How to succeed online
 

Closing Comments
 
Real Estate is a business that rewards people to people contact. If you hate farming, cold calls and initiating contact let the Internet do it for you. The Internet farms 24/7/365. Your website is a presentation to prospective customers who will make the initial contact if they like what you offer.

My goal was to provided a general overview of how the Internet works.  Each search engine uses a different math formula and each constantly adjust its formula which explains why NIREB offers five directories. Three of the directories key off "Real Estate" which is utilized in 29% of all real estate related searches. NIREB's objective is to help you maintain a top-10 ranking on half the major search engines for half its keywords.

The four largest search engines are Yahoo, MSN, AOL and Google. By having a listing on NIREB's sites each of these search engines will find your website in 3 to 5 days.

Sincerely,

Cliff

PS: No website can rank well without reciprocal links from websites with similar keywords. My directories are designed to improve each participants website's ranking and to benefit all participants each time a new agent joins our network. 

OF SPECIAL IMPORTANCE is the keyword relevance on a site. If you swap links with a beauty salon it does not relate to your site and harms your rankings due to the fact the spider is no longer confident of your primary message. Same with sites that offer directories of many professions. Only swap links with sites that compliment your business/website.
