Whether or not video helps is a question often asked by many online marketers. The real question is whether or not real estate professionals truly know how to optimize their videos that will drive the traffic they desire.
“The simple answer is yes they can but, most don’t know how to optimize their video channels when it is really easy to do! Most real estate professional aren’t doing enough, if anyting, to optimize their videos.” says Dennis Duncan, co-owner of Getting Started as a Real Estate Agent dot com. “The problem is that most RE professionals spend an immense amount of time creating content but fail to properly title and tag their videos with their keywords. And, even if they do know and understand this concept they don’t ‘ping’ it out to the search engines or attempt to drive traffic to the video by article marketing and back linking to the content” In the new 2.0 web economy their has never been a more exciting time to be online.
More and more of our daily activities are moving online in a Star Trek type of fashion. “Video appeals to our senses on three levels; audibly, visually and text accompaniment. Video moves us beyond the traditional articles where we have to sit down in front of a computer and read an article. More and more are finding it more conducive to their schedules to search on YouTube and find content or attend a webinar and play these video or live telecasts in the background while they are doing their work or day to day activities at home. Most can just log in to a webinar or find a video, push play and when they hear something piques their interest they just step back in front of the computer and see what the subject is talking about.” Len and his partner, Dennis Duncan - a SEO strategist and marketing strategist, a HUD Local Listing Broker in California & Supreme Court Mediator in Nevada - have partnered up to bring their experience and knowledge together to create a webinar curriculum that will teach anyone in the real estate profession to enhance their online presence by creating their FREE Realtor Internet Marketing Boot Camp (FRIMBC).

Why is it that most real estate industry professionals have horrible websites? “The answer is simple: most agents don’t take the time to set their site up correctly or don’t want to spend the money on hiring a professional to do it for them. Most just think they need to set something up and get it out there to “the world”. This is a very bad decision and we see it every day. We want to show people just how easy it can be to set up a website for your real estate related business on line.”
“Most in the industry spend less on their website than they do on their wardrobe” says Len Dietrich, co-owner of Getting Started as a Real Estate Agent. “This is a huge mistake right out of the gate. Now, we aren’t saying you have to spend a lot of money to get a great looking site we are just saying you either spend “some money” hiring someone or you spend some time building it yourself. Most people realize once it is set up the correct way then there are just a few tweeks you need to do on a daily basis to keep your content current and relevant; there is little upkeep. But, most don’t realize just how easy it is.

Why Real Estate Agents Really Prefer Webinars Over Seminars “With an increasing workload, less time for their families and shrinking market share per agent, real estate agents have less and less time to spend attending seminars or other informative conferences. While many prefer the in-person meetings and meet and greets an increasing number of these agents are finding their time is better spent learning new skills by attending a webinar from their desktop while at work or home. It just makes sense for us to provide this service weekly to meet every realtors schedule.” says Len Dietrich of http://www.GettingStartedAsARealEstateAgent.com.

Most agents don’t know how to market themselves and their properties on line. They are realtors, not marketers or SEO strategists. Not everyone can be a listing agent and have listings handed to them. So they need to know how to generate leads on their own” Len says. “It is getting very difficult to effectively market online if you don’t know what you are doing” says Duncan. “What we wanted to do is take the mystery out of the internet marketing/SEO strategies and give everyone in the real estate industry- brokers, agents, escrow companies, title companies, lenders, mortgage brokers, home inspectors, painters, home stagers,etc., the best training available and, that is the most convenient. We will offer them 2-3 times a week at different times of the day that a participant can choose according to their own schedule. We’ll also keep the total time to under 1 hour in length so that anyone attending can actually watch them at their desktop on their lunch hour, on their mobile device or from the comfort of their home. And, no fancy up-sales or hidden agendas. 100% content showing everyone the tools we use to get our sites ranked, drive traffic, drive leads and make more money in this very difficult real estate economy.”

Did the Panda Update Effect Article Marketing? Whether or not Google’s Panda update effected article marketing and website traffic is a question often asked by many online marketers. The real question isn’t if it effected article marketing but more of if it effected those creating poor content and passing it off as legit marketing. “Most content creators don’t understand the importance of writing unique content. And, frankly, most people don’t enjoy writing and ever more don’t have the time to write” says Len Dietrich of Getting Started as a Real Estate Agent dot com. “Our opinion is that most newbies to online marketing will get their sites slapped by Google for loading their website up with content copied from other resources. The fact is that unique content will rarely get slapped down by Google. Those gaming the system were penalized for creating bogus content and uploading to content farms. This will work temporarily but it gives many people false hopes and little genuine traffic. Since the Panda update it has never been more important to create and properly syndicate content online. The real issue is; do people really know how to strategically do it?”

