Charleston Real Estate is on a distinguished road
Default Search Engines & Content

Alright, I put my site up for review and everyone told me there was too much content too much content. However, I am listed as 7th on yahoo and MSN. Don't search engines eat up lots of content. All I did was blabber on about Charleston and include the phrase Charleston Real Estate whenever I could as well as other key words. Does that affect my ranks at all or did I do something else to get high in the search?

Thanks,
Sam

Default Re: Search Engines & Content

Your home page has too much content. Your site as a whole can't have too much! I have kept reducing my home page over the past year & am #1 in MSN with my oldest site with several kw's & used to be #1 on Yahoo until I changed my domain name. I'm still #6 on Yahoo but it's under my old domain, while my new one keeps creeping up.

When a home page is too busy it can turn off potential web surfers and although one way to get those surfers is to be tops in search engines, if you don't keep them on your site because they get bored or confused from your home page, they'll move on to a more user friendly site.

So having a very large web page isn't what got you those positions in search engines and might actually turn off actual home buyers/sellers.
