Trulia domination

By Mert on Mar 25, 2008 in Real Estate SEO

There has been a steady increase in rank for major city real estate keywords for authority sites such as Trulia and Yahoo Real Estate sections. They are rising rapidly in ranks for <city> real estate keyword. This is clearly an issue of authority trumping links in the Google algorithm. At least for now.

    Well at least they are honest about it (The choice of the username guilty was commenter’s choice not mine).

    All I want to know is if linking to the property lister’s sites does not “help” them, how they believe that linking to sites that own the property advertising rights and actually are relevant to the content on their site “hurts” their ranks.

    As with almost any competitive keyword, Trulia is using tactics that certainly qualify as Grey hat at the very least. Google is known to give and take as they see fit, and it remains to be seen how long Trulia will stay in Google’s good graces.

  • Why I do what i do

    I have found my truly calling at last. After reading the below, you will think really? Yes, I have... You know why? Because I can do every industry with SEO without ever getting bored of it. I have been involved with a lot of things in life, always a workaholic, never really satisfied until I met the search engines. I have done aluminum roofing for factories (teenage years), I have been a new home construction superintendent. I have worked as a bank manager. I have dealt with automation and security technology consulting. I was involved in startups for hotel wireless internet (when wireless was a big deal). I have an MBA in marketing. I have worked with so many industries it is not even funny. Why do I write about real estate SEO because I am a partner of a family Chicago real estate agency. Do not take me wrong, I am not a "Real Estate" SEO. I have worked with so many clients from steroids to universities, to apparel stores, to hospitals to hedge funds and lawyers. I love being an SEO. No one customer is ever the same. By the way, we are also passionate about Chicago Cerebral palsy issues
