Specializing in real estate marketing, SEO, content writing, social media marketing, and blogging. I can do or train!

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 my best sites are for C21 The Harrelson Group with Myrtle Beach Real Estate, and Albuquerque Real Estate  for Tim Fish. 

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 mostly SEO content building and leaving all the months and months of work up to the website owner. I can't charge enough for the amount of work you have to do to make a site rank from the bottom up. It's to the point now that the owner either has to buckle down and work on his website and blogs, or use pay per click.  I suspect Google means for it to be that way, too... If you are looking for an SEO consultation or search engine optimized content writing, feel free to contact me. I have a ton of references if you care to call them.

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, Linked in, and Google+  

For those who might wonder, I'm a lifelong Monkees and Davy Jones fan. My photo is a cherished one of Davy and I from 2006.  He was a wonderful, beautiful man, and I will miss him always.
