I recently wrote a post about Orange County SEO here on Activerain. I wrote a very scant entry, scarcely long enough for a search engine like Google to index. SEO is such a competitive field in itself that I expected little result from one article, but I followed the rules for a post. Rules endorsed by Orange County SEO expert, Steve Wiideman. Steve is actually recognized as the top expert in SEO- Google searches will quickly reveal that. One thing that upset the status quo a few weeks ago was the little post I wrote, that for a while, appeared ahead of Steve's number one spot. I ran the query a few times on Google because the term, SEO expert is Steve's territory. Before long the glory of that spot faded and my little post retreated to the bottom of the page.

After that it stayed there for several days, moved to page two and sometimes re-appears on page one. 

But it started something. It started a friendly challenge by Steve. You can see his challenge here on my original Orange County SEO post, in the comments.

Steve joined ActiveRain. If he says anything more on his profile or starts adding to his blog, pay attention to everything he says, because he's a force to be reckoned with in the SEO world. 

One SEO phenomenon which I've been following and about which I've been postulating a theory, is Google's recent real time search, which I have been saying, I believe is a sea-change in the Google search algorithm.

This experience started something for Steve and I both. I'm taking a different bent on Steve's Challenge- Steve plans to go the traditional route of posting content to his blog (already done), placing back-links on Twitter, Digg, Stumbleupon, etc. while I'm going to pursue my theory that Google likes fresh content and add to my blogs on the topic of Orange County SEO expert, and SEO in general daily and see whether Google prefers continuous fresh content over content that's static with back-links. A little time will tell what's going on with the Google algorithms and the effect of real time search.

Why does all this matter to you, the Real Estate professional? Because, in the end, what counts is not your SEO effort, but how you turn that SEO into SEM. Results driven Search Engine Marketing. That's what really counts- how well your web presence converts into sales. That's where you and I may have the advantage, simply by being rainmakers and posting on a regular basis on our ActiveRain blogs. There are few sites that offer the advantage we enjoy here. You see, ActiveRain is as real time as it gets. Every day folks post to their blogs and the site has an amazing influence on our business in what could be the most market focused website there is that gives the most back to its members.

I love these types of tests!

Hey Dave, let's get together next week and talk about Phase II. Did you see my rank in Yahoo! today? I like where you're going with the fresh content idea. However, I haven't touched my top10seotips.com website in forever and my ranking remains unchanged for:

  • SEO Expert
  • Free SEO eBook
  • Top 10 SEO Tips
Although, as more people start hitting the little plus sign above the search results (Show Options) and refining their searches by date and other criteria, I can see where fresh content can be important. However, do you really want to create a fresh page with a redundant keyword theme every day/week? I don't.

I'd rather focus on producing new, different, useful content. Which is why I'd like to chat with you next week. Me and several other IM vets are getting together in 2010 in a co-op style marketing strategy that includes webinars, experiments, interviews, and top 10 lists. You may be interested. Give me a call or shoot me email offline.

Best,
Steve

That would be great! Actually, Google seems a little put out with me right now. It has pushed me up a little in rank, but it also is slowing down its indexing of my blogs, skipping over recent posts. I don't think it likes my experimental approach much. I'll contact you.
