Greatetst Real Estate Agent in the World

I am still going at it trying to rank for the Greatetst Real Estate Agent in the World contest.  It seems that my ActiveRain post made it to the 4th page on Google, so I am going to use that post as my entry unless something else happens.

More about the Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World contest.

So far it has been a blast.  Seeing these SEOs battle it out has been a learning experience to say the least.  There is some very creative people entered and to see what they are doing to get ranked is blowing my mind.  I used to think I had a pretty good grasp on this real estate seo thing until I entered this contest.

 A little update

It looks like Eric Blackwell is in the lead. Eric is the Director of Technology for RE/MAX Properties East located not an actual agent.

Ryan Award is next.  He is a real estate group out of Atlanta.  Does a lot with Word Press.

Greg Boser AKA WebGuerrilla is a search engine marketing consultant.  He has been doing this since 95

Justin Smith is a coach for Real Estate Tomato.  He works with real estate agents looking to learn more about blogging and online real estate marketing.

Mike Taylor is the owner broker of Rebate Real Estate out of Indianpolis. 

Where am I?  Currently I am buried on page 4 with my ActiveRain post.  I started a little late, so hopefully that is the reason I am behind.

Wish me luck!

Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World

Yes I am in the SEO contest for the Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World and this is my official entry.  If you haven't heard about it, some of the crew over at REW is having a contest to see who can get ranked the best for the term Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World.  So far, I have bought a domain name and made a couple posts on the topic hoping to get some brownie points with Google.  The domain name I bought was greatest-real-estate-agent-in-the-world-contest.com.  I put some content up on the domain name and linked a forum to it.

The link to my REW entry is greatest real estate agent in the world.

A site I created to hopefully get some SEO points: the-greatest-real-estate-agent-in-the-world-contest

 As you can see, if you were to go to google and type in Greatest Real Estate Agent in the World you won't see my site anywhere.  This is mainly because I just started and the people I am competing with are among some of the most skilled real estate SEOs on the planet.

Attention SEOs !!!!!

If you are one of these SEO guys that is not in the contest and have any ideas, I would love to hear them.

So after I went and searched on Active Rain for people have the same idea to post usinfg Active Rain blogs, I noticed that I was not listed.  So I am back adding more content to see if I can't beef it up a little.  I must tell you how ever, the compeition is feirce.  I can not believe the amount of people going after the prize.
