    Hello all dear people on DP.

    I am starting a serious business of online Real Estate Website.

    I am aware of general ways of marketing like online ads and all.

    but can you please help me with more specific, practical, and proper channels to market my online real estate website?

    It is a property portal of agents, builders, property seekers and individuals.

    Thank you in advance

    best regards,

    Why not try google addwords?It's a effective and quick way for you to promote your business and attract
    more potential customers.And do not forget to improve the quality of website.As to website related to real
    estate,something should be especially paid attention to:
    1.the contents of your website.Whether there are many exciting pictures on real estate development condition.
    2.Whether the developers qualify the developing and whether they are trustworthy.
    3.How can the customer beilieve you?For things such as this kind,many guys would like to see it by themselves
    but not just by the website.You'd better find some ways.
    4.How many precious or valuable resources do you on earth have?
    Therefore,hope you can pay more attention to above.Good luck.

    Some suggestions are as follows:
    1. Tell all of your friends and family about your site, word of mouth advertising is a free method of advertising and can be very powerful, depending on how many people can hear about it through this method.
    2. Make sure to submit your site to all of the major search engines, you cannot get search engine traffic without submitting it there.
    3. Find focused discussions on your precise topic, better yet a subtopic within your topic, that you have knowledge in to share with other people, who in return will let you place a signature link, or list your site as you talk about your subject (such as Yahoo answers).
    4. Find ways to network including forum posting with relevant content.

    Those are a few ways, #3 is good.

    If you want to do it whitehat, then I would suggest google adwords. If you wanted to do it blackhat, then I suggest craigslist. In other words, you'll be spending alot of money on both since they both cost money to do. Adwords takes some skills, and you might lose alot of money. Craigslist takes some skill to a certain degree, but you won't lose as much once you get the hang of it since all you would have to do is post different ads.

    Just as a heads up, anything real estate or mortgage related will be very hard to do. Just look at the competition in the SERPS. Very tough Niche and marketing is expensive.

    You can post on craigslist if your business is about real estate in the US. You can also try geo-targeting - designing pages for a specific area or city. Those are easier to promote and rank on Google.

    i think you can promote to google groups or yahoo groups but you must find the real estate group. the alternative is google adwords. before use it you must research about "the right keyword", so you can save your money for your website campaign.

    Hi Superstan

    Real estate sites are typicall candidates for SEO. Adwords and online advertising in that field can be extremely expensive hence the reason the expenditure for an SEO expert is worth the while.

    I happen to specialize on SEO for real estate sites. If you want examples send me a PM or an email to:


    Regards

    Write a press release and then submit it to one of the free or low cost press release services. You want one that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg and submits your release to other press release sites. :)

    How about you post an ad on our site. We're starting a feature package for start-up businesses where you'll automatically be featured in our weekly publication to be distributed to over 500,000 readers. There will be an online version of the publication too which will be a year's long directory listing.

    You may wish to develop a marketing blueprint for yourself. Identify the methods of marketing you will undertake and then stick with the plan. Here are some methods you may wish to consider above the 101 SEO stuff...

    1. Create a viral report with your site's URL / contact info and give it away on your site (and submit to free ebook sites etc).

    2. Do the same with videos. You can now use software that creates videos via a text based source (text articles) and have these posted to many video sites like youtube.

    3. Write a series of articles and post them to ezinearticles.com and the other popular article directories.

    Good luck - and if you require help, PM.

    Look out for real-estate related questions on Yahoo Answers and then post highly-informative and grammatically-correct answers, citing your website as the source.

    Try adwords for instant results but have to spend constant sum of amount and its unpredictable too, but I recommend to do things aiming for long term, which is good for your site. Blogs, directory submissions, classifieds, social media promotions and forums. Begin with Keyword research and find local property agents and your competitors and follow some of their strategy and go for the launch.

    Cheers,
