If you have read my previous posts you know that I have been conducting a few real time experiments in SEO to see if I could target a few specific real estate related keywords that promote the REDX listing lead program and get them to the first page of google. My previous experiments with for the terms Agents Online and Real Estate Country. By using a linking strategy the sites were able to reach number two ranking on google for the corresponding search term. Unfortunately, both sites ended up getting hacked, and as a result their listing on the first page fell down a bit.
I did however learn a lot in conducting this SEO experiment, and I think it is time to start another real time experiment to see how quickly I can get two additional keywords to the top of google. I have purchased three URL's that have to do with specific aspects of the real estate industy. Specifically, I am focusing on our favorite tehcnology, and one of my favorite market intelligence tools, the lockbox. Lockbox.me and Supraekey.org are the sites and I am trying to see how quickly I can get those two sites onto the first page of google for the terms lockbox and supra ekey.
I can tell you right now that the supra ekey site will get to the top much faster than the lockbox site; at least that is what I expect.
So what is next for Lockbox and Ekey?
I have loaded a pretty basic web page for the lockbox site. Because this is an experiment, and does not directly impact the other traning programs that I am doing for various brokers and real estate agents the site is currently just garbage. When I have time to load the supra ekey site, I expect it will be very similar. However because they have a keyword specific URL they may start moving up in the ranking regardless of the content.
Stay tuned...
