Hi
Using All in one Seo and having a tough time finding the best words for it. 150 limits are rough, what are you using with success?

There's no need for keyword stuffing, write the description based on relevancy to the post itself (e.g. don't write RE-related keywords, if it's a post about food).

I personally think people put way to much focus on being completely relevant to their field. I like to go to forums that interest me and write about the same things, and a lot of times it has nothing to do with RE. I see that I do get value for this from the big G and it allows me to actually love what I am doing.

Spot on Maui keyword stuffing is dead and just looks horrible as well.

I agree. Key words are important but back links should be the focus. Now, it seems social media will play a part as well.

So they say, but I find it hard to believe it will be the case for small business owners or professionals who don't have the budgets and cache of big brands. Let's face it, it takes way to much time to do it properly and on the same time optimiz for search and do your job, that is your real job as realtor or whatever you're doing

The keywords should be closely related to the post. For example, if you're writing about a new home you just listed, don't use "big town real estate" as your keywords. Instead, use phrases like zip code + homes for sale, big town shortsales, where you'll substitute the actual zip code or your city name. Leads have found me through my blog because of very specific phrases.

DEAD ON!

I used to use All in one SEO but with StudioPress agentpress theme it comes with a system that seems to be very similar and easier to uses. One less plugin.

I have to agree with this. Social media is playing an ever increasing role in SEO. And it will continue to do so as Google gets more and more data from G+.
