Thread: Search Engine Optimization Project

I am working on a search engine optimization project and looking for other real estate sites that have an integrated MLS or over 100 listings (listing pages must be readable by search engines). Anyone meeting these criteria and interested in improving the SEO of their site, email or PM me.

Note: If you contact me please identify your site by url.

frobn, by integrated MLS, did you mean an IDX solution?

Yes, I am referring to either a non-frame IDX solution or a site with 100 or more listings.

frobn...I must say you have my attention...

I am still looking at alternatives to the dead "let's swap links" reciprocal approach. I have a lot more information now that broadwaykeys.com appears to be out of the sandbox with excellent initial positioning on many secondary key words. I also have a new hypothesis that "on a well organized real estate site relevant local links are as important or more important than relevant real estate links." See my post: Weird Google Behavior

Frobn,

Are you talking about a page like this?

Sarasota Condos

These listing are intergrated into my website.

Sounds interesting - keep us posted, guys

Your listing page is in an iframe that comes from a third party. My original idea was to incorporate external links from the listing view page that originate on the web site, however, I am no longer pursing that track as SEs may have some difficulties with it.

If you are referring to turning listings from your local MLS into static pages we already have this in the works and it is just about finished. The programmer is in China right now and should be back in about a week to start to run test on this and work out a few bugs. Once I launch this I will come back and post a link.

This could be powerful for the consumer and the SEs and have huge benefits for IBLs

For the record, I've edited the url in your post to get to the right page of this forum. Sorry about the inconvenience, but since we've moved to realestateforum.com, the old urls lead to a catch-all page and specific pages have to get re-identified by replacing http://www.national-real-estate-dire...-estate-forum/ with http://www.realestateforum.com

I can't wait to see some of what you guys are talking about in here in action.

Actually see the functionality, the look, and then test it with the search engines to find out what we can expect. It sounds very interesting and has my full attention.

Please let me know (you can PM me too) if you have some examples to show me.

Everything will be handled confidentially
