How To Increase Your Real Estate Traffic With Additional Back Links

Every week you can expose your blog article by submitting it to the Real Estate Market Reports Blog Carnival. That is a new link back to your story every week that you post one (or more). For consumers, the carnival is a plethora of great new real estate market reports from around the country.

The Eleventh edition of the Real Estate Market Reports Blog Carnival has just been posted. We have assembled some of the best real estate market reports from all over the United States. Please swing by and leave a comment or two!

This is the 11th of a series of blogs that are hosted at different sites each week, thus sending links back to the real estate blogging community from all over the internet. Thus far, the first 11 carnivals have been a great success and many new links back to a bunch of AR bloggers have been created.

If you missed any of the past Blog Carnivals, you can catch them here:

Hi Joe You made my day, great information on adding a back link to a blog. I will follow your advice. Good luck and success Lou Ludwig

Thanks for the info - I am going to try this.

I didn't even know about this Joe. I will check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Lou. I'll look for your post market report submission next week?

Thank you Norma. I would love to see a market report on Columbus, Ohio in the next blog carnival.

I'm glad you liked it Jen. We always have room for a Decatur, GA market report :).

I have two blogs and i have listed them both on this Carnival...thanks

PS. If I can do it...it must be easy

Well done Kelly. That was some great info on the Florida Keys!

Thanks Joe, Subscribed to your group and look forward to submitting Fort Myers Beach market reports.

That's great Bill. I look forward to reading about the Fort Myers Beach market.

Thanks for another great resource to increase our effectiveness and outreach. Will look into adding this to our arsenal of weapons

Thanks Joe...and great timing...I was just sitting down to read a few posts before putting together a market report for my town tonight. I'll definatley have to try this out!

Great information...thanks for posting!

Best wishes for a successful ending to 2008!

Joyce Logan, Realtor, Real Living HER, Ohio

Joe, WOW! Look at how that list has grown! I need to write one for this week!! Thanks again!

Thanks Joe. Another incentive to sit down and do your weekly market report. Btw, is there a carnival for monthly reports?

Thanks James, I look forward to reading about Beverly Hills!

That is super Kirstin, I look forward to your market report(s) on the Jersey Shore!

Hey Silvia, just post on any schedule that you like. This carnival is every week but we have some people who only contribute once a month.

Joe, I got a Google Alert on from you blog today. Thanks this is so very helpful.

Thank you Joyce. Enjoy your year-end as well and I hope to see you in the next Blog Carnival.

We missed you this week Jo but look forward to your next one. You're right, the list is growing each week!

Thank you for posting this, I shall try it.

Good suggestion. I might need to check into this. Thanks!

Thanks for the friendly reminder on this. I am actually trying to change my market reports format a little to make it more user friendly with the links.

Thanks Missy. Tough weekend for the Maize and Blue and my Army Black Knights.

I look forward to seeing your report from Barrington Corinne.

Thank you Susan. We can always use more market reports from around Florida!

You're welcome Michael. I look forward to reading all about Baltimore next week!

Joe, very cool ! Im starting to learn about the power of backlinks and all ! Thanks for the tip !

Thanks for sharing this Joe. I've heard of the Blog Carnival before, but until now did not bother to check it out. We have several websites/blogs and would love another place to post content/earn backlinks. :o) •:*¨¨*:• Joe & Colleen Lane •:*¨¨*:•

I'm going to try this!

Thanks Joe & Colleen, I look forward to reading your market reports.

Sounds incredible. I will check it out, when my heads not mush, in the morning.

Hey Christopher and Stephanie - I haven't received anybody's report from Philadelphia, so I hope you'll submit one this week!

Excellent Darla, I think you'll be amazed at how easy it is. You can create back links in just 5 minutes every week.

Joe: Sounds like a great opportunity here. I have not heard abou this one. I will check it out. Thanks

That sounds like a smart idea Trunda. I look forward to a Texas-Sized report this week!

I would love to see a good "Air Assault" market report Roland. I hope you submit one this week!

Thanks for the info. I don't know what a "trackback URL" is so I just put the same info as entered for the Permalink. We'll see if that works.

Mike

Hey Mike, I hope that doesn't make your site blow up ... :). You can leave that blank if you want, no big deal!

