If these are all done properly than your SEO rankings will boost up at the same time

Good Luck

So far tips number 5 is the only option I haven't tried yet.

Agreed, also make sure you have a daily or weekly email newsletter with informative information in it.

How do you mean YouTube is bigger than Google?

More people is searching or visiting Youtube than Google?

No, youtube is not bigger then google.

Google owns YouTube! lol

Thank you I was just curious..thought I was missing something.

For facebook and myspace...what do you do there to get traffic to your website? Post you links in comments and comments in groups?

To answer the question about if Youtube is bigger than google. The answer is yes, google gets more traffic every day but youtube is hot on its tail. As for unique hits go youtube is actually bigger than google.


THE POINT IS YOUTUBE IS FREE!!!!!


Google takes years of practice to master!!

You can put a video on YOUTUBE in a matter of minutes!!

To answer the facebook question, yes allot of it is in groups, you need to set up a quality page on facebook premoting your site and properties, then join groups build your network and do the facebook thing!

You guys want proof,


Go to alexa.com


type in youtube and google and click on page views, youtube is nearly double google!!!!!!

Alexa is not a very good gauge of a sites ranking or traffic. They can only count hits from computers that have the alexa toolbar installed, so the stats are skewed. They translate 1 click on an alexa toolbar computer to equal 1 million clicks. Not the kind of stats to bet on.

Now, about youtube. People go to youtube for entertainment not to shop. It is better to get 1 good contact then a million contacts from people having fun.

This type of exposure works if you are selling a national brand of soda or cars but in real estate the market is local and requires target marketing.

Google is ranked 2nd in traffic while Youtube is 3rd, where's the proof now?

Um i said PAGE VIEWS!


not rank!

lols my mistake then, relax~

Aside from the youtube/google argument taking place, the original post had some great ideas and I would agree that those are probably the best ways to market your site. I would also add blog commenting, specifically on do follow blogs, this can build traffic pretty quickly and helps your site ranking with google.
