Over the course of the last few months I have been reading articles about how the "social network" affects rankings throughout the search engines.  While google seems to be giving more weight to their own network, Google+, they are beginning to give weight to Facebook.  I believe over time they may start to give more weight.  I have a few pages of Facebook, a personal one and a couple of business ones.  Just recently I started to get spammed on my Kolea facebook page.  I have gotten Likes from dozens of people from foreign countries that post irrelevant posts that I have to delete daily.  So my question is.....currently are these likes beneficial in any way?  I would believe they are, but I am guessing that over time the search engines will learn how to decifer a genuine like from those... 08/06/2012

I just had a video make of Kolea at Waikoloa Beach Resort where the majority of our vacation rentals are. Check it out and let me know what you think. Have you done video? How did it effect your SEO and conversion? 03/19/2012

I recently completed two of my business pages on Facebook and Google+ and compared them.  I wanted to get your feedback on what you thought about the two platforms. Simplicity to Build- Google+While both of them were fairly straight forward to build, I found the Google+ page slightly easier to build.  The only downside I saw was that Google+ has a Video section and would not easily allow you to upload videos from YouTube, which I thought was a reasonable function giving the relationship of Google+ and YouTube. Look and Functionality- Google+Google+ offers a cleaner look and also is easy to interact on different levels with others.  Users- FacebookAt the end of the day, Facebook has a significant amount more of users, which to me is the most meaningful of anything.  In the year I have be... 03/17/2012

One of the only two remaining foreclosures in the pipeline at the luxury Kolea condos at Waikoloa Beach Resort came on market a few moments ago.  The 2 bedroom groundfloor condo Kolea 15G is priced at $429,900 (MLS 251456). Even a foreclosure at Kolea still has the pocket doors and summer kitchen on the lanai. I don't think it is accidental that the listing agents for REO properties (bank-owned after foreclosure) release their hot listings on Friday afternoon.  If history repeats itself, the lucky new owner will be either a cash buyer or one with the foresight to have a prequal letter in hand to submit an offer over the weekend. If that's a bit too quick for you, or you prefer the 3rd floor, Kolea 16J (my listing) had a price reduction to $499,000 today.  That is a short sale and also r... 01/13/2012

In 2010, there were 12 condos sold at beachfront Kolea at Waikoloa Beach Resort--seven of them distressed properties (bank-owned REOs or short sales). As of this morning, 13 Kolea villas have closed in 2011--nine of them distressed. There are also two short sales still in escrow, and two non-short sales in escrow, one of which will close before year end. That is an incredibly consistent level of demand for the past two years.  The question is whether it can be sustained in 2012, given that as of today we have only one distressed listing at Kolea and there is a significant gap between distressed and non-distressed pricing. All Kolea villas have the upscale finishes; Kolea 16J is now lowest priced at $525,000 (MLS 233827)  There are only two active listings which are short sales and I've ... 12/21/2011
