** Karen Stefani Karen@SoldByDesign.com from Cape Cod in Massachusetts Be sure your webmaster takes advantage of the "404 or badurl" page. When someone types in a misspelled page "hmoe.htm" rather than "home.htm"), or clicks on a page that may have been deleted from your web site and is still showing in a search engine, instead of getting "HTTP - 404 File Not Found" they end up on a real page. Try: http://cape-cod-real-estate.com/typeanythingyouwant to see what happens

** Steele V. Propp steelep@aol.com of Minneapolis, MN has this super idea "This recently came to my attention from a colleague. It allows you to sign up for your own financing website offering 50,000 mortgages and refinance loans from leading providers at substantial cost savings (no origination fee). And you will get legal referral fees while not having to do the work of a mortgage officer.

** Another great idea from Steele SteeleP@aol.com of Minneapolis, MN, Here is a free link that can be added to any of the members website. It is a Legal Information website with hundreds of forms and Q & A. It has broken down information by state or province. Real estate info is good and real estate agent friendly. Most important (to us) it recommends using a real estate professional. email Steele directly if you want to be added. A sample site is located at: Sample Free Consumer and Business Legal Information Site

** With rates at a 20 month low refinances could be a wonderful reason to contact former clients. Go to: WebConsultants

** Then if you wish to see my site as a sample fill in "MNWebConsults" in the member site box on the left hand side. They are approved in 29 states at this point and should have all 50 within the next few months. Even though my state is on the waiting list, I am using it for referrals in other areas of the country. Nothing to lose. Takes about 10 minutes to fill out the form to get your own free site.

** Fabulous info from Dr. Kevin Nunley Have you ever lost a password? This is one time when search engines work like a dream. Type "password recovery" in Google.com and you'll see all kinds of software come up that will help you get your password back. There may be a lesson in this. The only reason I knew to search for "password recovery" was I wrote copy for a software developer in that business. It's important to think of the ways your *prospects* will describe what you . Password recovery developers would do well to list themselves as "lost password" or "find my password"--terms prospects would be more likely to use.

** George Farkas gfarkas@remax.net fromSt Paul, MN
offers this tip The CCIM people and CIPS (certified international property specialist) have recently changed over from the HP12c to the 10B and you need the 10B now to complete the class work. The good news is that the 10B is only $40 at http://www.buy.com which is less than 1/2 the price of the 12C. I really struggled in the financials class trying to use my trusty 12c, so those Realtors that are considering buying one for Xmas might want to keep this change in mind.

** Gymbeaux:(Jim Brown) gymbeaux@mail.com from Mississippi
Go to www.lowermybills.com great web site where they compare services such as long distance, on-line, car insurance, etc. Discovered that I have the second best long distance service already and the difference is not worth changing for but I could literally cut my car insurance bill in half. Wow!

** Tip from Ron Assef out of Palm Beach Gardens, Fl http://www.dialpad.com "just received a phone call from my daughter in Canada and she was calling free while they were on the internet. All you need is a microphone and headset. The quality wasn't AT&T but was very good (I was surprised). I just signed up but haven't tried it yet because I wanted to share it with my friends right away. As far as I can see, the advertising is covering the cost. Try it."

** THIS ONE IS NEAT! Another one Compliments of Steve Long RESoftware4u@cs.com Horsham, PA http://www.GuruNet.Com is a free download. Once installed, as long as you're online, whenever you see an area code and wonder where it is, just hold the ALT key down, click on the area code, and GuruNet tells you where it is! Same for zip codes and MANY other things. See a township you don't know - click on it, and Gurunet will provide a map for you. Definitions of words, all kinds of things. It may sound insignificant, but I've found that it saved me a few minutes looking something up quite a few times now.
