Default Real Estate and SEO

I currently am NOT taking on any more SEO Clients so this is NOT an ad.

I just wanted to mention to our REALTOR® members that it is always good to use a little common sense when reading all these SEO advertisements about “Guaranteed Placement” in the Search Engines.

First of all, no SEO company can guaranty placement. Search Engines are fluid and change constantly.

The second thing to remember is that top rankings in a hot real estate market can mean a tremendous amount of business, so why would an SEO company only charge a couple hundred dollars to get you to the top of the Seach Engines?

SEO takes a tremendous amount of knowledge, work and time to break into a competitive market.

There are short cuts that work on some SEs for a short period of time. These short cuts (often called “Black Hat SEO”) can get your site permanently banned from the Search Engines. Generally SEO companies that use these “Black Hat SEO” tactics will charge a premium, and when your site gets banned they simply find another REALTOR® to fill their coffers.

Unfortunately there are no short cuts in SEO and it isn’t cheap. Just remember that if it cost little, it is probably worth very little.

Plan your website like you business… for the long haul. Not short term.

There are plenty of reputable SEO companies out there that will provide a good service for a fair price.

Just my 2˘ worth.
