Posted on 4-21-2008 at 12:12
How many times have you wished you knew the secret to attracting more visitors to your Real Estate Site? Do you yearn to know how to make your site vault to the top of the most popular search engines? 

If so, you really need to take a few minutes to peruse my tested and proven technique which, if adhered to, will make your Real Estate Site one of the most popular go-to neighborhoods in cyberspace.  

Simply by implementing this little known technique, you can kick back and watch your statistic counter go from 200 to 200,000 in just a couple of weeks. And as an added bonus, the knowledge you are about to receive won’t cost you a penny.

The following steps will guarantee to improve search engine rankings, expose your Real Estate Site to additional traffic and can, potentially, even add to your income stream. Try this technique and you’ll find that with the commitment of a little time, effort and organization your sites’ rankings will show substantial improvement: 

1.         The first step is to search for at least ten popular, free blog websites.  Those related to your niche market are the best bet.  Some of the ones you may want to check out are: blogger.com, wordpress.com, livejournal.com, squarespace.com, eagent.com, real-estate-blogs.com, houseblogger.typepad.com, realestateweblog.org, find-a-real-estate-agent.net, activerain.com, and condo.com to name just a few. Conversely, you can do a web search on your own and choose from the thousands of free on-line sites dedicated to Real Estate Blogs.

2.         Record each website in a journal.  Make sure you record the password you used to sign into the blog and the URL to your personal blog from each individual site.  You should include important keywords in the blog URL (for example – if you operate a real estate company out of Las Vegas your blog URL might be …thenameyouchoose/las-vegas-real-estate-sales). You should create similar records for each of the sites you have chosen.  Keep these records in a word processing file such as MS Word or Notepad so you can easily copy and paste them when necessary.

3.         Next, create ten 500 to 1000 keyword-rich articles related to your chosen blog URL (e.g.: Las Vegas Real Estate).  A good rule of thumb is to have one keyword per each 100 words in your articles.  To simplify things, these instructions are based on your article being 500 words, with the chosen keyword mentioned at least 5 times.

4.         Now, log-in to the first blog account you created and paste one of the articles in that blog. Be sure to create links back to your website on at least half of the chosen keywords and links back to the URL of one of the free blog accounts you set up as outlined in step one with at least 2 of the remaining selected keywords.

5.         Repeat this process on each of the free blog sites using a different article each time. Then, go onto your own website where you will create one link to one of the blogs using the keyword of your choice.  It is only necessary to create 1 link from your site as the search bots will follow that link, which will bring them to the first blog where they will then follow that link to the blog you previously linked there and move onward from there.

6.         Next, go to feedburner.com where you can submit the RSS URL’s one at a time in feedburner.  After you have submitted all your chosen sites you should click onto pingoat.com where you can submit the URL from your blog sites.  It really isn’t necessary to submit the RSS URL, however should you decide to do so, you can also add the RSS URL on pingoat; however, you have to select that option from a drop-down menu.

7.         Finally, sit back and monitor either the stats program provided by your site host or you can do your monitoring through Google Analytics. It may take anywhere from one month to six weeks for the search engines to rank your site, but once they begin zipping from one of your created links to another, be prepared to be totally amazed.  Your site will achieve major rankings because the major search engines consider top blog sites to be authority web sites.

There really is no reason for you to stop there.  Continue your campaign on as many blog sites as you like.  The results are sure to be awesome and you will have to agree that this traffic generation method is one sure way to promote traffic to your site.   

As an added bonus, by utilizing the above traffic generation system, you can also supplement your income stream.  By registering with Google’s Adsense program, where you can integrate ads into any or all the free blogs you’ve signed up with you may be able to pick up a little extra coin for your efforts.

As with any other internet marketing technique, results are indicative of the amount of effort put into promotion and development of a good idea.  This method of traffic generation may initially take a little planning and development on your part, but it is well worth the time and effort.  

Developing a niche market over the Internet is only the first step to success.  Savvy marketers know that in order to remain competitive in such a volatile and versatile market they must be willing to embrace any and all avenues designed to augment their chances of overwhelming success.

