How many in coming links do you have to your real estate website?
- These are not reciprocal links (They want a link to their site when they give you one of theirs).
- They are NOT part of a link farm or organized effort to aquire links.
- These are ONE WAY IN BOUND links to YOUR site from other relevent real estate sites and directories.
At last check today, my central Florida real restate website had over 820 in bound links coming to it.
- These links are from webmasters who see the local, fresh, updated real estate information on my site and see the website as a relevant site to link to.
- They did not ask to link to me and I do NOT ask that they do, that would slow down the process.
- I did not join a link farm to promote my website to anyone; they found my site in organic searches in YAHOO, GOOGLE and MSN and a several other related search engines.
What did I do to get all these in bound links?
- I optimized my websoite for 3 key phrases I target my clients for. I made the site specifically for THOSE types of clients I want to work with. My site is focused and relevant.
- I made sure there was and is all the time: relevant and updated local information abotu the local real estate market in central Florida.
- I update my website about once per month -- my blog updates every time I post in the Active Rain Real Estate Network, so that is covered. All in all, the site is updated several times per month and search engines LOVE that!
- THAT IS IT!
- Do You think this is hard to do?
- Can you do BETTER than I am doing?
- Does this cost anything except time and effort?
The answers are:
- NO
- YES!
- NO
