Well that's the most recent question asked of me lately?
I think this video answer it's well. understanding what item can and will help you in the search can be the difference of thousands of dollars for Realtor's.
I hope you enjoy it.

What about just using .net, .info, etc.......when your name is taken in .com. For each of my listings I buy a domain name to link to it's visual tour , i.e. www.MyrtleGroveHome.Info I don't mind using .info. Call me out of the loop, but, I've never heard of the "hyphen" hype! Tina :)
I'm glad it's never been a big deal, some people get caught up with things that don't have any real impact to their business.
Owning a specific domain for a virtual tour seems a little excessive unless you have strategy to drive traffic to the domain. Do you produce postcards for it and send it around the neighborhood? Create specific adword campaigns around the domain?
I'd love to hear what you do with the address specific domain to drive traffic a potential buyers once you have it.
We create listing specific sites and turn them over to the buyers with a little CMS that they can upload pictures to etc ( "for insurance documenting and personal or familly use" ) ...
It's a neat factor and keeps the buyers in touch with the listing agent (usually want some change or other help - and the agent is usually branded in there also (site sponsored by agent xyz)
It's also a really good sales closer for getting a listing over another agent who is less creative in terms of how they'll list it.
Tom,
Great videos - helpful - informative - visual - good content - good subject - inviting - unique - timely.
A couple questions. I had asked previously about how to do the video, and you graciously responded that you use Camtasia. but you hinted that you might put some instructions in a blog post. I would really love that.
Also, in the search results displayed in your video you have more information displayed than is showed in my searh results.
How can I change the search engine settings to display the SEO data that you were able to see and evaluate.
With regard to multiple domain names - I purchased a more specific location relevant name and pointed to another page in the site. I have not market that page as intended yet, but my plans are to do so.
It should work if the target page has content and relevant keywords, right?
Thanks,
Richard
Hi Richard, I'll get the video posted soon about how I create videos.
I have tutorial on my site about how I get all the extra info in my search results.

Well, yes it should work. I would use offline marketing for the new domain. Any online marketing you do like link building shoudl focus on the actual page not the new domain. that way you get inbound links to a deep page in your site, make sure the title tag and text is relevant.
Great videos - helpful - informative - visual - good content - good subject - inviting - unique - timely.
Tom,
You would think that with all those hyphens placed in my previous comment that you would have at least made mention of how well I am learning from your posts. :)
Thanks for the info, I look forward to the video about camtasia. It is a neat podcast tool. And podcasting is on the list for my soon to learn internet skills.
About the extra SEO evaluation information, I do not know how I missed that post.
It only works with firefox? I have used firefox before because it worked better with some foreign language fonts (I play with greek and hebrew a little.) I have just now installed it. One point for those who may want to have this SEO tool - some software (my Encompass software for one) does not work well with other browsers. You might want to be careful not to install firefox as the default browser.
Thanks,
Richard
I see why I missed the post. It was not on AR??
What a tool!!! Wow.
Evidently google does not share links? can it be expected that google would show similar links. I actually think my site shows close to the same links on Analytics as shows on this tool.
Just a note to everyone who does this, Foxfire requests that the tool only be used when you are researching, and to turn it off when using the browser for normal searches.
I notice that the tool lists BOTW, alexa, Yahoo directories, dmoz, etc - does that mean these link directories are OK.
I have avoided these because of concerns over link farms. This gives a test platform to see how these link directories actually perform.
Do you set all the categories to automatic, or do you check manually each category.
This is really amazing. Thanks,
Richard
