How long does it take?

So, I just put my site online and I was wondering how long it takes for the various engines to crawl your site and add you to their listings?

Also, how do you guys go about getting people to link to your blog. I already comment and link to other sites, and my content is decent. What should I do here?

How long depends on what sites are linking to you. With a quality link or two you can get spidered in a day, but that doesn't mean you will rank. A new site takes time to get rankings, but once you are established you can add a new page and get ranking pretty quick for new terms.

Alright...so the key is to get linked to by bigger, better sites. Sounds like a piece of cake....

I would also revise the keywords on your homepage and corresponding interior content pages. Right now you have the same keywords on every page and that is not going to help with the search engines. They are also fairly vague so they not really helping you at all. If someone is looking to buy a home in your area, what would they enter as a search term or phrase in a search engine? That is what your keywords should focus on. You should target terms such as "Florida Real Estate" "Brandon Real Estate" "Brandon Florida Real Estate" and "Apollo Beach Real Estate."

Good points, but don't bother with "state real estate" as you don't serve teh whole state. Just go after your local market, the more niche you can make it he easier it is to rank.

New sites will often take about 6 to 8 months to rank on google, msn and yahoo is a little different. But I agree with everyone else in the fact that you need more links in order get your site crawled faster.

Many sites do very well quickly with MSN. The trick is getting your site ranked well with Google. Everytime we launch a new site, we are usually #1 or #2 on MSN for our main search terms, which our clients think is wonderful but I know it doesnt mean as much as being in the top 10 of Google.
