Blog Etiquette
While the Jury's still out on what best constitutes Blog Etiquette, here are a few basic pointers:

Give credit where it's due: Do not copy articles without providing a link to the original source and author. Blogs are also like Diaries, so your personal comments and opinions matter a lot - try using snippets of the articles you like (or a link) and add your story or comments as the main feature.

Don't Spam: This is a definite no-no! Do not use this blog as an advertising board or for comments that would offend others or have no meaning.

KISS: Yes...the "Keep it Simple, Stupid!" principle applies here too...simple, personalized entries are bound to be more popular and people can get the jist of the message quicker.

Sensitive Information: Do not publish or include information in your posts that would normally not be available to the public, as in internal company / senstive data or information.

Check for duplicates: If you are posting from a popular source or on a popular topic, there is a good chance someone may already have made a post..so please run a quick search of the blog before posting.

I hope you will find this blog an easy and useful tool. Please email me with your comments and suggestions at blog(at)ixpats.com.

Best regards,
JJ

Hi,
Just to let you know about Properazzi, the world’s largest property search website, and our expansion into new countries worldwide. We have developed specific content for many countries, and are currently working on new ones.

Properazzi is also expanding from Europe into the US and beyond. New partnerships with market leaders NCI and Halstead Property mean http://www.properazzi.com will show over half a million new listings from across the United States, Mexico, Dubai and South Africa.

If you like, we can keep you informed about our plans and provide you with the real estate statistics we pull from our property database.

Let me know if you need any additional information for your blog posts.

Properazzi.com connects agents to new buyers

International property portal Properazzi.com, which had more than 1 million visitors last month, is reaching out to buyers in new locations as it launches six new languages on its website including Arabic. Investors and cross-border buyers will be able to search for properties in Arabic, Greek, Hungarian, Swedish, Norwegian, and Czech, with Finnish, Danish and Hebrew to follow later this summer. The developments mean that estate agents with properties and/or buyers in these countries can use Properazzi.com to target overseas buyers and renters more effectively, and with no additional effort.

The portal's new language versions are more than just translations of the interface - Properazzi used its analysis of buyers looking for property in different languages to make the search process as natural as possible across the site. Keywords in agents' listings are automatically translated for the user, and major place names are recognized in all the website's languages. The addition of Arabic and Hebrew will also mean Properazzi is the only property portal which runs in five alphabets, and in both right-to-left and left-to-right text. You can check our Arabic content by clicking here: http://www.properazzi.com/ar/

Yannick Laclau, CEO of Properazzi.com, says, “I am glad that we added Arabic to our web site because what we're hearing from agents is a need for portals that really understand their buyers - how they search and what they want from the experience - and that allow them to reach out to more potential leads. By opening up its website to new nationalities, Properazzi's just become an even more attractive tool for agents to target foreign buyers."
