Local Market Explorer issues

  • First of all, I love the concept of this plugin, and I imagine it works well for some who’s blog isn’t specifically about ONE thing or another. Brief summary: It pulls content Geo-specific content from Zillow, Education.com, Flickr, Walk Score and Yelp, allowing you to create city-specific pages on your site.

    However, here are the issues I’m having that I would love to see addressed in future releases.

    1. It breaks my theme – big time. I can probably work around that.
    2. I only want Yelp content. But even if I uncheck the other options, I still get Zillow, Education.com, Flickr, and Walk Score.
    3. I need a Yelp specific pages for each city, namely, night life or night clubs. Standard to the plugin is restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores – definitely not the things people on my site are looking for. But there is no option to change that.

    Like I said, though, great plugin – been looking for something like this for a long time. But this isn’t quite it.

  • I will not use any plug-ins which are offered by Zillow or Trulia. Agents… get with the program! This is the “wolf in sheep’s clothing”! All you do, as the agent that downloads their user friendly widgets is create one way links to THEIR site, giving your client an opportunity to leave your website and shop around on Zillow or Trulia; it’s a lose/win, and you end up the loser. Ask your self, how much free advertising and exposure do you want to give Trulia and Zillow? Why would you offer a widget which offers your customer the opporunity to leave your site? The more traffic you and other agents can direct to their site, the more they can charge YOU in advertising to get them back! “Hello” is anyone home???

    I see frequent post from Drew Myers on numerous real estate websites. Drew Myers is not here to help your business, he is here to help his own (Zillow)… under the guise of “I am one of you”.
