Real Estate Advertising Tips

Create backlinks and Google juice to your website by using other online resources.

First things first – before you start focusing on creating backlinks to your website, I would highly suggest focusing on your website’s content.  Links that point to your website should be relevant to your website’s content.  Why are links to your website important?  Links enable the search engine robots to find and index your website pages.  Search engine robots follow links, and the more relevant links you have pointing to your pages, the more often they will get read and indexed by the search engines.  When you have relevant, related backlinks pointing to your site, it also shows the search engines that your website is considered important.

Okay, so now let’s get started.

You can instantly create three (3) backlinks to your own website by creating one (1) post on ActiveRain. Choose to have it sent to Localism and your AR Outside Blog, and make sure that somewhere in the body of your post is a hyperlink to your website.  It's best to name the link with a search phrase. That’s three instant backlinks to your website; one from ActiveRain, one from Localism, and one from your Outside Blog (it’s best to have a custom domain name for your outside blog).

Want more than 3 backlinks? Sure you do! Here are a few other resources you can use to create backlinks:

• Create a Craigslist service ad and place a link in the description of the post.
• Create an entry at http://www.realestatewiki.com/
• Create a flyer on ClassifiedFlyerAds.com and make sure to include your website url in the flyer.
