    Submit your site to google, then create backlinks by commenting Dofollow Blogs or Forums, and wait google to rank you site.

    There are a lot of people that are willing to help, just make sure you choose wisely.

    Anyways, what are you looking to target? Keywords or Keyword phrases and so-on?

    I will give you a few suggestions...

    Information Architecture
    I would reconsider your Information Architecture (IA) - URLs, site structure, site navigation and interlinking of pages, breadcrumbing, etc... The current IA leaves a lot to be desired. This is the foundation for all that you will build on your site and a shakey foundation will cause you lots of problems in the future.

    Your URLs are old style dynamic URLs with LOTS of query string parameters... This is going to lead to all kinds of issues with indexing, duplicate content problems, and ranking issues. In this day and age you should be using URL rewriting to make the URLs appear as nice, clean, keyword rich URLs. NO QUERY STRINGS. Query string parameters are an SEO nightmare.

    The search engines will see the following two URLs as different pages:

    http://www.example.com/?city=XXXX&state=YYYY
    http://www.example.com/?state=YYYY&city=XXXX

    yet they will render the exact same content in almost every web application out there. Because with query strings, order typically doesn't matter. The code simply says, "give me the value of state from the URL query string. now give me the value of city from the URL query string. now do something with it." Applications typically do not say "Verify state is the first query string parameter in the URL. Verify city is the 2nd query string parameter in the URL. If so then render page. If not then throw an error or 301 redirect to the URL with them in the correct order." So stay away from query string parameters. Besides you WANT keyword rich URLs.

    Honestly your site seems as if it has no clear structure. As I navigate through your site I should be able to know where I am in your site's 'tree' structure at any point in time... But again because of the ugly, URLs riddled w/query string parameters, lack of bread crumbs etc. there are no visual clues to tell what page I'm actually on. This not only affects SEO but is a bad user experience.

    Your site currently is not a very crawlable site. By that I mean that if you had thousands of listings in each city in each state, the search engines are not going to be able to find those individual pages. I cannot find anywhere on your site where you have links to a page dedicated to each state, or links to a page dedicated to each city, or a link dedicated to each property listing.

    All I see is a big Quick Search box to get to those pages... And that search box is going to be a dead end road block for the search engine's crawler. The search engines are not going to fill out your search box and press GO. Unfortunately, search engines follow links to discover content on new pages... they don't fill out forms.

    To make your site crawlable you are going to have to have links preferably on the home page (at least on the sitemap page) to pages for each of the states. The state pages then will each need to have links to pages for each of the cities in that state. The city pages will need to have links to a pagenated list of all of the listing in that city.

    Yes you can submit a sitemap.xml to get them to find your URLs. But are you going to do this every time you add a property? You want the engines to be able to crawl your site naturally to find those pages as well as via a sitemap.

    I would want a page dedicated to each state such as www.anytimeproperty.com/<insert state name>/ or for example www.anytimeproperty.com/chhattisgarh/. This state page would have unique facts about the state, news about the real estate in that state, etc. as well as links to a city page for every city in that state. If there are too many cities then you will need to pagenate the links to the cities listed. I would have a breadcrumb on the state page for Real Estate (Home) -> Chhattisgarh.

    I would want a page dedicated to each city such as www.anytimeproperty.com/<insert state name>/<insert city name>/ or for example www.anytimeproperty.com/chhattisgarh/ambikapur/. This city page would have unique facts about the city , news about the real estate in that city, etc. as well as links to pagenated groups of listings in that city. I would have a breadcrumb on the city page for Real Estate (Home) -> Chhattisgarh -> Ambikapur.

    I would want a page dedicated to each listing with a URL like www.anytimeproperty.com/<insert state name>/<insert city name>/<insert street address>-<insert property ID>/ or for example www.anytimeproperty.com/chhattisgarh/ambikapur/123-somestreet-XXXXX/. I would have a breadcrumb on the listing page for Real Estate (Home) -> Chhattisgarh -> Ambikapur -> 123 Somestreet (Property ID XXXXX).

    Now you have keyword rich URLs. Users can actually see where in the site they are... If they want to pick a city in the same state they can simply chop everything off in the URL after the state and go to for example www.anytimeproperty.com/chhattisgarh/ or they can simpy navigate there using the breadcrumb.

