Hi everyone, I wanted to see if there was any interest in talking about SEO (search engine optimization) and getting our web pages to get more traffic. I have some experience but would love to exchange ideas with other members. I would also like to exchange links with any experienced agent who wished to so so. I am new hear so any advice as far as where this post would be appropriate would be great.

 

Cordially,

Hi Bruce, 

Yes, this is the place to discuss this and I think it's a great topic!  All Zolve forum posts and blogs are given permanent URL's.  I understand that Zolve and Zolve member's are coming up very well in Google searches.  I admit, I'm not an expert on SEO, so I'll be happy to learn more about it! 

 

Ok, Zolve member's...care to share some feedback, words of wisdom, perils of the process???

Bruce,

 

Great topic of discussion!! I am not versed in the SEO world however I would be interested in hearing some ideas, suggestions or whatever. In todays market we know that most buyers search the web before the ever call an agent. Knowing this I believe that whatever we can do to get our presence known would only be a benefit. Keep me posted when this discussion takes off. Have a blessed day...

     We have been pretty successfull with our websites, we no longer pay the allmighty Google adword campaign. Allthough Adwords can be successful, we have found that farming outside your area is more beneficioal, and less expensive. Just keep blogging, use good titles/tags, and add content for the search engines...

Besides Zolve and LinkedIn, I belong to ActiveRain, which has optimized opportunities for SEO and, in particular, Google.  On ActiveRain, I found the most help from Mary McKnight's blog, specifically discussing SEO optimization through blogging activity.  I don't know how or if Google, Yahoo or any of the other sites are up and fully crawling blogs, posts, etc. here yet, it seems that this is a newer effort (I'm a rank 'newbie' here).  It would help in your tagline, if besides a topic, you found a way to be specific to a local, geographical area as well.  Including links that are 'meme', well read or recognised in some way as search important would help a lot.  Mary recently had an article that compared this to the 7 degrees to Kevin Bacon game that clearly explained the concept.

I would like to see some ideas from those in the know on how to polish and post rich content to get this site up and running with the big boys, and am open to all exchange of ideas on this.
