web placement: Atlanta Best Homes - YouTube Real Estate Videos! - 01/04/10 12:48 PM
At the end of last year I finally made the executive decision to go ahead and use video for our listings on our Atlanta Best Homes real estate website. There were several reasons that brought about this decision.  The first is that the search engines these days are anorexic for video and graphics.  YouTube Videos are very indexable in the search engines.  Embedded Videos are a smart way to improve your SEO, web visibility and placement.  Perhaps that higher position could help with one more sale or you could demonstrate your abilities on a listing presentation while trying to secure a desired listing.

web placement: Real Estate Link Building, Blogging, Web Placement and SEO! What Works best? - 05/04/09 01:59 PM
Many of you may have realized I am not posting as many Blogs as I once did.  I have not given up on Blogging by any means, but I am re-evaluating my efforts with some research.  I recently have gone back to basics and looked at Search Engine Optimization SEO, and web placement and have drawn some conclusions from the results.  The first is that I get better permanent placement in a very short amount of time from old fashioned link building rather than Blogging.  In my humble opinion nothing beats anchor text...titles and descriptions for obtaining the desired results.  The drawback … (32 comments)

web placement: Is Your Site Google Road Kill? - Google Everflux - 04/03/08 03:41 PM
For the past several months I noticed my main site jumping in position on Google!  It can really drive you nuts especially when your site has held a very high web position for years!  I've always been on the top of page 1 which is a great thing since over 85% of our business comes directly from the web.  Recently Page 1 of our site Atlanta Best Homes has disappeared from page one of a Google search!  No matter what it disappears, comes back and changes again!  I started asking others that are great on SEO and SEP, and they also started … (54 comments)

web placement: Can't Find Your Website? It's Google Dance Time Again! - 03/19/07 01:40 PM
Can't find your website when searching your keywords on Google?  Don't fret!  You are not alone!  When searching for my Atlanta real estate site www.atlantabesthomes.com the other day, I could not find it!
If you noticed your web position placement moving a lot in the last few days, it seems like it is that time again. It is Google Dance Time.  This is a time when Google spiders reevaluate webs, content and web placement.  It keeps the Google Search engine clean of cluttered span sites and garbage.  Unfortunately for those of us that rely on the websites for our incomes all we … (119 comments)

web placement: Real Estate Web Placement - Plan for Success - Knowledge is Key! - 01/29/07 02:50 AM
Loads of agents e-mail me everyday asking how to get on top of the search engines so they can be successful in real estate. That is a tricky question, because you would have to assume the person asking first understands the nature of real estate, and sales. First of all placement or SEO that gets you on page 1 or 2 does not make anyone a success in real estate.  No more than getting immense leads from a great marketing campaign. First a plan It takes the ability to recognize hot and colds leads first, and then the ability to sort them, and close the hot ones!  Nurture the … (44 comments)

web placement: Real estate websites. What works, what doesn't...some observations. - 01/22/07 12:18 PM
I find the number one thing that makes a real estate website successful is that it has to be found easily on the search engines with consumer terms.  I prefer to use terms like "Atlanta Homes For Sale!" rather than "Atlanta Real Estate." I am more concerned that a consumer find our site by looking for Atlanta SAT Scores on a Google search and showing up on page 1.  Not industry terms.  If a site cannot be found by the consumer there are dire cosequenses for the agent! It is like not having a real estate website at all, and that is like the athiest at … (2 comments)