    Canonicalization Issues
    You have canonical issues which will lead to duplicate content and split link equity. I can access every page on your site with www or without. The engines see these as different web pages because they rank URLs. Your home page I can access 4 ways:

    http://anytimeproperty.com/
    http://anytimeproperty.com/index.php
    http://www.anytimeproperty.com/
    http://www.anytimeproperty.com/index.php

    You need to fix the canonical issues with 301 redirects. If you don't understand what I'm talking about when I say canonical issues or how to correct it, do an advanced forum search here for my username, keyword="canonical issues", and last 2 weeks... Look for my responses on threads asking questions about www. You'll find lots of posts where I explain it.

    On-Page SEO
    I don't think your pages are going to rank well at all they way they are currently designed. They might look cool to a user but they are not designed to rank.

    The <title> element is THE most important on-page ranking factor. Your <title> on every page is targeting too many keyword phrases and they are not focused enough. Your home page should be targeting the broadest, head terms that you want your site to rank for. I can't tell if your web site is for all of India... or only Chennai India. You need to decide one way or another and focus your <title>, <h1>, <h2>s, and content of the home page toward whichever you decide.

    Not sure if Chennai is a city or a state. I don't see it in the state dropdown so I'm assuming it's a city. If so an equivalent US real estate <title> would be "Real Estate Property United States - Leading Real Estate Portal - Properties for Sale in Chicago United States" which honestly would be a terrible list of targeted keyword phrases for a single page.

    Do you really think people are going to search for the keyword phrases with the word "portal" in it when looking for you site? I doubt very seriously they would. I would not include "portal" or "leading" in my home page <title>. It only dilutes the importance of the other words in the <title> like "real estate" and "India".

    Every page on your site should be targeting a different keyword phrase (or 2-3 phrases if they are short and VERY similar). The most important one should appear first... and if applicable, the 2nd most important phrase should appear 2nd... etc.

    Every page should have a single <h1>. It's the 2nd most important on-page ranking factor. You pages have NONE... You really need an <h1> on every page. It should reinforce the <title> by targeting the primary keyword phrase from the <title> or a slight variation of that phrase.

    Your site should have multiple <h2>s. The <h2> is the 3rd most important on-page ranking factor. These should be used to reinforce your <title> element. I try to include keyword the primary keyword phrase or slight variations (or the secondary & terciary phrases if applicable) from the <title> in as many <h2>s as possible. Your home page for instance has multiple components or sections like "Builder Gallery", "Project Gallery", "Featured Projects", etc. They should be converted to <h2>s like:

    <h2>Real Estate Builder Gallery</h2>
    <h2>Real Estate Property Gallary</h2>
    <h2>Featured Real Estate Projects</h2>
    <h2>Latest Property Listing in Chennai</h2> (or whatever)...

    Hopefully this makes sense.

    I could go on, but it's turning into an epic post... and I need a beer and food.

    Ciao!

    You can do basic onpage optimization from yourself. Then you will have to start link building. Forum posting and blog commenting is a good start. Try to do some directory submission also.

    I have seen your site i.e. http://anytimeproperty.com/ and found it is not optimized anyways. So before going to run any other activity, optimize your site first. If you have started any other offline activity such as smo and all before doing the optimization of the site then it not give any improvement in traffic and ranking as well.

    SEO is not fix minutes games, so you consult it with some seo company/professional and he definitely gives you the suggestion about how you will optimized the site.

    I have been doing SEO for some time and I thought I knew a lot. However, I have learnt quite a few things from this post. Thanks a lot to Canonical.

    Apart from the on site SEO issues, the basic SEO practice is to do some directory submissions, get a few do follow backlinks from related forums, and to get some do follow backlinks (an easy way is to get links through do follow comments).

    There are many linkbuilders in DP who do directory submission at very cheap rates. I have used some of them in the past and found most of them to be good. If you could spare a few bucks, go on and hire one of them (you will save time which you can invest into something more useful).

    Find forums related to your niche, and start contributing to the forum with your site's link in the signature.

    There a lot of sites which offer do follow blog lists for free. If you can look well, you might find a list based on your very niche. Here is a list which covers do follow sites of the niche "real estate": http://www.dofollowblogs.com/index.php?c=4

    Also, you can try link exchanging, but it is little time consuming and does not actually add a lot of value since the links are not one way.
