Motivated Seller Lead Generating Website Trending Up

Almost a month has passed since my last post and during that time I have watched positive growth in impressions on my website. Perspective in SEO is important so an analogy is in order...You are floating on an inner tube at your favorite lake on a sunny, warm day and decide to take a short nap. When you open your eyes you are surprised to see that you have drifted quite a ways from your last position. Slow and steady yet unstoppable forces have moved you even though you were not able to perceive the motion. This is SEO the natural and safe way where you build good content and link naturally, hooking on to the slow and steady, yet unstoppable forces of Google in its natural course to provide searchers with the best and most relevant content for their queries. Any shortcuts tried will awaken the immune system of this giant and possibly activate some of the human guards who will promptly de-index your site!

 The Search Console on Google shows that the average number of daily impressions are now 75 and the average position of all 68 keyword phrases is 44. Some keyword phrases for my website are now on page 1 of Google with others following closely behind on page 4 of the search results. This is really quite good for a new website with a lot of competition in its space here in Houston. The very high competition keyword phrases are edging up from page 8 - 10 now showing on pages 6 - 8. It's important to note that nobody besides me looks past page 2 on Google and most folks never go to page 2! So page 1 on the Google search results is the goal and even there you must claw your way up to the first 3 to get profitable traffic. But one of my phrases for "Low Equity" Houses has made it to number 1.

Clicks and Goal Conversions are naturally increasing but I don't expect to shoot through the top of the search engine results too soon. For a website and domain that are so young to have made such progress is very satisfying if you know all the hurdles that have to be cleared. For "On Page" SEO, it is the articles that automatically post each week from the content package that are responsible for the Google Spiders knowing the route to the website - they really love fresh new content and we are training them to know where to find it in the Real Estate space! For "Off Page" SEO, links from high domain authority sites like Bigger Pockets and others as well as YouTube content linked to the website are mostly responsible.

If you are still fighting with a slow WordPress site or an aged HTML site, I would recommend looking into Investor Carrot. Google's algorithms are looking for mobile friendly sites with fast load times; as well as all the relevant content requirements. And you should be interested in the same things for your business because the trend is quickly moving to mobile devices and the competition is providing faster downloads...you can't expect to compete in today's business using yesterday's tools. 

Investor Carrot also added a few new design features to their product that you can take a look at on BetterCallSmith.com . This is another example of their service included in the subscription so that your site can stay abreast with the most recent and proven effective technology for real estate investment lead generating websites.