Top 10 reasons to invest in preconstruction real estate

Real estate especially residential real estate make a great investment one that provides excellent returns on income and can provide continuous income year after year. There are a number of ways to get into investing in real estate but Preconstruction Real Estate is one of the fastest growing with some of the fastest and highest returns.

There are any number of reasons why investing in Preconstruction Real Estate is something to seriously consider. Preconstruction condominiums are some of the hottest pieces of preconstruction real estate on the market today. You can find them just about anywhere, Miami, Las Vegas and more recently Myrtle Beach. All of these locations and more are experiencing a preconstruction real estate increase do to the higher demand for housing in these areas. Myrtle Beach is one of the newest hot spots on the market and so prices there are some of the lowest when it come to preconstruction real estate.

The first reason why preconstruction real estate is something to consider as a smart way of investing is lower initial prices. Preconstruction Real Estate usually has a lower initial value than what the condominiums or property will be worth after it has finished. This allows you to place yourself in a position to make a considerable return on your investment. Depending on the terms of the contract you may have to hold on to the property for a while after it is built however, by renting that property, you not only gain a monthly income off your investment. At the end of the term if you sell the market usually will have shown some appreciation meaning you can earn additional amounts from the sale.

Higher returns – Because of the lower prices and the increasing demand for housing means that your return could be higher than if you purchased and invested in post construction real estate

Getting in on the ground floor – If you are going to invest than the best time to do it is at the beginning. That is usually when the best deals are offered and you usually end up with a greater opportunity at a much lower price.

Faster returns – The great demand for condos in prime locations means that you don’t have to wait nearly as long to see a return on your investment than if you purchased a home or property post construction. It is usually easier to rent or sell a never lived in condominium or home that it is to sell one that is older. At least if you are looking to make a solid and decent return on your investment.

Instant Equity – One of the best benefits of getting into preconstruction real estate is that you get the opportunity of instant equity. This means you do not have to wait a year or two for your investment to show a return on equity it does it right away from the time you start and sign the deal.

Incentives – There are a number of incentives that can usually be had in the Preconstruction Real Estate investment market. Often times a developer will offer extras in order to keep investors or to gain the investors initially. These incentives can greatly increase the value of the real estate that you are looking to invest in. Some incentives may include upgrades on counter tops, appliances or furnishings. All of these incentives can add to the value of the property and in an area like Myrtle Beach can do a lot to attract new customers and homeowners.

Leverage – Preconstruction Real Estate especially beach and ocean front offers you control over something with significantly more value than what you initially put in. The contract may only ask for perhaps an initial total of 10,000 but it is worth 270,000 and through the contract, you hold the rights to the property because of the amount you placed in escrow.

Appreciation potential – Preconstruction real estate gives you the opportunity to enjoy market appreciation while the property is being built as well as after it has been constructed.

Market Viability – There are a large number of people getting ready to retire or who are looking to retire and condos are perfect for this group. They are smaller, easy to maintain and are located in some of the best areas in the United States. Making investing in these real estate ventures a smart investment move.

Contractual incentives – While you might get upgrades to your investment on the inside there are another type of incentives that can really be of benefit. For example, having taxes paid on your investment for a set number of years. These are usually separate from cosmetic incentives but can increase the profit you see from your investment.

Investment possibilities include a much as a forty percent profit within 20 months. Let us look at a scenario to see how 250,000 investments can really turn a profit. The developer asks for 250,000 this is due on completion of the project. You place about 10,000 or so in escrow. It is best to place all initial investments in escrow in order to safeguard against the project not being completed. While the project is being built, it appreciates to be worth 270,000 during the twelve months it takes to complete. Once it is completed you rent the place, thereby earning a monthly income and the market appreciates again so that in another 12 months the property is not worth 300,000 or more. If you sell the property, not only do you earn the profit from renting for a year, but you also gain 50,000 on top of the initial investment. If closing costs, and taxes or other fees are included in, the contract from the developer and not your responsibility to pay you could add even more on to your profit.

This is just a basic scenario real estate is an ever-changing market however; preconstruction condos are some of the hottest items on the market and Myrtle Beach one of the hottest locations. This makes your investment in property there a wise, decision all the benefits at half the cost of other locations.

What is Link Juice?

