This is bad news today. Why?

All I hear about from real estate folk is they all know the monster called Zillow. I don't know anyone that has the budget and cash horde to go up against that one.

But let's go with what I see as a local that I know about.

He's using an old fashioned print campaign in his market. Every month in the areas he covers there's a two or one page color flyer with homes that are for sale in the area. I also see his ads on bus benches near apartments. Great way to target those that want to get a home.

Are you doing the old fashioned work? Going up against Zillow is not a good idea.

PPC is good way to promote your website.

Running a real-estate business isn't cheap. But if you do it well, you can become a billionaire like Donald Trump, the Republican contender for becoming President of the United States.

Seo and smo are best way to promotion of real estate business.

That's what folk that sell SEO/SMO write.

I just ran into a RE person and they now have their own affiliate mini-site with their Zillow listings.

I know this is mostly an US site but only a foolish RE person would ignore the gorillas.

Hi! I’m sure that the best platform for the real estate website is WordPress.
