In this first blog of the year I will state five (5) ideas that some may view as counter intuitive towards a successful Strategy with your Organic Visibility and SEO. Most Real Estate Professionals have come to embrace that the Internet is an important aspect of their business growth and success, and many keep buying product after product to seemingly try to gain an edge. We have become a gadgetry society and move from website vendor to website vendor. Yes, some vendors are terrible and you must find better solutions, but to focus on this aspect alone is not enough; it is only the beginning of a proper Internet Marketing Strategy.

By the way, did you know that most Real Estate Agents don’t know how to define the term Marketing, let alone Internet Marketing. I place part of the blame on them, but more of it on institutional trainers who are supposedly molding the next crop of Real Estate Professionals with pseudo-classes teaching concepts they don’t understand.

And so, In order to create discomfort and reflection I will state these five (5) ideas without commenting on them. I figure it is the first of the year and reflection and thinking can do us all good; so please ponder these ideas and feel free to comment:

Five Counter-intuitive SEO Ideas:

1. Your attitude and outlook matter more than your technical knowledge.

2. Your habits are more effective than your HTML knowledge.

3. Keywords don’t matter as much as your ability to tell stories.

4. Your website is only a small part of your SEO strategy.

5. Listing Syndication and IDX have hurt you more than helped you.

PS: SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization a common concept that describes organic placement in Search Engines.

I wish all of you a Happy New Year full of prosperity, love, and giving!
