5 Surefire Ways To Get More Traffic To Your Real Estate Website Or Blog

September 3rd, 2008 by Damon

DamonIt’s a numbers game. The more people that you connect with, the more likely you will be able to start a business relationship with. This is true with making connections on your website or blog. But how do you get more people coming to your website or blog? Here are a couple of powerful ways to generate more traffic!

1. Submit your site to as many search engines as you can. The big ones are Google, Yahoo, and MSN but the smaller ones are important too such as AOL, Excite, and Alexa. If your site isn’t indexed in the search engines, then it will be hard for anyone to find you.

2. Content on your website or blog. People go online to find information. You should tailor the content on your website to attract the type of people you want to do business with.

3. Share your link. If you work with vendors or other real estate professionals in your area, trade links with them. The more links you have back to your website, your site will have higher visibility in the search engines.

4. Put your url on all marketing material. If you’re handing out flyers or even if you’ve created coffee cups for prospects, make sure your website url is on there so they know where they can get more information on your services.

5. Participate in online forums and social networking. You can give your knowledge in real estate forums and social networking sites. Remember to always include a link back to your website when you post in online forums or on social networking sites. When others see that you’re the expert in your area, they will be sure to go to you.

    Great suggestions, Damon! I’d add to #5 above, submitting your articles to social bookmarking sites like Reddit, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and now, the new BiggerPockets Bulletin. Be cautious, though, as some of these sites will penalize you for oversubmitting your site.
