Dancing with the SEO Stars
Posted on December 2, 2006
Filed Under Real Estate News
Our star performers are not dancers or SEO (search engine optimization) experts…. This is an example of what happens when a handful of real estate agents get together on a forum, left to their own devices, to try to figure out the wicked ways of the world wide web, search engines and their real estate blogs.
Roxanne: This blog is driving me nuts… every time I get one thing working something else breaks. I don’t recall having this much trouble when I first set it up
Ken: you are just on a learning curve, keep working on it and you will get the hang of how to use it, as they say practice makes perfect
Roxanne: Learning curve? It’s more like I’m taking one step forward and two steps back. What’s the diagram for that learning curve look like?
Glen: Sounds like a Cha Cha to me
Roxanne: And I used to love the spot dances…
Glen: I found a plug-in for social bookmarking - but I can’t get it to work.
Max: I think this guy is trying to start a blog war with me
Gene: Don’t answer him, it takes two to Tango, you know?
Roxanne: this is what I get for taking five months off blogging and thinking I could Waltz right back into it and just pick up where I left off
New Agent: I just started and feel like I am stepping on my own toes.
Roxanne: I know how ya feel, just when you think you got the Swing of things…
Mack: Has this thread turned into "Dancing With The SEO Stars"?
Roxanne: SEO Stars, yah right! That reminds me though, I need to make some time to hustle up some new inbound links
New Agent: This might be a little offbeat but.. I received this email today from a company that said they could get my site to the top of the search engines
Toby: Sounds a bit hokey to me. Anybody know how to get anchor links to work? My link format doesn’t seem to be working..
Glen: You put the pound sign in, take that backslash out, put the anchor name in.. then you link it all about!
Eric: Now THAT’S hokey. Why do I get the feeling this is the blind leading the blind? Anybody else hoping LSU makes it to the Rosebowl?
Bob: Just remember when getting those inbound links, it’s quality over quantity. There’s no Quickstep to stardom.
Matt: Words to the wise right there.. think outside the box!
Roxanne: I finally got my theme to work again.. Looks like it’s time 2 dance! Wait till you see my next blog post!
…
It’s a good thing we know more about real estate then we do about SEO or dancing for that matter. And yes, I did embellish the conversation a teenie weenie bit :) Regardless..
A big hello goes out to all my dancing friends and any other Ballroom and Latin dancers out there that end up reading this. And, a big thanks to my real estate friends for all the help and for making this continuously frustrating experience, somewhat entertaining.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…. Real Estate.

Great post and very funny. Hopefully, people will see that real estate agents have a humorous side to them. Love this post.
I loved it. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
That was very funny Roxanne and it show some very creative post
Thanks, I was bored so I mixed all those threads together. My favorite part is glen singing the hokey pokey for the html code
Lol. How long did you spend on that post?
Brilliant. I love the YouTube. Now let’s go sell some properites.
I just stumbled onto this post… how funny. And, it only took me a year and two months to find this… Thanks for thinking of me Rox!
Given the current housing market, we all need to become the best we can at our real estate SEO skills. After $3000 with a big-time SEO firm - no results. Single handed, rookie Real Estate Agent - much better results
