thatsthem.com is relatively new and free. What I liked about this site is that it has a lot of cell phone numbers instead of outdated landlines.

It is called a Brute Force Attack. It is done by robots that attempt to guess your login/password.

There is a way to block the whole county, but only untrustworthy websites offer this code. 

If you want to block them, you can Blacklist the IP Addresses one by one, or by the IP string. You do this by adding it to your htaccess file in your website's database.

I'm assuming you are using wordpress, and there are security plugins that can do this for you easily.

There is no way to really prevent them from trying to access your site. The best thing to do is to have a very strong login/password combo that a robot could never guess.

When it comes to your analytics, just focus on the data from the United States. Brute Force Attacks come from all countries.

Be aware that when it is recognized as a phone number, it will automatically turn blue and override any color formatting you may have done. 

If you have a dark background, you won't be able to see it well.

Work with a local printing company. Tell them what you want to do, and they can explain how to leave the address space open when you are designing the card, and also how to format it as a mail merge for your printer. I also find that some local print shops are cheaper than online services. 

If you don't design them yourselves, most printing companies have an in-house graphic designer who will do exactly what you want, and probably better than if you just ordered them offline.

@Antonio Colemanundefined It seems like a CRM sytem but specifically geared towards real estate investors in the features it provides and the analytics the software will produce. I'm not sure if it is the right thing for my company, but it could help someone who doesn't have the time or IT ability to work with a different system.

My company just received an email from a specialized real estate cloud service, Voyanta. It seems great because it is geared towards real estate investors/lenders, but I'm wondering if anyone has heard of them or used them before?

Today, Google is now prioritizing websites who are mobile optimized. While Google applies updates to the search algorithm all the time, this update speciifically

"

  • Affects only search rankings on mobile devices
  • Affects search results in all languages globally
  • Applies to individual pages, not entire websites

"

If you haven't already, now is the time to update your websites to be responsive.

It most likely will be seen by Facebook as a contest. I don't know what the rules are for Facebook contests/sweepstakes, but there are some restrictions. Make sure to read them if you move forward with this plan.

If professionals are blogging in order to gain exposure, giving them a link is gold! If you create a good relationship with them, they might give you a link on their website as well.
