I picked a hell of a time to take down the Mortgage Market page. Google came through lenderama while updating page ranks. It was unable to find the page and dropped it. That page had a PR4 (that’s pretty good) and now it’s unranked. Hopefully it will come back.
Anyway, that doesn’t mean a thing to all of you. You’ve already found lenderama, and it’s you that motivated me to rebuild that page anyway. For years, lenderama’s mortgage market page was powered by Myers Internet. It was a pretty darn good report, with lots of cool graphs, and daily updates. Then MGIC purchased Myers. Then MGIC decided to replace that cool market report with a piece of garbage from Mortgage Market Guide. Sorry MMG, but that’s the truth.
For a while, I’ve been looking into different sources for market data. Then it dawned on me. Why not lot’s of sources? What’s better? One expert’s opinion? Or dozens?
The new Mortgage Market Trends page pulls data from multiple sources throughout the day.
So far, about half a dozen but more than twice that are in the pipeline. We just need to get some technical issues straitened out.
A better economic calender is in the works, as a few surprises still to come. It might take a few more weeks before everything is up to speed, but I ran out of patience, and Google’s actions convinced me that this page is ready enough. Call it a beta if you want. I’d love to get your feedback as I continue to build it out.
Todd once again, you are thinking. Always thinking about what your sites can do to help others. not what it can do for you. bravo
Todd…
Don’t sweat it. I have had something similar to me happen, and my page rank came back. Even if you lost some pr, that is not an indication that the page will do poorly in the SERPS
