propertyportalwatch.com Top Ranked Blog

We’re proud to announce that propertyportalwatch.com has been ranked number one in the Global Ten list of international property blogs, published as part of the 2008 edition of the Inman News Special Report on the 25 Most Influential Bloggers.

The report was published last week, and is available to premium members of Inman’s news service.

In releasing the report, Inman said:

“There is a busy field of bloggers in the real estate industry, and some clear standouts that have built a loyal following. This annual list of most influential real estate bloggers recognizes those bloggers who are well-known, well-read and have a knack for stirring up discussion and debate on important, timely and relevant topics for the industry.”

In other news, we have teamed with Inman News to create a FREE one day workshop on the 6th January 2009 in New York, the day before Inman Connect. Our workshop brings together property portal operators from around the world to look at the hottest issues facing their businesses today.

We also have 50 free tickets (est value $900) to the Inman Connect Conference.
