Greetings, My name is Travis Walters. I recently implemented a real estate website for my client called lukebouman.com. He specializes in "Holland Michigan Real Estate". We are rank #2 with that keyword, in my local google datacenter. We would love to improve our rankings for "West Michigan Real Estate" and eventually "Michigan Real Estate". I was just wondering if somebody could look over the website and make a list of suggestions. Here are some things that we have done already: - RSS Feeds - Directory Submission - Resource Directory Creation (directory.cfm) - Applied keywords to pages - Tweaked our title tags - Wrote Press Releases - Made a YouTube video, google video Let me know what I missed? Thanks!!! Sincerely, Travis Walters

You did a pretty awesome job. Congratulations! To rank well for "michigan real estate" you would need a lot of content focused on michigan as opposed to holland, michigan. here is one thing you can do... create a subdomain michigan.lukebouman.com and add a lot of michigan specific content. this will rank alongside www.lukebouman.com so you will have 2 or more results in the serps. good luck
