My Web Reporter is a service where you can have your site optimized for search engine web ranking and monitor how it is positioned on the most popular search engines. If you own a realtor web site, need internet marketing for your real estate business and are experiencing trouble with accurate placement or lack of targeted traffic, read on. This will be a valuable resource to gaining insight to what is necessary to develop the kind of traffic that you desire to your web site.

Internet Marketing and SEO

This site was originally created as a place for customers of this service to view the reports that showcase results of their web site's search engine position and ranking. However, now the services described here are designed to provide SEO for real estate websites, and the necessary search engine optimization for your real estate website to attract the attention of the search engines, and in turn, your customers.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Clients

Most of the clients of this service are, but not limited to the real estate industry. REALTORS® and real estate agents have a need for substantial and accurate placement on search engines in order to drive targeted traffic and attract new business leads. A non-optimized web site, especially untouched template sites such as those provided by the corporation are akin to a high performance sports car locked up in a garage; No one will see it and it never gets driven. What we do, in essence is give the site a "detailing" and "tune up" so it can be taken out on the open road for a good drive.

If you are in need of a web site, we can make recommendations, or you can use our services to have one built from scratch. We will recommend only the best: Web sites that are the most user friendly, that possess self-contained marketing capabilities, and sites that have the best chance of being picked up by the search engines once optimized. In some cases we can arrange to have your new website built in less than a week.

Any web site can be search engine optimized. The idea behind SEO for real estate websites is to include as many of the components within the site that the search engines look for when qualifying one for proper placement and indexing.

Search Engine Optimization Rules

One thing that most novice web site owners don't know is that there are distinct rules laid down by each search engine for placement. Unless you are using a "pay per click" service, getting high ranking for your site can be frustrating at best, a waste of money and time at worst. With each search engine, there are certain "algorithms" set by the vast computers that run each search engine's system.

The algorithms change in time as each search engine acquires new information about how to do a better job of properly indexing the millions of sites out there they are required to give results for. It is not the search engine's intent to deliberately ignore certain web sites or pages. Unless of course the owner of that site or page is breaking spam rules or over submitting. More about it on this page.

Other SEO Services

There are many services out there that charge anywhere from $100 per year to $1200 per month for search engine optimization (SEO), submission and/or reporting. The producer of this site has only found a few that offer a complete service. Submission without optimization is a waste of time and money. You are better to use the money for traditional marketing programs than throwing it down the drain on a non-optimized site. Yes, you may find a slight increase in traffic by just submitting alone, but the results will be vastly improved with accurate SEO for real estate websites. Think of it like trying to grow a lawn on hard, unfertilized soil. Yes, some grass may grow, but you won't be inviting your friends over to putt any rounds of golf.

The average cost of this service will vary, depending on the specific needs of the client and the size of the project. If our program cannot fit into your budget, you might want to consider a different approach to your online marketing or learn how to do what we do on your own. That is entirely possible for anyone. After all, this isn't rocket science. But with diligence, time and an open mind, you can learn all this stuff from many resources available.
