Elizabeth Gilbert

Posted by admin in Personal Brands, Writers on June 20th, 2009

After more than five years of sending out work for publication and collecting only rejection letters, Elizabeth Gilbert finally broke onto the literary scene in 1993, when one of her short stories was pulled from the slush pile at Esquire magazine and published under the heading “The Debut of an American Writer.”

She has since written the #1 New York Times Bestselling memoir “Eat, Pray, Love,” about the year she spent traveling the world alone after a difficult divorce. Anne Lamott called Eat, Pray, Love “wise, jaunty, human, ethereal, heartbreaking.” The book has been a worldwide success, now published in over thirty languages with over 7 million copies in print. It was named by The New York Times as one of the 100 most notable books of 2006, and chosen by Entertainment Weekly as one of the best ten nonfiction books of the year. In 2008, Elizabeth was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, by Time Magazine

Real Estate Branding For Search Rankings

Posted by admin in Branding Tools on June 18th, 2009

The Australian real estate industry is serviced mainly by several large franchises such as L. J. Hooker, Ray White and Elders.

Online research indicates that these franchises rely on real estate portals such as realestate.com.au domain.com.au and homehound.com.au to send them prospective buyers for the homes they are selling.

The process goes something like this, a real estate office gains a property to sell, they then pay a listing fee to list the property on the major portals.

Because these portals are used by so many agencies and have thousands of properties listed at any one time, search engines rank the portals in the top positions in their search results.
