I would say one of the most important points I have learnt is to make the key phrases and description as specific and as targeted as possible (as mentioned in a comment above). That way, you are only getting very targetted traffic where people clicking on your link are those specifically looking for the service you describe. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;use of generic terms may get you people visiting the site but it also means getting lots of untargetted traffic and wasting money on clicks you don’t necessarily want.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Investment Property</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 08 Dec 2007 13:55:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623223</link><description>Traffic=Results - no doubt about that.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">South Florida Realtor</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:44:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623221</link><description>I have noticed that there is an increasing awareness among even non-techies that you can't just build and website and they will come. People seem to realize more that they have to market their website.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Adam</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Oct 2007 21:44:09 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623222</link><description>One thing I'd like to add. Companies that sell real estate websites often give newbie agents the impression by buying their website, they'll immediate start getting traffic/leads from it. Which of course, is never the case.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Las Vegas Realtor</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:31:31 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623220</link><description>Sure you would and it would be more specific than real estate. However, you can do geo-targeting two ways:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1- by geo-keywords&lt;br&gt;2- by geo-settings&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So you can create two different groups based on that. This also allows you to do some split testing as well.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Vlad - the owner of Go Beyond </dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2007 16:00:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623219</link><description>Well 2 bedroom condo seems too general for real estate.  Wouldn't you want to geo-target?  Something like [city] two bedroom condo?  I like the idea of targeting more specific words, I imagine the bids are much lower.  And driving traffic to listings is a much better idea than a homepage.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Real Estate Utah County</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:22:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623218</link><description>Jordan,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It all depends. Your example is is to general. I really like to go more descriptive than that:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;two bedroom condo&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your example is meant for geo-targeting, however if I advise my clients to drive traffic through PPC to particular listings instead of general pages on their website.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;However (I going here a little ahead) we always try to create a funnel that results in increasing the "mailing" list- that where your bread and butter is.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Vlad - the owner of Go Beyond </dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2007 07:37:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Your Website Is Useless If It Has No Visitors: PPC Advertising and Real Estate</title><link>http://www.go-beyond-mls.com/ppc-advertising-in-real-estate/#comment-1623217</link><description>Great info!  Hopefully I'm not jumping the gun on a future article but what keywords do you suggest bidding on?  Here are some quick ideas I had:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[city or county] real estate&lt;br&gt;[city or county] homes for sale&lt;br&gt;homes for sale in [city or county]&lt;br&gt;[city or county] listings&lt;br&gt;[city or county] mls listings&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Any others?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Real Estate Utah County</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 11 Oct 2007 17:40:21 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
