6. Submit to Real Estate Directories. But only to those related to Real Estate

Keep submitting your site to directories like there's no tomorrow! Just take a look at your website and see if it's directory-worthy. If it is not, re work your site and resubmit! Do not fall into the trap of submitting to other types of directories. You want all of your inbound links to be real estate related. If your page topics and inbount links are related, Google and others will quickly see you as a "trusted site"

I would be careful about the directory submission. You can get some real negative results if your site keeps appearing on sites that have no relation to what you do. I would check out natural or organic SEO because that is what you want more than anything.

Bill, glad to hear the post was useful.

Shane. Could not agree with you more. My reference to directory submission shoud have referenced real estate related directories. I want all inbound links to be related to real estate. I get a ton of junk requests for links from sites totally not related and I will always demand that their link "that will only be up 10 days in fairness...." be taken down immediately. Am editing the post now.

Directories were something that I looked at a month ago or so. I am still very new to establishing an Internet presence and strategy.

I decided that I did not know enough to select directories, worried to avoid link farms.

Now, my blog posts get good rankings, but my website less so. I need to update my website somewhat - new industry changes in addition to normal content maintenance.

Then I will probably take another look at the recommendations that are generously frequently offered in you blog.

Thanks,

Richard
