If search engines are replacing the yellow pages...dont forget your phone is still a very important tool...make sure the public can find your number !

Scribd is a document publishing service and Ning is a service that allows you to create your own social network, say, for a community, school, organization, team, etc. Both are valuable beyond their help with SEO. @Patrick, in this case, I’m focusing just on helping agents control more of the top-10 search results for their name by building profiles on high ranking services.

Every company has their own lead distribution systems. In Century21.ca's case, they've designed their site in a way that leads, in most cases, go directly to agents. For example, if you were a Century 21 agent, you'd have a site at century21.ca/Jim.Straughan which would rebrand the century21.ca site to you when you drove traffic into the site. Each page of the site would show your phone numbers & email, and all of the forms would generate leads to you as well. Regarding long-tail searches, competing for traffic at this level is one of Century21.ca's competitive advantages. @Jim, thanks for raising those concerns.
