Default Do you mean Pay-Per-Click?

If so, I have some first hand advice. It is better to learn how to optimize your webpage, rather than go for pay per click. Using keyword optimization and paying for an express inclusion will be more costly and helpful into learning how web rankings work. I am neither a PPC expert or a Web Optimization expert and we do use both methods, it is just that Real Estate is so general and search terms can become costly.

I'm in the real estate search engine optimization business, but I don't 100% agree with your statement. In some markets - especially large markets - it can be cost prohibitive to bid on primary KW's (i.e. your city + real estate).

However, in many of these same markets there are 30-100 other phrases where you can top the bidding for $.05 - $.50 per click on Google. On their own, these individual phrases don't yield a ton of traffic. But when you put them altogether they can bring in decent traffic.

The best part is that because these phrases are more highly focused (i.e. a specific development or gated community) they are more likely to bring in potential buyers rather than window shoppers.

I know this from experience. For some of our larger design/SEO accounts we actually eat the cost of PPC for 6 months until the site is fully indexed and bringing in SERP traffic to the site.

Default Ppc?

Hi HHI Gof Guy,
I could not agree with you more, you are right on target. But you are an expert and know these things already. For the average Golf Guy starting trying get his webpage out there, my suggestion (though not clear) is to understand how optimization works and that PPC is costly but can be effective using your method. This method is learned by trial and error followed by close monitoring of keywords. Keywords that are turned into leads, not just traffic.

I.E.: The key word: Virtual Home Tours

Gets lots of traffic, but this is traffic that is useless to us. These are generally people looking to view home tours, not order them.

All in all, my new suggestion for realtors - If totaly confused by the whole thing, hire an expert service such as the HHI Gulf Guy.

That is something I think we both can agree on.

Take care,

Let me know your URL, and time permitted maybe I can find you a niche phrase or two. No charge!
