SEO Tactics On School Info

[Mark Z]

Gerry,
I would be interested in seeing some school pages also, maybe you can tell us which website, so we can see what you wrote.

Gerry would you mind pming me an example of the school pages you are talking about?

I don't think I should, now that I've posted the numbers.

Is there some other way I can help you, though? Perhaps I can tell you what kind of information is on the pages?

Main page:

[city] Area Schools

-paragraph: overview of the schools section
-paragraph: overview/promotion of the [city] schools situation

-bullets: links to subpages (internal pages describing different ISD's)
-bullets: links to other local resources not covered in our section

-paragraph: more promotional content about local schools, with a supporting external link and a quote

Then the subpages are populated with some light description of each ISD within the realtor's service area. I just went to those ISD's websites and researched what kinds of focuses they have, what kinds of challenges they face, accolades they've won, etc. And then as I said, there are snippets with listings of homes in those service areas.

I am not at all supprised by the numbers that SEOgerry gave. People search school info all the time.

That's ok, thanks gerry... what you've just described makes enough sense to add it to my long term web dev project list.

I think it's a good idea to provide local school information, statistics, and homes for sale near a particular school. My IDX provider created a way for end users to actually do just what I mentioned above. All they have to do is pick a county, then a particular school and the IDX will instantly show all homes for sale in that area....

Its always good to think of something from the inside out. You might find a niche.

However. I would spend my time with the things that make the most money.
