Want to sell out your townhome community in just six months?  Launch a marketing program with a blog and search engine optimization, then discount your homes to compete with area foreclosures, throw in some banner ads and email marketing and you too could see success. The recent six month sell out at Circle 75 townhomes is due to their aggressive online program of targeting the right key words (think search phrases) and increased website traffic.

Have you thought about launching a blog, but are still struggling with the ROI (return on investment), well we can help.  Here are the metrics you Read the rest of this entry »

Homebuilders and developers – are you seeking ways to increase traffic to your website? If not, read no further! If so, here are three reasons you should have a blog.

1. Increased traffic to your website due to the SEO (search engine optimization) created by blogging. Increased traffic will come due to higher search engine results as well as a trickle of referred, highly targeted traffic from the blogs. Your main website can then concentrate on turning visitors into homebuyers.

2. More of your main website’s pages will appear in search results because blog posts will link to secondary pages within your website.

3. Reputation Management – You can put out fires fast. Not only can you “drown out” negative vibes in the cybersphere, you can constructively address potential customers’ concerns, maybe even put a positive spin on potential liabilities by showing a “real” human face away from the corporate web site.

If you find this inspiring, contact us and let’s work together to put the Internet to work for you. We teach classes on social media for home builders as well as blogging for builders and more.

The number one question that homebuilders ask us is, “who will manage the blog?” Your homebuilding or community blog could be moderated by someone within your homebuilding organization — your sales director or marketing director. Or you can outsource this task to the expert Bloggers at Top Builder Blogs, we are finding that this is a very popular option! Contact us today to discuss launching a blog and ongoing blog posting and moderation. Top Builder Blogs will build, moderate and maintain your Builder Blog to keep you ahead of the competition while maximizing you SEO.

Looking for ways to take your Internet marketing to the next level? The Top Builder Blogs team will be at the International Builder Show in Orlando, Florida next week (Feb. 12 – 15). We are making appointments with homebuilders and developers to discuss blogging, SEO and other facets of Internet marketing. Learn how launching a blog can help you enhance key words and why having key words is important for search engine marketing.

Just a thought for the day.  Without search engine optimization a Web site or a Blog is just like putting a billboard in the desert.  If you want your buyers to find you, OPTIMIZE your site.  Optimization is the map that brings homebuyers to your site!

Blogging is a great way to increase traffic to your web site. A blog built with optimization is the best way to increase your website’s traffic.  The e-marketing professionals at Top Builder Blogs have a track record of building blogs and driving traffic to builder and developer’s web sites.

I was telling someone about the Top Builder Blog service the other day and the question came up. What is a Blog? Many of us techies forget sometimes that some of the online lingo has not reached everyone in the Real Estate and Construction Industry.

Essentially, a blog is a journal or log that is displayed and available on the web…Web Log.. shortened to BLOG. Get more information about blogs by visiting the listing at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. CLICK HERE to read more about the history and meaning of the word BLOG.

How can that apply to builders and developers? Many home building and new project development websites are already featuring News and Press Releases on the site. In many cases, these features on the web site are not being found and indexed on the web. This is great content. It could and should be of interest to those looking to buy a new home in the price ranges and locations the builder has to offer. A blog is a great way to get this information out there on the web so that people looking and doing their research for this info can find it.

Creating a blog is easier than launching a Web site. The best part is that you do not have to understand html or Internet programming to be able to start a blog. If you can email, you can blog. It is really that simple!

Builders and developers will benefit from increased Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for their Web site from blog traffic and Google rankings. More and more companies are starting to blog for business. In fact, Internet studies show that 63 percent of Internet users read or participate on blogs – up from 54 percent last year.

Blogs provide an opportunity for builders and developers to interact with current homeowners and potential homeowners. Social media provides corporate America the opportunity to be transparent – to be real. Your audience will forgive you if you are not perfect. They will not forgive you if you are not honest.
