SEO Tutorial For Your Websites- Counter Points To Facebook Featured Post
" SEO as a marketing strategy for Real Estate is dying."
Interesting. I just helped Corinne with her SEO. She paid a guy who ripped her off for $4K. When he had her site her bounce rate was 79% and she only had about 400 visitors a month. She took a big chance with me after being ripped off like that. SHe took my SEO webinar and hired me to create her niche market. Within 1 month of us working together to get her site on the right track, her bounce rate went down to 7% and her visitors went up to now over 10,000 per month. Now she is in a high end niche market. People are not going to just google that area unless they know this is where they want to live.
Within those 4 weeks of coaching- ALL from them finding her website- she put a $1.4 million dollar buyer under contract to close in June, a $378,000 buyer under contract and a $362,0000 buyer under contact, all closing at the end of June. Calculating those commissions- I think that it was well worth using SEO to get those buyers. Not only that, I was writing a post about her success when she emailed me and told me she is now working with TWO more buyers who she is showing $600,000 range houses to and another $1 Million dollar buyer. They are all solid, and she was writing offers when she emailed me. Calculating those commissions- I don't think Corinne needs thousands of leads or even hundreds of leads. All she needs is a few solid leads each month that go to closing at those commission levels to make a very comfortable living. SEO, long tail blogging, long tail keywords, good title, tags and descriptions- may be old fashioned for some but it is working for Corinne and many other agents that have taken my SEO classes and coaching.

Very interesting, Alex, I will think about this.
In the meantime, I am making a very good living using the SEO tools that I learned from Katerina Gasset - niche marketing is the key to success.
I don't want a whole bunch of general traffic - I want the smaller amount of focused buyers that longtail keyword content gets to me.
Sounds like I am one of the 5-7 people. And there are a lot of us 5-7ers here on AR.
The point is that Google is not going anywhere anytime soon.
If you are working with seniors, baby boomers, luxury buyers or sellers, short sale sellers and many other niche markets- those people are certainly still going to search engines and they are still requesting specific information about buying or selling a home in the market you are working in. You can take that to the bank.
If your phone is not ringing it is only because you are not using your keywords correctly.
In our SEO To The Top session last week we studied how to discover your keywords and which ones to focus on to make you phone ring.
If you look at Corinne's website before I coached her you will see what another SEO person was doing and that was NADA nothing. So then you think that it is not way to go because it is not working for you. But it may not be SEO. It most likely is that you are doing the wrong things on your website and blogs.
Here is the post I wrote showing you the before and after for her SEO makeover on her website:
How would you like to make $75,000 in closed sales- because of your SEO makeover?
There are a lot of other agents who can speak volumes for SEO and that good SEO is keeping them very busy right now. Agents who I coach have testimonials, all of them do. Not one, not two, but all of them. Failure is not an option when I am coaching you.
Don't just jump ship because someone tells you to jump. I want to see the money. I want to hear about the closed deals.
And to further the point of the importance of having a darn good website is that if you go to Alex's Facebook page, guess where the links lead you to? You got it! His website.
It just so happens that my SEO To The Top webinar is happening right now and there is still time for you to get registered, get all the recorded sessions and then get the full DVD of all the sessions. This week, Wednesday we are going to be teaching linking strategies and how to use links for best value on your blog and website. Google still counts links as an important part of the votes for websites.
I also have 2 spaces open for bi-weekly private SEO and niche building coaching. Let me know if you want to talk about all of this: coachkaterina( at sign) gmail.com.
