If you are blogging to draw real estate leads, which a lot of of us are, you recognize the usefulness of having your subject matter found on the internet. I have invested a lot of time to get the word out about the Real Estate Lead Generation Software served through RedX and have learned a enormous deal about search engine optimization in the process. What I have learned is that if you want to profitably drive leads to your blog, the actual post is only the primary step. The steps following your post will truly determine your level of accomplishment in attracting traffic and subsequent real estate leads to your blog.

Steps To Accomplish SEO Success And Appeal to Real Estate Leads

You should realize that your blog is a marketing investment. However, your return on investment is determined primarily through how many people read your blog and visit your site. Since this fact, you ought to be sure that your investment pays off through the search engines.

The first step in the writing procedure should always be choosing a target keyword. During the process of choosing a topic to write about, use a few minutes on google to see how competitive the saying you are focusing on will be. To see the level of competition, look next to the search box for the search results information. For example, the competitive information for the phrase "attract real estate leads is "Results 1 – 10 of about 4,230,000 for attract real estate leads. (0.55 seconds)" Because this post is competing with over four million other entries, it is unlikely to rank high on the search phrase "attract real estate leads." Thus, optimizing it for that phrase may be somewhat futile and I ought to perhaps optimize this article to a less competitive phrase such as "listing leads for Realtors", or even "GRAR" which only has one million competitors.

After you have chosen your search phrase, draft your article using the target phrase in the text. Be sure to include the expression as part of your header tags as well as your subhead Back to our example, the phrase Interest Real Estate Leads is in the tag of this article.

Here is what I do to promote these posts as well as the RedX markdown page.

* Ping your post using a pinging tool to various websites. I use pingler.com

* Use an article rewriting instrument to create multiple unique versions of your article. Distinctive versions are required so that all syndicated site that posts your blog is counted as a unique back link to your real estate blog. I now use Magic Article Rewriter as my instrument of choice.

* Submit your unique article to as many article directories as possible. I use two tools concomitantly for this. The first is UniqueArticleWizard, the second is Magic Article Submitter. Both tools allow you to syndicate your article across the web over time which steadily increases your links and your search engine rank. Their actual sales pages are pretty cheesy, but the tools work great.

* Bookmark the post to StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicous, and the rest of the bookmarking sites. If you are using a Wordpress, Orlywire has an exciting tool that allows you to automatically bookmark your post to your accounts.

* If you haven't submitted your RSS feed to the numerous feed readers, then now is the time to do so.

* Update the post on your facebook, MySpace, ActiveRain and Broker Agent Social pages.

All of the above sounds like a lot of work, and it does take on an hour to complete all of the steps. However, where you may appeal to one or two real estate leads from the post alone, you can now expects a few hundred more people to find you from your search engine optimization activities.
