They Laughed AT SEO - Until I Got on Page One» | Orange County SEO Expert Dave Keys http://orangecountywebdesign.biz Your Small Business Needs Me | SEO Expert Dave Keys Sun, 22 Jan 2012 23:07:11 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 What is a Blog Coach? http://orangecountywebdesign.biz/what-is-a-blog-coach/ http://orangecountywebdesign.biz/what-is-a-blog-coach/#comments Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:49:30 +0000 Dave http://orangecountywebdesign.biz/?p=278 SEO Expert and coach Katerina Gasset

The answer is easy. To demonstrate an SEO Blog Coach, just look up the name Katerina Gasset. First of all, there are lots of people proclaiming themselves experts in this and that. As I read somewhere last year in a commentary about another month with some 450,000 new unemployed, “That’s a lot of new bloggers!” And I think the same is true about blog coaches. The proof is in the pudding. If you’re in real estate or any small business, check out Katerina’s SEO for Agents website and get the ball rolling if you’re stuck on blogging. She has everything from free information to one on one personal coaching.

More Updates http://orangecountywebdesign.biz/whats-happening-here-more-updates/ http://orangecountywebdesign.biz/whats-happening-here-more-updates/#comments Thu, 20 May 2010 03:28:55 +0000 Dave http://orangecountywebdesign.biz/whats-happening-here-more-updates/ Since my last post, I’ve moved one website off photography and made it a fully SEO oriented blog. The neglected OC photographers website has moved to page one after a new title, leaner theme and a couple of posts and back-links.

The Orange County SEO website is tougher, staying on page three. I have to admit, I’m curious what would happen if I switched the call-to-action part with the keyword part of the title.

ActiveRain unexpectedly awarded me 1000 points for hyper-local challenge, which I had thought was over but- hey, points are always good on ActiveRain.

My YouTube videos seem to take minutes to show up on Google, a couple of weeks to drop off and then a couple more to show up for good.

I visited the planned community a few weeks ago and took some pictures and video. I found the atmosphere to be quite serene and the homes are distinctive and attractive. Homeowners on the waterfront of the 15 acre lake have private docks and can enjoy great views of the lake.

From the video narrative:

Discover beautiful East Lake Village in Yorba Linda, CA. This lake centered paradise gives homeowners a serene living experience that truly reflects Yorba Linda’s motto, “Land of Gracious Living.”
Here you will find a planned community of spacious homes, greenways and fully staffed recreational and meeting facilities. These include a main two-level private clubhouse, 3 swimming pools, a spa, and basketball and sand volleyball courts all for homeowners and their guests to enjoy.

The call to action was to discover East Lake Village homes in Yorba Linda.

The post on the blog relayed the same message about East Lake Village.

It’s also a little bit about homes and real estate because that’s the whole point of my work here. Why tertiary links? Because, sometimes a back-link alone gets no “juice.” You build a blog, you insert back-links, the blog posts get indexed and stick. But then you perform a search to see what the results are and you discover that you got, perhaps one out of ten back links credited. Why? The site has too little value and the verification is squat. Everyone is selling homes and real estate is highly competitive. Homes for sale is a term that is abused and populated more than almost any online offering. You have to do a little more work and cite the blog from another source to prove anyone anywhere might even see it. This is where the inflation factor kicks in. Tertiary links from third party sources go further in verifying that the blog post is anything more than just a link source. Example: I’ve placed links to several real estate related videos on my strategyiskey.com blog but nothing is indexed, much less credited. This Menifee homes post is of little value unless it’s verified from another source like this one.

Google liked it enough that it’s already on page one for its long title. I’ll add some support on my blogs and see how it does for sorter keywords. The Menifee homes for sale in Calder Ranch are being built by Capital Pacific Homes throughout the spring. If you get in early enough, you can still make choices on items like flooring, dens and four (yes four) car garage options. These homes in Menifee are on one acre and range in size to over 4,000 sq. ft.

    It doesn’t take a complete real estate SEO expert to know that video ranks well against stiff competition.

The weakness appeared to be that the software I used, SEO Spyglass, indicated that the link value was designated as zero, that’s right, 0. I don’t know how that assessment is reached but whatever the metric or the actual value, I have to agree that it was close. I wrote a few small articles on some of my blogs and this morning I had advanced ahead of that competitor with perhaps five new back links. That pretty well demonstrates the value of automatically generated links vs. contextual back links in article content, doesn’t it?

    This would indicate that even in the context of this article, that has little to do with real estate, a back link to Palm Beach Gardens homes for sale or PGA National homes for sale or Fullerton Homes for sale holds more value than a generated link for the same appearing in the blogroll with every article posted.