I learn something new at least once a day on AR. One more item to throw at my web/content/seo folks.

Thanks for the info.

Joe-I tried to submit my latest market report from my outside blog yesterday but don't think it went through as I never got my confirmation. I'll be back next week.

Joe I'm glad your post was featured. I hadn't heard of this until now. You will have an entry from me by next week. I liked the video explanation as well.

Joe,

great stuff. Thank you for the tips.

OCT

Thank you for helping me to expose my blog. It is much appreciated.

Joe thanks for sharing this and for the You Tube video instructions. I will try it soon.

Thanks Joe -- this is great information. I've bookmarked it so I can read it carefully and make it happen. I also appreciate the you tube instructions -- visuals helpful to me!

I can't wait to try this. What a great tip!

Terrific tip. Thanks for the inforamtion and the "how to."

Mike, you can do this yourself. Don't pay someone to do an easy, post-blog-writing activity....

OK I'm in! Now I have to do my research & homework...review the market reports etc. Thanks for the opportunity!

Thanks for this info - I had no idea there was a carnival for market reports. I just entered one of my latest for my outside blog.

Ann

My pleasure Ann. I'm glad you found it and I look forward to reading your blog post each week!

Thanks for the feedback on the video Carolyn, I hope it helps you join the carnival this week.

I'm glad Sara. The market report is where you do all the work. Submitting it to the carnival will only take a few minutes.

Thanks Kevin. Are we going to see some Tucson real estate market reports in the coming weeks?

Thank you for the feedback on the video Thavisak. I hope it helps you submit a market report this week!

Thank you so much for the feedback Alexsandra. I look forward to your article on the carnival!

Thanks Joetta, I can't wait to read about the Denver real estate market.

Hey Cindy, I have no idea why that happened. Hopefully it won't occur on the next attempt.

Thank you, I haven't heard of this before now. I will look into right away.

Joe, I have watched your Tallahassee blog for sometime and love it. I will be posting on blog carnival.

Joe thank you very much for sharing this here on Active Rain. You can definitely add me to the Carnival. I am adding my blog that I wrote last week on Washington DC Real Estate Market Report for September 2008 as well as upcoming blogs this week. Great post.

I just checked the past posts on Blog Carnival and think it is a valuable tool for consumers and a great opportunity for us realtors to report the latest market conditions in our areas. You will be seeing my report this week.

Thanks Cherimie, I would love to see a report from Beaufort.

Thanks Kay, that is very nice. I look forward to seeing your carnival submission.

Hey Deanne, I couldn't agree more. If we could get Rainers from around the country getting their reports posted in the Carnival, it would make for a great resource site.

Thanks Lanre, I can't wait to hear about Washington, DC real estate.

Thanks Joe!

A great idea. Both getting the back links and the information one can find in each of the local market reports.

Joe, You are one of the reasons why I love Active Rain. I had no idea this even existed! I'm off to check it out. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the information. I've never heard of this before but it sounds like a great tool. I'm going to give it a try!

You're welcome Thomas. I hope to see you at the Carnival!

Thanks Spencer. I hope you send us something on Raleigh.

Me too Elizabeth, you can learn so much from the AR community. I look forward to your Huntsville real estate market report.

I'm glad Yvette & Dennis. I think you'll find it much easier than it might appear.

Thanks Joe ... I will look at the Carnival right now! pippa

Great Pippa. We need more reports coming out of Texas!

Thank you for this generous gift.

Thanks Joe - Your list keeps growing and growing:)

Thanks for the information, we will start submitting articles today.

I'm glad you liked it Brien and I hope you'll be in the Carnival.

Thanks Bill. Didn't see your report this week??? :). I hope to see you on the next one.

Thanks Kevin and Monica. I don't think we have received a submittal yet from anyone in Montana so I look forward to seeing yours!

I've bookmarked your post thanks very much Joe - Steve Dalton told me about this ( submitting posts to Blog carnivals)last year and I did it a few timeswith one he submitted to... but then forgot :( about it...Consistancy is key!

Sincerely,

Grace

Hey Grace, I'm glad to see that you'll be back. We can definitely use some reports from Indiana.

