Seeking Mortgage Professional for Referrals

Ed Nailor — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:55:56 +0000

This website still gets people looking for a mortgage. I still get inquiries about mortgage related items, even though I am no longer in the mortgage field. I am seeking a mortgage professional in the Charlotte mortgage industry seeking an advertising option to refer interested parties to. I am seeking only ONE professional to advertise on this website. I must feel confident in your ability and professionalism. Please contact me if you are interested in this advertising option.

Dominating the Mortgage SERPS over a year later

Still top Google for Charlotte home loans - over 1 year after leaving mortgage industry!

Many people come to this website seeking mortgage information. Among them are several local mortgage loan officers. However, as you can clearly see, this website is no longer about mortgage loans or home loans in the Charlotte area, not like it once was.

You see, over a year and a half ago, I left the mortgage industry. However, before leaving, I was able to build a very strong internet presence in regards to mortgage related search inquiries. In other words, when someone searched for home loans in Charlotte, you could put money on the fact that I would be at the top of the search results, especially within Google.

Sure, I have left the mortgage field altogether; however, in many mortgage related searches, this website still DOMINATES over a year later! How is that?

I won’t go into all the details here, but for those of you that are looking to dominate your local market, be it in mortgage, real estate or any other industry, I am available for both consultation and website development. Not only can I help you create an attractive and professional online presence, but I can also help you create an online presence that becomes dominant, providing you with a ton of online leads.

Consultation is not free. Sorry, but I worked my ass off to attain these high rankings, and will not simply give the formula away for free! However, if you are in the mortgage industry, and want to actually out rank me in the search engines, I can help.

Feel free to contact me to inquire about help. I do however ask that your inquiry be serious, and that you do understand that while my help is affordable, it is not free.

So there you go.. if you want to dominate the search engines, I know how to make it happen and with staying power. If interested, let me know.

TwitterFeed it is!

So I have been looking for something to update my Twitter account when I add a post to this website, and have gone through a number of Twitter plugins, none of which seem to work. I tried TwitterFeed.com again, which takes your RSS feed from your website and then publishes the most recent post(s) to your Twitter profile. They even post to other services, such as Facebook. While I added my Facebook account to my TwitterFeed.com account, nothing has yet updated, so we will see if that works.

As long as TwitterFeed continues to update my posts on a regular basis, I will stick with this. I am not a big fan of adding plugin after plugin as it seems to make your WordPress website bloated and slows things down. Besides, just one more thing to go wrong!

So in short, I am using TwitterFeed to publish my posts from this website to my Twitter account. So, if you want to keep up, you can subscribe to my RSS feed or follow me at http://www.twitter.com/ednailor

Sr. Web Developer

Ed Nailor — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 04:27:14 +0000

I have recently accepted a position with Hats Off Creative as their Sr. Web Developer. As such, my job is to work with the design team in the development and deployment of websites for our clients. Websites will range from small 4 and 5 page websites to more complex CMS driven websites. My experience working with HTML, PHP, CSS and CMS programs such as WordPress and Drupal will come in handy for sure.

Looks like 2010 is going to be a great year! I am looking forward to this very interesting and exciting opportunity and expect that I will both learn and contribute much in this role!

Powered By WordPress

Ed Nailor — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 02:18:42 +0000

This may not be that big a secret, but EdNailor.com is proudly powered by WordPress. I could have taken a number of approaches to building this website. I could have certainly used straight HTML code and created each page “by hand”, but knowing that I planned to add a lot of content over time, that would become tedious. HTML only websites are great for simple 5 page websites, but if your website is going to handle a number of pages and a lot of content, you need a good content management system to power it all.

So why WordPress?

Simply put, it is among the best in CMS programs. I have looked at several of the open source CMS programs, including WordPress, Joomla and Drupal and have come to the conclusion that WordPress may be the best overall CMS program available. What started out as a blogging software program has really grown up to handle just about anything you can throw at it. Not that programs like Joomla or Drupal are bad… they’re not bad at all. They are just a bit more complex. They do offer a slight advantage in the fine tuning of certain features when compared to WordPress, but are most suitable for larger corporate websites, for example.

So if you are looking to get your own website, I highly recommend WordPress. If you are not sure how to install it, how to configure it, or even where to host it… or if any of that is simply greek to you, then visit my WordPress installation and hosting service at TheQuickPress.com or InstallThePress.com, which is only dedicated the installation of WordPress, but does not offer any hosting. These are services I have put together to quickly and securely install WordPress for your website, at a very affordable price! And I have installed a number of WordPress websites, so you know you are in good hands!
