Have you heard of Dr. Wilson?Dr Wilson SEO

I have subscribed to Dr. Wilson's FREE newsletter and get these on an occasion basis.  I'm always interested in finding out ways to help me get my real estate web sites noticed and to bring in qualified leads. 

Just a note, Dr. Wilson doesn't flood your inbox with spam, which I say "thank you".  I have read several of his articles, but was curious as to whether or not anyone else has subscribed or read any of his books, newsletter or other stuff?  

Dr. Wilson's Plain-Spoken Guide to Search Engine Optimization is designed to clarify what SEO is all about so you can make informed decisions on how to approach it.

Here are the Seven Step core chapters:

  • An Introduction to Search Engine Ranking
  • Step 1. Conduct Keyword Research
  • Step 2. Determine Current Ranking
  • Step 3. Make Your Webpages Search Engine Friendly
  • Step 4. Help Search Engines Index Each Page in Your Site
  • Step 5. Get Links to your Website
  • Step 6. Optimize Key Webpages
  • Step 7. Keep from Getting Banned by the Search Engines
  • Outsourcing Search Engine Optimization
  • SEO For Local Businesses
  • Appendix 1: Search Engine Optimization Software
  • Appendix 2: Search Engine Optimization Resources

I know Ralph personally and can attest to the high value of the content he provides on both his website and newsletters. He is truly the godfather of Internet marketing. Having said that, he has yet to really embrace blogging and other forms of social media, which makes him a bit of a marketing albatross.

Still, anything he produces is worth reading. I am a subscriber to his premium newsletters and have sat under his tutelage at one of his workshops.

Michael, after you look into it, let me know what you think!

Paul, thank you for the feedback. I too felt that he was genuine, but maybe a bit behind in his approach.  Glad to here you have personal experience with him.  So, who do you look to for your blogging information and is blogging working for you?

I have no idea. I know it's important to have content-rich sites (whether regular or blog). And I know I'm better off paying someone to do SEO than to figure it out myself. Thanks for a post on a topic important to all of us.

I love step #7.  I actually accomplished that one, once.  Duplicate content and too many links.  Whatta no-no.

Great post!

Chris, it's difficult to stay on top of all the SEO requirements and how really knows for sure, they do!  Have you ever thought about a SEO coach?  Not that I'm suggesting it, justing think about the possiblity myself.  Thanks for sharing!

I am learning soooo much from the different blogs my head is starting to hurt! Thanks for posting, the knowledge and information that everyone is sharing here is really great.

I think for me I am better off letting someone else handle the SEO. Maybe someday I will understand it all, but its doubtful!
