Over the last several months I’ve been putting together some links to build upon a previous real estate SEO post.

Real Estate SEO is certainly a hot topic and I find thinly discussed topic.
Som eideas to help any website on the site is:
Robots.txt
w3 declaration
Google/Yahoo sitemap
Character Encoding in Header
Language Encoding
Links back to your home page that say your main keyword instead of “home page”.
Title &, Description tags.

But in the end the single most important elements are the title tag and links. And lots of links. Not just to your “index” page but also to your internal pages as well.

Links are how the engines prefer to find your pages, and how they put the most weight on the meaning of your page.

So SEO has moved from on page optimization to off page optimization meaning linking.

You are absolutely right about that Tim. I think the only part of SEO that is discussed at times is blogging, and how blogging produces content that is then capable of being searched. Lots of topics to discuss, meaning, lots of info to share, right?
