Hmm. I did a google search for the head line of your website:

Search Engine Marketing for Real Estate.

I could not see getyournameoutthere.com in the first nine pages of results, unless I missed it.

I would think that if you are going to charge people for Search Engine Marketing for Real Estate, you would be on at least one of the first three pages. Preferably two...but after 9 pages I gave up.

That is one of the most competitive terms, in definitely the MOST competitive industry for SEO/SEM, with a website I have not spent much time on and only recently updated. Before recently it was mainly for my own personal use of the "keyword suggestion tool". SEO takes time, try again in six months things will be different.

I am good at what I do. In the next few days when I have more time I will provide a list of realtor's that I have helped for you to call for a referral if thats what you need to see.

Be very careful about who you use for SEO/SEM, they can get you black listed from both Google and Yahoo and we sure don't want that. There are a few companies out there posing as Housevalues affiliates and they can get your site revamped and can get you top ranking. They are all crooks in my opinion. They charge a ridiculous premium for something anyone can do themselves.

Very true, I worked for homes.com and I saw the percentages of spend for SEM campaigns, and I know how much time I spent per site for a $999 setup fee for SEO. I know one of the reasons I am no longer there is because I express my opionion about this unethical practice. They are/were crooks.

I assure you, I now work for an ethical and medium sized digital marketing firm and manage SEM/SEO campaigns all day. My biggest is for one of the largest computer virus software companies in the world.

I will not get you black listed, unlike some others who compete in small market cites around the country, I am competing in the more competeive big tier markets. I will work for you on the weekends and nights for about the same I make at work, which is about $35 per hour. Not a bad deal.

I did the 10 second test on the first 2 sites in your signature and both failed at the most basic of seo tests.

Be careful when you brag on your self and claiming to be able to get people to the #1 spot is the most abused brag around.

Bigtoe, I see you everywhere \:\)

I would definitely suggest posting links to websites that you helped get ranked otherwise you really have nothing to stand on. That way those that are interested can contact the owner of the sites and get their input on your work.

Not quite sure what you mean by my work. I sell real estate for a living and use websites to get business for me. I thought this was obvious in my signature.

I do not do websites for other people. I do give lots of free advice, sometimes good and sometimes not so good, if anyone asks.

Everything that anyone needs to know about SEO is on google for free. When I got fed up paying other people for not getting my sites to be lead generators I googled SEO. Then I googled everything I read and then I googled all of that. Then I implemented it all myself. It works if you take the time.

And what I am standing on is both of those sites have canonical domain issues. This is a very basic SEO practice that should be done when a site is being first developed. Of course since I was paying other people to take care of this for me I had to fix it myself after the fact.

For more on canonical domains http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-url-canonicalization/

Sorry for not clarifying! Big Toe I was just making a statement that I see you on so many different forums.

My second comment was for Robert Ferguson.

I am interested to see what Robert has to say. I am sure that he is very qualified. I just think that if you are running around telling people how good you are and say that $35hr is not a big deal. You should have something to show for it. We have paid for SEO like bigtoe has and had similar results. Going back and doing it all ourselves. We know a lot about SEO however am still NO expert. I would help with info that has worked for us for free.

Being an Expert is relative in SEO. I am by far not an expert. Everyday around 4-5pm our agency “expert” comes over and sits down to shoot the bleep, with all us newbie SEM/SEO’s.

Well mainly me probably because I have a ongoing deal, that I will buy him lunch if he lets me ask him any question I have, and we have developed a big brother little brother friendship (he likes to pick on me and throw plastic darts at the back of my head from across the office).

Anyway, many in the industry consider him an expert, but even he admits there is much more to learn. But I don’t consider him a top expert, because in my opinion any top expert at SEO, wouldn’t be working, or even posting to forums, rather they would be sipping margaritas in the Bahamas while one of their many sites rake in the cash.

I know allot about SEO sure, but I am not an expert. I do guarantee I know more than just about anyone on this forum other than maybe the forum admin, and some of the other people trying to provide service who I am sure will charge you allot more than $35 dollars an hour, and if they don’t, they are definitely not an expert.

