    4. Off Site SEO - if I had the money I would hire Off Site SEO out. If I didn't have the money (which I don’t) I would focus on building relevant links to my site.

    Fast Forwarding Your Business with Instant Messaging
    Instant Messaging is rapidly becoming accepted in the business community as a viable communications tool and process - it's faster than e-mail, free on the client side, even a novice user can easily grasp the interface in just a few minutes and it enables remote workers and business partners to "talk" and share files and information effortlessly using the in-place infrastructure of the internet. Its mushrooming in popularity too - according
    If I were going to build a real estate website today starting from scratch. These are a few things I would focus on. Understanding what I know now about web design, SEO and Real Estate Websites.

    1. Domain name - This is tricky because if your only marketing will be Organic Search/ PPC you may want a keyword spam type domain name. i.e. www.YOURCITY_State_REAL_ESTATE.com or whatever. If you are going to advertise your website in your print advertising, business cards ect. You want something someone can see and remember. You can rank any site with time and effort but as far as I know keywords in the domain name are still a factor in all the engines so it’s just a little harder. The best solution to this problem is to just simply have 2 domain names. One for print and one for ranking. Have your print domain redirected to the keyword rich domain name and you get the best of both worlds.

    2. Website - I would focus on building (or having built) a SEO friendly site that was easy to add content/new pages to as well as having a blog installed. I would make sure the site looked professional of course, I believe that having quality photography and a clean design are the two best ways to get a professional site. I would have a very limited amount of outgoing links on my main page and NO BANNERS from directories.

    3. Lead Generation - I would build my site so it entices people to contact me. I would have a contact me page, a Auto Email from MLS page, free CMA page, and of course I would have my IDX search accessible and I wouldn't make people sign up prior to using it.(This is debated but I find forced contacts to be a waste of time others disagree and I see there point as well) The reason behind this is a site that doesn’t convert might as well not be ranked. If you have 1 million visitors and only 1 person contacts you would probably be better off building a site that 20 people visit you but 10 contact you. You want a site that does both, you want to both a rankable site and one that converts those visitors to leads.

    4. Off Site SEO - if I had the money I would hire Off Site SEO out. If I didn't have the money (which I don’t) I would focus on building relevant links to my site.

    Understanding The Pains of Setting up a Business, and Then Getting Past Them
    People who make money in business (online or off) have probably at some point in their professional career lost money in a business venture of some sort. That is just a reality of business and how it work. You have heard it before I know; "In order to make money you have to spend money". This is true too for Internet business and dropshipping businesses.Some people are under the impression that making money online with an online b

    Business Management Case Study; Disgruntled Terminated Franchisees and a Moral Mission
    Franchising executives need to be careful to hand terminated and disgruntled franchisees with special care because a franchisee who feels that they have been wronged or decides to act on revenge can cause a franchise system a whole lot of problems. Often they will start calling up State and Federal Regulatory Bodies and complaining about the company. Harassing current franchisees and bad mouthing the company in the industry are also extreme

    The Social Web for the Anti-Social
    You decided to get into e-commerce because the last thing you wanted was to have to deal with people. The woman upstairs won’t shut up about her hemorrhoids, the mailman smells and your brother owes you $10.00. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, you’ve been told traditional SEO is dead. You will now have to enter the realm of social search. It’s a bad day to be a misanthrope, you think to yourself. But I have some suggestions

    Choosing and Using Keywords Effectively
    Correctly choosing the keywords that your website wishes to compete on is the single most important aspect of a search engine optimization campaign. Proper keyword selection can provide your business with an extremely solid foundation to build upon.However, the opposite can be said for websites that make mistakes at this point. If your website dives straight into a competitive keyword selection there is a good chance of drowning in t

    4. Off Site SEO - if I had the money I would hire Off Site SEO out. If I didn't have the money (which I don’t) I would focus on building relevant links to my site. I would rotate between 10 or so different anchor texts but I would be heavy on my main 1 or 2 terms. These are the different types of links I would focus on getting. 1 Ways links, Recips, 3 Ways, Article, Directory (free and a select few paid), Forum Sigs, Offsite Blogs, Blog Comments, and Press Releases.

    I believe if you do (or hire someone to do) just these 4 easy steps you will rank well in the search engines. MSN will be almost instant, Yahoo 3-6 months, Google 8-12 months. During this time I would use PPC and print marketing to supplement my poor rankings and help drive people to my website.

    One more point, people need to realize that web leads are different then your normal office leads. Usually web leads are just starting there search. They need to be cultivated; you will need a good lead management system to keep track of these leads. I have found personally that my leads are usually 6-10 months out when they first contact me. I have obviously also received the I need a home NOW leads as well but they are very few and far between.

    Drip Email, Newsletters and PERSONAL PHONE calls are the best way I have found to keep in constant contact with my leads. I like to mix it up and contact my clients at least 1 time a week with one of these methods.
