Tons of quality links through article directory submission

Search engine optimization is getting more and more difficult by the day. The search engines are evolving at an incredible speed, making it harder for us SEOs to rank our websites highly.
With that said, there are a few tried and true principles that we need to do when optimizing our website. The first of which, and the one that I always tell people to concentrate on is getting quality, 1 way links pointing to your website.

You can either submit your articles to these directories manually, or you can pay someone to do it for you. Manual submission takes a lot of time and energy and therefore many people abandon this great method of generating better search engine rankings. Paying someone to do it might cost you a lot of money.

In my opinion, the best solution is to use an article submitter software that can automatically submit your articles for free!

The best program for the money that we've found is a program called "Article Submitter" created my internet marketing expert, Brad Callen.

This program allows you to submit your articles to over 700 article directories and can save you an incredible amount of time in doing so. You simply enter your article details into the software once, and then select the directory you would like to submit to. The software will then, automatically fill in all of the submission criteria for each directory and allow you to quickly submit your articles.

Not only does this save you time in submitting your articles, but it saves you an incredible amount of time in just finding these free directories online. I highly suggest grabbing this great article submission program if you decide to take advantage of one of the easiest ways to get quality, 1 way links to your website.

I can't think of an easier way to get links. Of course, if you're going to get links this quickly, it's important to submit different variations of your articles, to make things look more natural to the search engines.

You can do this very easily via Article Submitter when you create your project in the beginning.

Real Estate Marketing Online - Give yourself a local edge

When marketing our real estate services on the web we might forget how important it is to stay not only global but also local in our efforts. Even though some prospects will be relocating from other areas of the country, there are still plenty of people who are just looking to move within the same area. And even relocting people will most likely check out local services and search for local businesses.

Local web advertising is also very important for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes, especially that now in many cases Google puts their top Google local results at the top of local keyword searches (i.e. you city real estate).

There are several ways that you can ensure that potential buyers and sellers find you before everyone else by using local web advertising.

1. Google Local

Google Local is a free tool that promotes your business and adds instant credibility. It is similar to an online “Yellow Pages” service available to people searching for nearby businesses. If you want to appear in the search results, you must have your business added to the directory.

Go to http://local.google.com.

At the bottom left, click on the “Add/Edit Your Business” link. Follow the prompts to add your business.

To weed out bogus postings and online-only businesses without a physical, local location, Google will send you a postcard with an activation code. Be certain you supplied a physical address where you actually check your mail. With the postcard and activation code in hand, come back to this site and enter your code. Your real estate business will now appear in searches, like those in “maps.google.com”.

Make sure you add your website URL as well so that interested prospects can visit your website for more info.

To make your listing stand out even more, you can add a coupon for your business listing, such as a "free home evaluation" or a "$500 rebate for buyers". Coupons will appear alongside your business listing on Google Maps. Adding coupons to your listing in Google Maps will bring new customers to you. The better savings you offer, the more customers you'll gain.


2. Yahoo Local

Similar to Google Local, Yahoo also has a site to list businesses.

Go to http://local.yahoo.com.

At the bottom center of the page, click on “Add/edit a business”. Choose the type of listing you would like to add. To use the free listing, click on the “Basic” option. Sign in to Yahoo! (create an account if you don’t already have one), and follow the prompts.


That's it. With 5 minutes work you just gave yourself a better shot at generating more real estate leads for absolutely free.

Any thoughts?