As yes, I am too busy to fully SEO my own site(s) (yes sites …last time I checked I had about 20). Homesinpb.com is only still up because I am ranked higher than my old boss at homes.com which is amusing to me since it was a template site I scraped from their servers before my last day when they shut the original template site down. This was even though I asked if I could pay for it monthly but was denied. Remember, I was let go because I PUSHED THE BOSSES TOO HARD TO IMPROVE SEO TECHNIQUES, or maybe it was my arrogance…. jk

GYNOT (my fist SEO’d site), was actually started only as a tool for the sales reps at homes.com to use to demonstrate keyword search volume when the SEObook tool was heavily pinged. Also, it was mainly for SEM, I never had a chance to fully SEO it myself because I have been too busy learning from people who know much more than I.

If you must know my job title is SEM Specialist where I manage approx a $1000 total daily spend for a major virus software provider, and a smaller Computer Services Provider, but thanks to my ongoing lunch offer, in the near future hopefully I will be switching over to be an official SEO specialist. Like I said, I am not an expert, but I am learning fast. I am for hire but I am very busy lately….so busy I had to hire a Brazilian assistant (why not India? I just like Brazilians that’s why) to help me out for my side projects, and because I am so busy I wont take any work now for less than $45 per hour. \:\)

To much info there..

In a big biz world, that is not how people (at least who I deal with / know) would like to know when they will be paying big $ for a service that will generate leads for them. They want a expert, not a experts office-friend who is still learning.

Just my 2c's

Possibly, but I like to share my fun experiences and don't care so much what is PC. That’s why I am in a technical field, and not sales.

The tips he shares with me range from easy tricks that no SEO will tell you, to highly technical techniques beyond the scope of these forums.

They are his tricks of the trade. Some might even call some of them Grey Hat SEO. I call it just knowing what your competitors may be doing so that you can be on an even playing field if you have to be.

SEO is getting easier with the improvements on Google's part. The real trick is original content, links, and relevance. Type in linkdomain:websitename.com and find out what your competitors are doing. Well I guess this maybe far beyond the scope of this forum. You can't listen to these SEO people cause they will show you mediocre results for a lot of money. The best way to get good quality SEO is DO YOUR OWN DILIGENCE and don't listen to guy like ^

yup.. gotta watch the SEO guys... what do they know \:D ...

There's good and bad in every trade for sure... I definitely wouldn't sell my own house FSBO... althougn I know a thing or 2 about a thing or 2 ;\) ... I think everyone has to do their due diligence and find the right people to build the right network of resources for themselves and then spend their time doing what brings them in the most $ return for their time spent ...

You think linkdomain is beyond “the scope of this forum” but you want the members of this forum to research SEO on their own? Isnt this a contradiction?

 Quote:

Who should they listen to you? ...and if so are you proclaiming your expertise because you have an “ok” ranking on a site mostly because you figured out how to spam low PR pages?

What happens if Google updates their algo and devalues your PR for having a disproportionate level of low pr links? Will you send me ANOTHER Private message asking me if their is anything I can recommend you do to your site?

OK everyone here is my SEO tip of the day.

Spamdexing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamdexing

Spam blogs, forums, social sites, wiki sites, and don’t forget comment spam as you have just witnessed above from PaulNHS

Why not checking Google for:

"real estate portals"
"real estate portal"
"canada real estate portals"
"international real estate portals"
"real estate ads"

If you find us in the first 3-4 pages, it might make sense to start using our services.

See you around,

No one can promise to make you number 1 in any of these search engines. However, with such a strong statement in the headline no wonder over a 1000 have clicked on this thread. Maybe this guy knows what he is doing after all.

Hey Roberto,

I have seen your website... So lets get serious. Besides how come I never see you on Digital Point or other website that sight point, SEO chat... Must be above the scope of those too right?

I have seen yours as well, templates take me about 5 minutes to install how long did it take you?

Do not try to deny you asked me for advice in a personal message a few months ago. Only reason I didn't give you some is because all you wanted to do is brag about how well you thought your site was doing. I found you slightly annoying and a waste of my time, so I never replied after the 2nd or third email. Would you like me to post your emails?

Maybe you have and just don't know it. :P

Also, what does "website that sight point" mean? Bad grammar is not the best thing for SEO.

If you are going to pay, you might as well pay the search engine company directly and use their PPC advertising service. When you sign up with them, you will also have access to all kinds of information on how to maximize you positioning. You can also set your daily/weekly/monthly budget so you know exactly how much you are going to spend.

I have had good results with Google http://www.adwords.com and fair/ok results from Yahoo - http://www.overture.com .
