I received an E-mail today from Zillow on how to show up higher in the search engines by doing a few simple steps. I noticed you can do the same types of things with your ActiveRain account. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) doesn't have to be hard. Just a few simple steps can take you a long way toward search engine domination, or at least contention :-)

you, too, can boost your Google search results.

Don't be scared - it's pretty easy.

Here are 3 tips:

1.   Post your listings on Zillow with good links to your
site- Zillow is one of very few sites where your listings actually improve your Google ranking. To enjoy this, make sure your listings on Zillow link to your Web site - preferably with links
to the exact listing pages on your site.

2.    Join the Zillow Professional Directory- When you create an active profile on Zillow, it will automatically load into our
 "Find a Pro" directory. Make sure the link to your Web site
from the Zillow Directory is accurate so your ranking on Google improves. Join the Directory

3.    Update and optimize your Zillow Profile - Complete or update the "About Me" section of your Zillow Profile. In your description, use keywords that you want to be recognized for
in Google and link those words to your Web site or blog. By
using links to your Web site within Zillow, your profile gains authority in the search engines. Update My Profile

Bottom line: The more active you are on Zillow - through your listings, profile, directory, or discussions - the better your Web site or blog performs. Learn more about how to ensure that your listings are helping you to rank in Google.
