#70924 - 03/29/04 09:56 PM New Recip Links Initiative
Anonymous
Unregistered


Hello All,

I am a new Realtor in Northern, VA with a strong programming background and lots of experience in Search Engine Optimization.

I have just launched our website and like others on this post I am frustrated with the lack of valid reciprocal link options out there.

Even our site (www.equitysafeteam.com) is not a valid link partner ... yet. Google has done a level 2 spider and I expect within 2-4 weeks it will be a valid link partner.

So, in order to help me and other realtors that have invested in their website and drive more traffic to it from search engines, I am creating a realtor directory that:

1) Has real links (not js links) that will actually help agents build their website PageRank value.

2) Is 100% free for realtors that have a Google indexed site and put a link on a Google indexed page back to the directory.

The site is http://www.Top-Real-Estate-Agents.org.

Now before anyone starts complaining let me set your expectations:

1) The site was only registered 3 days ago ... check the whois listing. Do a Google search and you will see the main page is already Google indexed... I really do know what I am doing.

2) I need to populate the site with agent links, so right now I am approving any agent website just so when traffic starts hitting the site, there will be something there. But, I would anticipate by mid-late April I will be in a position to start enforcing the rules of the game.

The big question a lot of realtors ask is "Why do I want to be in a directory? I want people to find me through a search engine and don't I need reciprocal links to do that?"

The answer is, you need PageRank from topic related sites. I will be posting a detailed explanation of why this directory will do more for your page rank than most could accomplish through reciprical links but this post is already sooo long.

Sorry if I lost many of you ... it is hard concept to explain quickly.

The link is http://www.Top-Real-Estate-Agents.org --- please take a look and register there if you think you may be interested.

Many Thanks!
Nick

well first thing I see wrong with the site is you have links going out to Homegain and some other real estate directories.

This presents a problem because this will cause your home page to bleed PR...so optimizing wise it isnt doing anyone a favor on the site..other then bleeding your home page PR

Thanks for checking out the site Wayne.

PR is distributed through all links on a page regardless of whether the links are internal or external links. There are 51 internal links and 6 external links --- the PR feed to the external sites is minimal.

So, why link out to these sites? Because "authoritative sites" should link to other authoritative sites --- not my rule, but a component of the google algo. These links actually improve the credibility of the site by associating it to other leading sites in the same theme.

Hope that make sense. If not feel free to reply here or direct through email.

Thanks.

Nick,

Great site! I hope you won't downgrade me since I'm another Northern Virginia Realtor.

Thanks,
