I did it in about 20 minutes flat in iMovie and posted it up to Youtube, filling in all the available text options for optimization. Sure enough, it ended up number one in video search for Mirasol Homes for Sale

For a targeted site featuring homes and real estate in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. And the golf resort community, Mirasol homes, I recently obtained a number one spot for a video based on my chosen keyword. The question is whether it can translate to marketable value on a standard web search for Mirasol homes for sale. Will it show up as “videos relating to” on the standard search pages? Will it increase traffic enough to boost the beneficiary site? Will it cause pages where it’s embedded to be visited longer and reduce bounce rate?
For Mirasol High End Custom Luxury Homes for Sale in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. the question will only be answered over time. Competitors haven’t quite given real SEO effort to video but back links still rein as primary in SEO.

This Fullerton real estate website is a target for a site that serves both as a marketing and lead generation source focused on homes for sale in Fullerton and Brea.
Fullerton Homes for Sale | Brea Homes for Sale | If there’s a good deal..
The surprise for me was that Fullerton homes remain one of the most popular searches in Southern CA, topped by Corona homes but I suspect the term applies to more than just the real estate in Corona, CA but that some brands may be involved.

OC Photographer selection from the site:
I moved a competitive keyword up to page one in 30 days. The target is in the exclusive community of PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. An extensive effort was undertaken through blogging and syndication of his content on real estate and social networking portals. PGA National homes for sale in exclusive communities are centered on golf resort living and private clubs and facilities. The SEO effort primarily employed one hundred word short articles and commentaries on the various communities from Mirasol homes for sale to various sub-communities of Palm Beach Gardens home for sale.
Part of my success was predictable because I discovered that several competitors had engaged in automated link spamming and they hadn’t really put all that much effort into best practices for SEO. My prediction of catching up to them was realized earlier than expected. Analysis of competitor also revealed a roughly 50% ratio of wasted back-links with nofollow or irrelevant anchor text.

Matt Cutts, in his “Google state of the index” video, (google it and you’ll see it) has made it absolutely clear what SEOs who keep up with current changes know- Google pays no attention to the keyword metatag, that section in your website that reads Google reads your content and skips right past the lie list of keywords you tried to fool google with carefully chose.
I have no idea whether Yahoo and Bing (the true biggest losers) reads those keywords but I’d make sure my SEO knew how to optimize for content better than keyword stuffing in metatags.
This post is optimized for people.
