NAR must be listening to Active Rain

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage 531132

As many of us know, and are currently practicing as well, Bob Stewart has been preaching the benefits of long tail searches, and their effect on SERP. We've seen many blog posts recently taking advantage of unique titles such as, homes with pools, homes with basements, homes with decks, etc.

They're all intended to take advantage of the long tail search, and rocket single practioners to the top of the SERPs for those searches. BTW...it works too.

Well, it looks like other people are listening too. This came up in my Google Alert search today. The big guys are in on the act, so there must be value in what Bob has been proposing.

Put your thinking cap on Bob...we need to stay one step ahead.

Sure enough the big guys need a little nudge from those in the field who understand how to attract buyers.

Dang, that long tail niche work is the one place we could consistenly trump the big consolidators, if they start getting smart that'll just start leaving us the REALLY long tails stuff like "4 bedroom homes on a cul de sac in Crofton with a finished basement and a dog named Rover".

It doesn't take long for the big guys to find out the trends. That is why they are still big!

I can tell you that the folks at NAR and at Realtor Magazine do follow what goes on here.

Where is that house that Bliz is promoting? I think that's a perfect fit for me. I'm sorry to hear that we're going to have to compete with the big boys on long tail searches as well.

Richard, you might be onto something, they are probably members and have someone reading blogs for new info full time.  ;-)

NAR would be foolish not to pay attention to all the great work that is going on with Activerain.

Make it a great week!

Richard, once our competitors see we are ranking, they want to jump on the bandwagon and see how it's done!

Richard, 

This is actually great news.  I know we recently did a post titled Homes with Fireplaces for Sale in Union County.  Not sure how high it got us on the search engines...  I'll have to check that out.  :)
