Progress of Gilberthomes.com

Well, I just submitted gilberthomes.com to Google a couple of weeks ago and so far I've had 30 search engine hits.  My best performing keyword is "gilbert homes," followed by "gilbert homes for sale," and "gilbert az homes."  For whatever reason, Yahoo is giving me really good listings for those terms, while Google is putting me further down the page for those keywords that I'm really going after.  Google has, however, listed me high for queries related to information about the Town of Gilbert, Gilbert schools, Gilbert recreation, and things of that nature.  My plan of attack for gilberthomes.com is two-fold:

  1. Exchange links with local, Gilbert-based companies and non-Gilbert-based real estate companies. 
  2. Build a lot of good content.  To do this, I'm lining up bloggers (I've found a mortgage broker to write) and I'm writing positive articles about local businesses
Anyway, I've got a long road ahead because I'll probably have to start getting 30 search engine hits per day before I start getting any real leads.  Initial results are promising though, and the good thing is that realtors love to exchange links, so that should be the easy part.  Initially, I thought it would take me 90 days to start getting leads, but now I think it may only take 30 more days (I guess that makes 50 total).
