REAL ESTATE WEB DESIGN There are many ways to go about designing a Website. Some of these ways are compatible with search engine technology but many are not. Isn’t it a no-brainer for a real estate Web designer to avoid those design elements that confuse or interfere with the search engines’ robots? You would think so but still many Web designers use framed pages, Flash graphics and Java script and there is no good reason for it.
PAGE CONTENT Assuming the design elements are correct, the search engine robots will scan your Website looking for ORIGINAL CONTENT. In essence they ask: Does this Website belong in with shoe stores or with real estate information? Is this Website about real estate in Kansas or in Alaska? How do they figure this out? They look at Title, Description and Keyword tags and the scan and evaluate the words on all of your Web pages. If the words on your Website are exactly the same as hundreds of other Websites, as happens when you choose a Template Website, then your Website does not have original content.
BACKLINKS Every time the search engine robot scans your Website, it looks to see how many other important Websites link to the site they are evaluating. These are called Backlinks. The more quality backlinks a Website has, the higher it will rank in the search engine’s results.