Posted on 2-7-2008 at 12:16 in Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Marketing Term Link Juice


Many of my clients have heard this term and constantly ask, what the heck is Link Juice? So, I decided to make a post here to explain the term a bit better. I have also included some good information on link building as well.. I hope this helps to paint a better picture! If you find this information helpful, please take a moment to leave a comment. I enjoy helping people and like to know that my efforts are appreciated.

What is Link Juice

The world of the Internet is essentially made up of websites. These websites refer to all kind of topics, no matter what kind of information you want you will get it from the Internet. Information is power and the Internet is the vessel that you can use to your advantage in getting this power. However, even in the world of the Internet not every website has the same privilege and status as others.

Let us consider an example to better understand the working of the Internet and how different websites are ranked. Imagine the Internet as an army. In the army there are thousands of personnel but not everyone have the same status. There are Captains, Majors, Colonels and Generals. All of these have been promoted to different ranks according to the work they have performed over the time period of their service. The Generals are the oldest and the most experienced of them all and thus enjoy the highest level of privileges. Also due to their vast experience everyone turns towards them for knowledge.

Same is the case with websites found over the Internet. The websites are ranked according to different criteria. There are those that have been recently launched and then there are those that are one of the oldest websites. There are those that are popular and thus enjoy lots of traffic and on the other hand are those that have little or almost no traffic at all. All of these factors combine together to rank a website.

There is another important factor over the Internet concerning the ranking of websites and it is the search engines. There are hundreds of search engines working on the Internet. The most interesting thing is that not all of these have the same criteria to ranking a website. It is only for this reason that different search engines rank the same website differently. If a website is amongst the top 10 websites according to one search engine then it is not necessary that it will have the same ranking on other search engine, it is even more likely that it might not even be amongst the top 100 websites according to the second website. If you take a closer look on the ranking system (algorithm) of a search engine you will realize that the top websites mostly fall under one of the following categories:
•    Oldest websites
•    Websites with high traffic
•    Websites that are well known
•    Websites that link to and from other old, high traffic, and well known websites.

When a webmaster launches a website one of his greatest wishes is to get his website amongst the top websites of the Internet. However, this is not an easy task since they usually need to wait for a long time before they get this desire fulfilled. Among other things one of the main tasks of a webmaster is to make his or her website popular over the Internet. He can use different techniques to promote his website like linking it to other more popular websites. Once the word gets out about the website and the advantages associated with it then the traffic will start to increase and the website will begin receiving better rankings across the Internet. Keep in mind that not all links are useful to a website. It is never a good idea to go and link a website to every website you see, it would be better to only create links with those websites that are related to the website and will target only those that are really interested in the website and it’s content.

This is where “Link Juice” comes in the game. In reality, “Link Juice” refers to the quality of links that a website has to it and the role it plays in getting better ranking for the website. There are different tools at work here which include page ranks, link votes, backlinks, inbound links and outbound links. If you manage to get the right “Link Juice” then you will earn the respect of different search engines only for the reason that other good and quality websites link to your websites. This will definitely have a positive effect on your website and its ranking. Here are the key features that you must consider to ensure that the website you are linking to has a positive effect on the ranking of your website:

•    Make sure the content of the page or the website you are linking to is also relevant to your website. Let’s say your website is related to skin care and you obtain a link from a website or a webpage whose content is about cars, this will be less effective for your website then having a positive effect on your website. Those who will visit your website from the car page might think your website also has something related to automobiles but they end up seeing skin care related content and will leave right away.

•    Make sure that the content of the links are relevant to your site. The content of the link will give a fair idea to the public what your website is about. If your website is related to child problems then make sure that the content of the link indicates this fact as well.

•    It is very important that the website linking to your site does not have an overload of other links out. The less amount of link the website has pointing out the better it is for the ranking of your website.

If a webmaster is able to achieve the above stated points then he has achieved quality “Link Juice” i.e. their websites have quality web content, quality backlinks, better page ranks and above all better link votes then other websites. However, the world of the Internet is full of competition, if you have achieved your goals now it does not mean that you should sit back and relax. You should take further steps to ensure that you stay at the top. Use your creativity and continue to generate those quality inbound links and hopefully one day your web site will obtain “Authority Status”

Thanks,
