OK - for months now I have been speaking of the benefits of mini-article link exchanges and how the next logical step is for search engines to de-value standard link exchanges. Now I have finally done something about it.

RealEstateLinkHQ.com offers you the chance to submit your mini-article and build content based link exchanges for your web site.

Registration is open to everyone. However, not all sites will be accepted into the program. The goal is to limit membership to high quality, professional appearance, content rich web sites only. Read through the qualification process for more info.

If your site is accepted, you will receive notification and instructions on how to set up the navigation structure of the mini-article pages. We do not supply any code or scripts to set up your pages. There are no sneaky tricks or black hat tactics involved - just solid web structure.

Once you have set up the proper navigation structure you will complete a quick online form to let us know that your site needs to go through final tech inspection. Once you pass inspection you will be given a User ID and Password to access the Member's section of the site. The Member's section contains user profiles, mini articles, and a private forum.

Right now there is no charge for this service. Once we show a track record of results that will probably change. We anticipate becoming an annual fee service (somewhere between $19.95 and $29.95 per year) in 6-12 months.

BTW, most of us know that there is a growing trend to post articles on article submission web sites. But there is a big problem with that when submitting real estate articles.

First off, while most search engines manage to spider most of the articles, have you noticed that those pages rarely - if ever - have any Google PageRank? To me, that means that the links from these pages are not carrying much weight in the algorithm process.

Second, who is going to re-print a real estate article? Most of the articles cover the same topics of buying and selling tips, financing tips, etc. If you write an article about real estate in your local community I doubt a competing agent is going to publish that article - with your name and link - on their web site.

Yes - there is a 50/50 chance that this site will be a pay service next year. But that is only if maintaining this site starts takes enough of my time that I am hard pressed to add new clients to our portfolio.

Frankly, I'm tired and frustrated looking for quality links. The main purpose of this site is to develop quality content exchange partners that WE ALL can use.

Content based links are the wave of the future for SEO. It would be nice to have a central hub to draw from rather than submitting hundreds of requests only to get a few dozen links.

Great concept, Shawn. I'll be submitting for sure. I just have my referral pages up and ready for action now (I think I mentioned this some time ago and finally got a chance to work on it).

Great! I'm out of town for a few days, but I will catch up on the registrations early next week. Pass the word along and get others to sign up.

It's a great way for content driven, one-way links to your web site.

Hey guys - sorry I have been out of the loop for a while now. At this moment I do not have the time to implement this program. I have a boatload of custom sites to finish and SEO in the next few months, plus some new SEO only accounts. Of course, I still have my long time customers to support with their sites and print media campaigns.

I apologize for dropping the ball on this, but since it is not a revenue generating web site I need to put it on the back burner for a while. I hope to revive it in the early part of the summer. This will also allow me to implement this program with my new and existing clients.

Sorry for the delays.