Joe - I had never heard of Blog Carnival until reading your post. This is just another reason why Active Rain has been one of the best decisions I've made. Our members have so much to offer that I never would have learned by not being a member. I just submitted my first article on Blog Carnival. Excellent information and thank you for sharing!!

Thanks Kevin, I've learned the same way. Some great people tightening up the learning curve here on AR!

Joe ... I am a Realtor and broker .. busy with that and mostly not a techie. I am not quite sure what a BACKLINK actually is. Does that mean we send you the information about market update? You post it at CARNIVAL? Then somebody sees it? Harrison

Haven't even heard of this before I will check out thanks

Hey Harrison, great question. If you think of web sites and blogs as "people" or "part of your network of friends," you might start thinking about referring business back and forth. For example, I could put a link like this on my blog to refer readers to you for information on Irvine, California real estate. When I do this, you would call this a "backlink" for your blog. One of our goals is to generate as many backlinks to our blogs as we can in order to raise our value with google and to get traffic from those links. Does this make sense?

Hey Tatyana, I hope you send us some reports on the Denver market.

Thanks for the information. I will try this. THe more exposer the better right?

Absolutely Zane. Rack up the back links as fast as you can.

Thank you Joe for sharing. This probably is the easiest way of getting back links to anyone's blog.

I'm glad you've got it down James. I look forward to reading all about the Richmond market.

thanks Joe, very good information, most of us did not know, I am sure those links will come in handy with SEO's I appreciate your information and I am checking it out! Antonio

thanks Joe. I'll give it a shot with my next post!

OCT

Thanks Antonio, I look forward to your market report.

Hey Todd, I'd love to see a market report with a mortgage edge to it.

I'll check out your blog carnival. Sounds interesting. How does Google feel about it?

Hey Lee, that is the whole reason that we do the Carnival. Google likes sites with backlinks.

I just submitted an article; I must admit I am overwhelmed with where to submit things; my coach has me worried about farms so I'm trying to be very careful. What sold me on this one (aside from the outstanding post) is I recognize many of the names. So, we'll see. I appreciate the tip.

Thanks Cindy. Once you get comfortable with the submission process, you'll be able to do it in less than 5 minutes each week!

Thanks for the tip. I need all the help I can get.

I'm glad it helped Ron. I hope you'll consider joining the carnival with a Port Orange market report.

OCT

Great concept, and thanks for the heads up. You'll be getting a submission from me soon.

OCT

I look forward to seeing it Ryan. We have a big carnival this week, hopefully next week will be even bigger!

NOV

Hi Joe, Thank you for the interesting article. Maybe I don't understand the the blog carnival concept completely, but I see a couple red flags for why you might not want to do this. 1. What's the risk of being penalized by Google for duplicate content? 2. Do the backlinks even count? A lot of blog software now use the rel=nofollow tag attribute so the links don't help as far as Google is concerned. Do you know anyone that has done this for more than couple months? Did it help or did they feel the wrath of a google-slap? :-) Thanks, Alan

NOV

Thanks for the great questions Alan.

1. This is not duplicate content. You submit a link and a "remarks comment" to lure readers to check out your blog article.

2. Yes. Link backs from this carnival are "Do Follow" however, SEO is not your only goal. You're also trying to get traffic so back links from "no follow" do have some value.

3. Go to blogcarnival.com. These have been around for years and do very well.

NOV

Thanks for the clarification Joe.

When I originally read your post blogcarnival was having some issues so I wasn't able to see your pages. Now it all makes sense.

Before when I did a google search on the subject it sounded like some carnivals display copies of the original blog posts. Looks like you’re doing it the right way with only the teaser “remarks comment”

NOV

Joe - thanks for the tip. I've submitted one post to blog carnival. I can't wait to see how it works.

I think I read an article about this before and didn't quite understand it. I will have to re-visit this to see if I can get in on the action.

NOV

Thanks Alan. I hope you give us a Boston real estate market report this week!

I look forward to reading it, thanks Jackie.

I hope you do Troy. It is much easier than you might think!

NOV

We submitted two articles to the carnival over the past several weeks, and were still looking to be included in the fun. Thanks for the consideration :)

NOV

Your submission made it this time. I hope you see some results in traffic!
