real estate seo: Real Estate and Social Media - Are you using it? - 11/06/11 01:11 PM
Every day my SEO alert newsletters emphasize how important it is becoming to utilize Google Plus, the new service that Google is using to try so hard to compete with Facebook. I don't spend the time on it that I do on Facebook, but I do look at the stream there often, and seldom see any real estate agents...at least in my circles. I probably have about 100 Realtors in my circles, but no posts. If you aren't posting your blogs and important page links on Google Plus, I firmly believe you are missing out on an important message to Google

real estate seo: How to choose a real estate SEO person - 04/26/11 11:10 PM
How to choose a real estate SEO person (or company) Jill Whalen is one of the original SEO experts, and one of the most respected. She owns a company called High Rankings and travels the world, literally, as a speaker and teacher. She also has a very good newsletter with tips and tricks that you can sign up for. I ran across this excellent video with Jill being interviewed by Dr. Ralph Wilson with Web Marketing Today, another respected website and company in the business. He asks Jill how to choose an SEO company and she tells you what to look for,

real estate seo: Is Your IDX Provider Competing With Your Real Estate Site? - 01/24/10 05:15 PM
I've recently worked on an Albuquerque real estate agent's site that used to use one of the IDX companies that keep and host the MLS on their own servers and website. Typically, these companies either assign you a sub-directory of their website, or you are forced to link directly to their own pages that cover your area. While these types of IDX's are anything BUT optimal for your website with SEO in mind, they are much less expensive than the ones that actually generate pages for your site. Some of the better of these inexpensive IDX companies will work with you

real estate seo: Why your real estate website may bounce in Google - 09/27/09 04:53 PM
Matt Cutts did one of his fascinating videos about the inside workings of Google several weeks ago that answered a lot of questions I get from my real estate clients these days. Everyone's site seems to bounce up and down in the rankings, with the exception of the most powerful ones that pretty much stay in the number one or two positions. Sometimes these sites can move around a bit, but for the most part they stay, as they are usually based on the size of the site, the age, and number of incoming links it has. Anyway, Matt explains that

real estate seo: New Social Website to Help With SEO - 03/28/09 03:33 AM
I don't know if you all know David McInnis or not. He was the founder of PRWeb.com and is a brilliant as well as a super nice guy. PRWeb continues to be one of the best SEO tools around, although another company bought it out. The excellent search engine tools and the way Google favors their press releases is in no small way due to David's influence and guidance as well as his working relationship with Matt Cutts. David has come up with a new social site, and this one again will benefit you from links and for your SEO. Nothing

real estate seo: How to Choose a Real Estate SEO Consultant - 01/12/09 09:16 PM
I've run across so many so-called SEO companies here in Myrtle Beach that it actually makes me ashamed to be in the business sometimes. I've seen some people on Active Rain that are attempting to pass themselves off as SEO experts and they are far from it. We've got an SEO/web design company here that is actually using their regular web customers to rank their SEO customers with hidden links! It seems to get worse everywhere, every day and harder for you to know how to choose a legitimate real estate website SEO company. I've probably given out more free advice in

real estate seo: Real Estate, Blogs, and Opinions - 11/07/08 08:15 AM
This started out to be a comment on Joe Zekas' blog post, 10 Things You Should Stop Doing Immediately on Your Blog. (Have a free link, Joe) It got too long so I just decided to bring it here and say what I wanted to say. I think the points have been posted enough times, or you can go read the posting if you want to get your feathers ruffled. Here's my take on the whole blogging thing...from an SEO's standpoint, and as a person who bought a condo 5 years ago. There are two kinds of blogs in the real

real estate seo: Marketing Real Estate with Video - 06/21/08 08:16 AM
I've long been preaching to my Realtor friends that they need to buy a camera and start making short videos of their properties. I've seen several agents doing it, and I think it's an excellent way to market your listings - or other listings if you don't have one yourself. I don't understand why it isn't utilized more. As a buyer's agent or listing agent, you always visit homes and condos for sale. Why would you not bring a little camera and film the property? I have a friend, Sunny Yates, who sells Charlotte real estate (North Carolina) and understands the
