commercial real estate

I’ve started to teach myself search engine optimization, which I’ve quickly learned is clearly the clearly the key to generating commercial real estate leads from the web. I imagine not many brokers think about this so while I’m a neophyte, I hope I can get a little better doing this than anyone else in my niche field.

It seems random, but I’m working to get an site called http://iceclothing.net to the top of the ranks for the search phrase “ice clothing.” Don’t ask…

If you’re a commercial real estate professional, try this commercial real estate custom search from google. searches 9 sites, including: businessweek.com, forbes.com, wsj.com, realestatejournal.com, propertyline.com

Google Base is in beta. On full launch, and with some minor tweaking, it could be the commercial real estate category killer. Really a three way killer: it has all the functionality of craigslist, ebay, and classified ads in one site.

There’s next to no property in there, but give it some time…it’s only in beta.

You can create your own Google base home page and Google will also make sure whatever you put in there is search able on Google. You can mass-upload your listings. You can sell stuff. You can tag everything. wow.
