About Me:
I've been working with real estate agents and small businesses since 2003, designing small custom websites, and specializing in search engine optimization. My business website, Myrtle Beach Web Design describes how I work and the things that are important to making a website rank in Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
I try to share my knowledge on Active Rain as much as possible, and hope that some of my tutorial blogs about SEO and Social Media Marketing will help someone. If anyone has a request for an article or topic, please let me know and I'll try my best to put as many do-it-yourself tips on the blog as possible. I enjoy teaching, and wish I could do that more than the actual "doing" sometimes. :-)
I've worked with several Myrtle Beach real estate companies in the last 5-6 years, and as it ends up, they are now all affiliated and are partners. The first site I did, Condolux.net is legendary in the area, as it ranks in the top 3 for over 100 of the most important keyword phrases. I've built or SEO'd about 10 MB business sites in all, and when it comes to condos in Myrtle Beach, two or three of my sites are always on the first page of the search results. Between all of my websites and blogs, and all of my customers' sites, we have around THIRTY thriving websites about Myrtle Beach. There are Myrtle Beach vacation rentals sites, golf sites, North Myrtle Beach Real Estate and Myrtle Beach Pet Friendly Condos. Some of the recent sites are my Myrtle Beach Allstate insurance agent's site, and a brand new one for C21 The Harrelson Group with Myrtle Beach Real Estate, Albuquerque Real Estate; Myrtle Beach Tree Services and a Myrtle Beach Pool Contractor, Arnold's Pools.
Aside from this AR blog, I have a Myrtle Beach Real Estate blog and a generic Real Estate Blog. My most recent projects in the works include a great new website for Greenwood SC Real Estate and a brand new one for Des Moines Real Estate.
SEO has changed so much in the last few years. It's gotten harder and harder to rank a new site, and almost impossible to rank one without an enormous amount of original, well written, and useful content. I find myself becoming more of a website copywriter than anything. Success comes from having a customer that knows his business and is willing to put some of his own effort into helping to build the very best site for the type of business he's in. This is especially true for Realtors and the community they work for. If they can't tell me why I would want to live there, they probably won't be successful in selling it to a potential customer, either.
I've recently started doing SEO content building based on an IDX product with a company called Real Geeks and can't say anything but but good about their system. If this continues to show the results I'm seeing so far (C21 The Harrelson Group, Albuquerque, and Greenwood) I may use them exclusively. The internet is truly an amazing thing!
One of my personal websites highlights Oceanfront Real Estate, called OceanfrontInvestments.com. This site produces leads for "oceanfront property" everywhere. All it takes is building a page for the city or area. Please email me at Jan at MyrtleBeachWebDesign.com and let me know of your interests in having your own page on this website! I'd really like to get some advertisers. I will also consider selling the site.
My clients almost always become long-lasting friendships, and I don't give up until a site ranks. That's the way I like to do business, and the main reason my business has done so well. Nothing beats a network of realtors helping each other, conferring together, sharing knowledge and helping to make us all have better websites and more sales!
You can find me on Facebook and LinkedIn as well. Let's hook up!
