Google's (necessary) Penguin Update.
If you woke up a few weeks ago and noticed your website disappeared off Google's page one... you're not alone. More than 700,000 websites were zapped by Google's latest round of algorithmic changes. PANDA has several rounds of updates and the finishing touch was Google's PENGUIN Update which started the beginning of Google's enforcement of their famous Webmaster Guidelines.
In today's on-line business ecosystem, it's getting harder and harder to stay on top of the changes that impact your visibility and ranking on the search engines. Template websites from MonsterTemplates.com and others like Real Estate Webmasters, Hoop Jumper or Point 2 Agent are simply NOT the way to go anymore. The old axiom, you GET what you pay for applies here. Short cuts like buying 10,000 links from the link farms are the fastest way to get you on Google's radar screen and it's also the fastest way to get them to drop you from their natural page search results. 5 Things About Google's Penguin
More than 1 million websites were beaten up pretty badly in 2010 and again in 2011 by Google's PANDA updates. As of May 2012, Google's Penguin update went even further and began enforcing it's Google Webmaster Guidelines.

What Should I Budget for Real Estate SEO Costs? Depending on your market, meaning simply: If you're a REALTOR® in a high traffic, over the top competitive market like Miami Real Estate, you are going to pay 50% more than if you were a REALTOR® in Albuquerque, NM. There are only (10) positions on the first page of Google. So it goes without saying that a search for the phrase "albuquerque real estate" is going to cost a lot less for real estate search engine optimization than the phrase, "miami real estate." Why? Google is only going to have (10) natural search positions for real estate search results for any market. So it's not surprising to see SEO costs for "miami" run you $5,000 - $9,000 a month whereas the same search term for say "homes for sale in albuquerque," would run anywhere from $2,100 - $3,000 a month. Pay Per Click (PPC) -- The NEW Money Pit Pay Per Click can be summed up in one word: EXPENSIVE. Do the math. Suppose you're a REALTOR in San Francisco and you decide to purchase several search terms. 1.) san francisco real estate, 2.) san francisco homes for sale and 3.) san francisco real estate agents. All of them are top (3) search phrases. But if you go to Yahoo!, (formerly Overture) or Google's AdWords you can shell out over $8,000 a month in Pay Per Click charges. TIP: Before you spend one dime on Pay Per Click, get this free report: The 5 Things You Must Do Now so you can learn what terms to use and what Paid search programs will help you increase your leads even on a modest monthly budget of $500 or less.
