Are you willing to post your fees to do this so we can compare?

Teri: I'm actually a Realtor in Las Vegas. I used to be a developer but I don't do it anymore accept for my own sites.

I only write these blog topics because I get asked questions frequently and would like a place to point collegues when the situation arises. 

I would be happy to recommend some great companies, however.

Send me a message and I'll point you in the right direction.

I just added the SEO Link Strategy Section

I just added Good SEO keywords for Each Web Page and Good SEO Descriptions for Each Web Page to the index.

I just added new topics to this blog: Good SEO Web Page Content Titles and Writing Great SEO Content and added an area for SEO articles by other authors.

SEO Tools was just added to the SEO index.

I think I just found the holy grail for my website..

This is great stuff, but who has time in this business to do all of this SEO stuff on their own? If you are going to do it right and you are not a developer, I would suggest that You speak to one at least about the design layout of your site. What a blessing to have all of this information at our fingertips though!! Thanks a million!

Eric: Thanks for your positive feedback!

Thayer Crew: I looked into IBP sometime ago and found that someone still has to do the work. IBP won't write your content and it won't create inbound links. It is a good tool to find out where you stand and give you guidelines but a webmaster or his developer still has to do the work of making the site popular and relevant.

Agent - Thank you so much for putting this all together.  I have a template site right now but plan to get my own site soon.  Thanks for the info. 

Maureen: FYI your current site: http://www.rocklandhomestaging.com/ looks sharp. If it is a template site you may stick close to that layout and design...

Thank you for all of the good topics you are covering here.  I am thinking of redoing my design to make it more user friendly and I will keep all of this in mind.  I am doing all of this myself (well, my husband helps) so it is nice to have a guide of sorts.  I am thinking of building my own template for some of the parts that appear on every page.  I have a bunch of neighborhood pages where everything is the same except where the map is centered and what level of zoom, and the sales comps.  I guess I need to sit down and think how to do it.  Maybe I can lay it out on paper first.

Rita: I am putting together a few articles on building a new site. You are right on by starting out with paper.

WOW. I finally know what SEO stands for!  thanks for helping us neophytes understand. Cheers!

Rebecca: all of this info has been organized in one site at http://www.hildrethhome.com/design/

excellent..thank you for the information

SEO Question.  I just had a high pressure call from a company names USASEOPRO.com.  They claim to be  a highly effective SEO specialist with guarantees to first page placement.  I am not sure I understand it all, but they build something like a mirror site that links to your site without HTML errors.  They demonstrate other live sites with excellent placement, just no real estate sites yet.  They are not cheap.  Has anyone heard of them?  Has anyone had any experience with them?  Thanks.

USASEOPROs SCAM.  Mike, I wish I had seen this entry sooner and I hope you haven't joined USASEOPROs.com.  They will get you on a search engines first page but those 100 page guarantees are on a search engine no one has ever heard of.  When you email them or call you get no response because they won't change the mirror site - they already have your money!  You could do the same thing, just list a hundred key words and submit, that's all they do.  You'll get your first page listings then drop off the grid.  This company is a scam and if they had a real storefront instead of the garage they work out of, you could go back and see three idiots working on a computer.  The only thing these scammers did right was hire a good salesman who knows the tricks of the trade.  Save your money Mike.

Great posting.  Very helpful.  Thank You!!!!!!!

I just got a high-pressure call from http://www.usaseopros.com/.  The guy tried to pressure me to place an order right then and there, and when I said I needed some time to think about it, started spieling out insulting comments to shame me into buying their products.  He told me procrastination equals failure, and I would never be successful in business since I don't want to take immediate action.  A load of crap!  When I told him firmly I wasn't going to place an order now, he started cursing, told me he didn't want to do business with me, and hung up.   Sounds like a bunch of scammers who just want to take the money and run.  I'm going to report them to BBB and other consumer protection agencies.  I'd hate for other people to endure the infuriating experience I had with them.  DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH http://www.usaseopros.com/!

Anyone in a hurry to sell something is not a good person with whom to do business. Understanding SEO is a good idea, but there is no substitute for good design and relevant content.

same here, high pressured sales guy from usaseopros. why would anyone drop 2500-3000 to some guy after talking for only 15 minutes. he hung up after 30 minutes of me telling him he couldnt get our site 1st page on the exact keywords i wanted. adding your city to any keyword can get you first page, thats not where the traffic is at.

Thanks for all the information and warnings.  I will bookmark this and get working on the information.

USASEOPROS is a huge scam artist company... They burned us for $6000 last year and almost put my family out on the street because they lied to me and promised the world. It was strange now that I think about it because the owner of this company cold called me off some MLM list and pitched me and then promised me first page on Google for my keywords. Yea right! UsaSeoPros are flat out thieves.
