The Reals.com network

You can visit their real estate agent directory.

I believe the reals.com network of sites has pretty much dominated real estate websites but is paying for links on most of their sites worth it?

Most of their sites don't have clean URLs & I'm really wondering if many of those pages are passing PR.. I've only found one of the sites that after 3 levels still had PR.

Are many people getting visitors just from their regular traffic even though it might not be a PR boost?

I look at it this way when it comes to getting links I know that it is high value because it's real estate related but if I'm giving a link on my homepage & the page I'm on isn't passing PR or maybe not even indexed is it really worth it?

Yes, I agree with you. reals.com network is not good enough because the website guy run on other directories such as directorygambling.com, vietnamcircle.com, jewelry5.com, paintergallery.com, directoryinsurance.com, thailandpage.com and more. Then what you guy will get more good quality websites from one man. Now he just sell SPAM package of tons of the banned by Google websites at discount price!!! Anybody still pay reals.com and its network?

Well -

I just let my reals.com links expire. I went from #1 on my keywords to # 5 to #7.

I DO NOT , repeat, DO NOT think letting those links expire account for 100% of my drop. It is mostly my fault for getting SEO lazy.

However, I can't help but wonder if it had something to do with it.

BTW, I get very little traffic from it. I mainly do it for SEO inbound links.