In today’s real estate market no longer does an agent have to think about marketing only in his or her local market. The internet has now created a world with no boundaries. But, successfully navigating this is becoming increasingly more difficult if you don’t know what you are doing. Below are some tips and strategies that will help you get started.
1. Identify your niche market: Keyword research is the cornerstone to effectively gaining traction in your market. For me I chose to create websites specifically focused on Golf Homes in Southern California. I then Googled golf homes in Southern California and found 2 dozen golf courses in my region. Then I would enter those golf course names in to Market Samurai and find ones that drove 20-80 unique searches a day that had relatively low competition that would be easy to rank for.
2. After I identified those courses that drive some traffic I then research and write an article on that golf course. Within the content I highlight some of the features of the course. I have even called golf courses and spoke with their media directors and “interviewed” them a bit using the content from our conversation as content for my article.
3. Create a free blog. Write one article for that site about this particular golf course and the homes surrounding the course that includes your keywords with your main domain site that you are trying to get ranked in the search engines as being embedded as the links for those keywords.
4. I then would put those articles in my article submitter, create my signature line with a link directing back to the blog and have it auto submit 5-10 articles a day to directories and other websites looking for unique content for the golf niche. After about one to two months I will start to see some movement to the top 2-5 pages of Google depending on the number of daily submissions you choose. Ultimately, the blog you have set up will pass the “link juice” of your embedded links along to your authoritative website letting Google know what your main domain is an important site.
5. Create my Wordpress page and title it “My Domain dot Com/ the golf course name-golf homes”. My strategy here is that golfers have disposable income and most are fanatics about the sport. As you drive traffic and increase your rankings for that site you’ll eventually get on page one of the search engines because the blog you set up is passing along your link juice making your main site authoritative. Now, when a person is looking for a tee time for that course you’ll now have a page on there titled “My Domain dot Com/ the golf course name-golf homes” and tagged with “Your Name” exclusive realtor for XX country club golf homes.
6. Once I received page one ranking for that golf course I would then contact the golf course media relations and let them know what I have done and that I would like to set up a meeting or take them out to lunch and introduce myself as the go-to real estate agent for golf homes in the area. I would then introduce myself to all of those around the course and in the clubhouse and let them know that I am the go to realtor for golf homes for this course. Now, you can do any niche that you like and you really need to think outside of the box. One could focus on campgrounds, historic landmarks, parks, recreation areas, vacation spots, etc. It is not uncommon for people visiting from out of town to want to look for vacation homes in the area and eventually purchase one from the local expert and trusted agent. At the end of the day they are visiting because they either like the area or have family or friends in the area. And, let’s face it, we all want to live near the ones we love and those that we enjoy spending time with. So, you are branding yourself as the go to agent for that niche.
Really, after you do these strategies you just rinse and repeat for the next niche. Are you using SEO in your real estate career? What do you think of this strategy and also what other niches could you see for another agent or yourself?

You heard it here first. Is the Google +1 going to revolutionize search or it is going to falter flat? I’m not sure how Google is going to handle this. This is, definitely, going to be interesting. Why?
1. Google is reprogramming their algorithm to detect those “gaming the system”. While their intentions are to provide search relevance and enhance the search results for those searching and, ultimately, clicking on ads, I’m puzzled at this approach. In my opinion, this is truly a way to better GAME the system: meaning, I can just employ people to cloak my IP or set up email addy’s from different IP’s, establish accounts, type in my keyword phrase then click on my search result site and make my +1 nomination. While labor intensive, the end result is paramount in advertising revenue for a site. I could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars if I chose to really get in to this. However, I am not one for “GAMING the system”. Surely, Google realizes how easy this can be done. Google is relying on users to click the “+1” category and will base their algorithm off those choices? Preposterous. This is going to FAIL!
2. Less than one percent of people searching online care to make an additional click for a recommendation and, even less care to set up an account to make such recommendation. Google is behind the times on this one. Users want convience and not inconvience. I don’t care what anyone says. If an AOL user likes something they aren’t going to set up a Google account to “Like” the same thing.
3. Article marketing GAMING has been going on for years. Those that have figured it early on made BANK back in the day. The geeks that set up up those sites are retired, I’m sure, at this point. One can still article market. I still do it to this day. I have done it successfully to generate back links for some time. There is no doubt that it actually benefits those that provide quality content an actually optimize their websites to influence search engines.

Nearly every site online has outgoing links. What are outgoing links? Links directing your readers to other websites. Those can be affiliate links/ad banners as well. For the most part, outgoing links are pretty harmless and, let’s face it, we all want to share information with one another by posting a link for ease of use. There are some instances that can hurt your sites SEO. Now don’t get me wrong, Google won’t ban you from their search results but they can have a negative effect on your sites rankings in every search engine. Here are four ways that having outgoing links will hurt your website:
1. Relevancy of your outbound links: Don’t put unnecessary, unrelated links to other resources on your website. Google and the other search engines are looking for relevant, related content from site to site thus creating authority for your site ultimately putting together a content trail/map for Google users to find. At the end of the day Google wants to provide in their search results content that people are searching for. And, so do the other search engines as well.
2. Do not follow links: Does your site have a lot of advertising? Ads have outgoing links embedded in them redirecting your viewers back to their website. For example, HTML code for an ordinary link might look like this:
<a href=”http://www.site.com/page.html”>Visit My Page</a>
This is how the link would look after the nofollow attribute has been added, with the attribute portion shown in bold
<a href=”http://www.site.com/page.html” rel=”nofollow”>Visit My Page</a>
At the end of the day you don’t want to be passing along your website’s link juice along to the company that placed an ad on your site.
3. Do you have TOO many outgoing links? We all want to share the content we love but don’t place too many outgoing links on your site. For the most part, you shouldn’t have more than 100 outbound links on any web page of your site. The only way that you would have 100’s of links on a page is if your site was a directory like Wikipedia or an article based web directory like Ezine Articles.
4. Quality: Having too many outbound links on your website will affect the overall quality of your site. Keep in mind that the search engines want top quality sites that will benefit their readers. Sites with too many outbound links will appear to the search engines as a spam site; one that none of us can trust. This is simple HTML coding that almost anyone can do themselves. If you want to get a little bit in to optimizing your site for the above mentioned you can always copy and paste the HTML code above and enter in your domain name in the place of the example domain name -
“http://www.site.com/page.html” and then enter your keyword in place of …..Visit My Page. <—This would be your keyword. Always to remember to include the ” exactly as seen above.
What are you doing to control your outbound links?
