Peralta Hills Real Estate Marketing: An Experiment

By
Mortgage and Lending with Arizona Wholesale Mortgage Inc.

peralta hills estateThis post actually has nothing to do with Peralta Hills real estate listings, but I wanted to use the geographic area as an example because it works perfectly for this real estate marketing tip.

(By the way, if you are a Realtor who sells in the Peralta Hills area, I own PeraltaHills.com and I am interested in working something out that would benefit us both. Please contact me if you work in that area of Orange County or would like to.)

For this tip, it helps if you know a little bit about HTML. Just the basics- nothing too fancy. However, even if you don't know HTML at all, you could write your post somewhere else (in WYSIWYG), and then copy the raw HTML.

Then-- delete that post! In other words, don't post duplicate content anywhere, ever.

The video below shows you how to create a powerful, additional website for your business for about $1.50 per year. It works and if you follow my advice you can even go right to page one, result one.

Key tips to remember after you watch the video:

1. Make sure the content you create is 100% original. When I say 100%, I mean, rename the file names for your photos and the whole deal.

2. Make sure the first sentence of your content is 150 characters. The opening sentence is your page description! Very important. I want to get a little "Peralta Hills" action on this post, so I wrote a good opening sentence.

3. Use images, and make sure they have alt tags. If you want, I can point you to a graphic designer who could make you a template- if you don't know HTML.

Enjoy!

Edit: In the video below I say that you can't enter HTML in Craig's List. I know that's not true. You can enter HTML in Craig's List, but it's restricted. They allow very few tags. Backpage, however, doesn't have those restrictions.

What technology can do is over the top.  Never thought of this approach.  It's just about finding your niche.

interesting tip, had not hear the "first sentence of your content is 150 characters" before but it makes sense as that is what google displays for you.. nice!

Very cool indeed.  I need to look into this - either this weekend or next.  I might even have some older ones I did from a couple of yrs ago.

Just plain brilliant.  People with golden ideas like this don't have to wear black hats.  This just makes so much sense and cents.  After viewing your video I ran a couple A/B tests.  It works great!  I will start incorporating this into my overall internet marketing strategy this week.  For $35-$50/yr I expect a lot more ROI than most other advertising.  Thank you.  -Lee
