Website Makeover With Great Results

By
Real Estate Agent with Sun Rise Real Estate

During the past four years I have worked non-stop on my large website.  Although I ranked high with Yahoo, MSN, and Bing, Google basically ignored my site.  I don't blame Google because they did index hundreds of my URLs but because of a certain search phrase in the area where I am a Realtor too many others had found the key to getting thousands of URLs indexed.  

I moved my entire website about a year ago to get away from a Host who had hidden several of his other local clients contact information and site URLs throughout my site.  The move helped but the new server was not equipped for a real estate search website.

There was no shortage of Hosts and Servers that promised they could do the job, but when I explained how I wanted the MLS listings to feed to my site the majority did not know what I was talking about.  While searching the web I found a site through the National Board of Realtors, joined a forum, and asked a question.   Out of the responses to my question was one that stood out.  We began to correspond and a few weeks ago I moved my very large website again.  The hidden garbage is gone from my site and Google has already indexed thousands of my URLs.   Happy New Year to me!

Yep.  And the one who hid all the crap on your site still swears he never did a thing that his customers didn't know about and approve.  I'm so glad you found another way to get those IDX pages indexed and its all working out.

I told one of my guys yesterday that it would take a PAN-normous amount of effort to rank a site for the real estate term here now...so you may not be able to do that.  But go after the less competitive terms and build a page around each one of them.  Get the links for each term, and eventually you'll start ranking for many of them.  Call me.
