Realtor with SEO Questions?

[Scott]

Keyword-specific domain names by themselves will no longer automatically put a site in the #1 or #2 positions in search engines. The domain name is one of many factors that will impact the results.

Other factors include:

- The age of the site
- The amount of content on it
- How often it is updated
- How well it is optimized for SEO
- And especially if high-ranking sites link to it

I'm not trying to sell you anything because I specialize in Web sites for newspapers and associations. But like anything else anymore, it takes a lot of knowledge and hard work to get good rankings. So I would recommend hiring a contractor if you can't spend the time on it or don't have the expertise.

I also would recommend that you start with one site (the largest neighborhood you are targeting) and see how it goes before taking on other sites.

Regarding your main site, yes, those links will help with SEO.
