Another email in the inbox..”we can put you on first page of google”. This is such a misleading statement. I wonder how many times these sites and spammers get business from this claim. First of all, isn’t the first page of Google..simply Google.com? The last time I checked, there were no ads or links to anything outside of Google on that page. First page of search results? For what search term are they promising results? Is it organic or paid search?
If you have a big enough budget, you can get on the first page of your desired keyword search results on your own. Set-up adwords accounts and bid the phrase you desire. It may cost a lot of money, but it is possible to do it very quickly. Read more…
There are great comments on a post at AtlantaRealEstateForum about using social media to sell homes. Obviously Social Media is just a tool ( a lot of different tools ) to help market products. You goals may be to sell new homes, bank foreclosures, real estate owned homes, short sales, real estate, or just build exposure and branding for your company. Using sites like facebook and services like twitter, you can help drive traffic. Some of it will be direct traffic that can be measured. Some of it will be indirect where social media caused the site to be found easier. How many people visit a website that was actually a blog and they did not know it was a blog? How many clicked on a link that was a result of a twitter post feed? Lots of ways to use social media to help you sell homes. Its still up to the agent, broker, or builder representative to actually sell the home. Rarely do you see a buyer come in ready to sign a contract without first being sold on the new home by someone.
