Every once in a while I come across a new SEO tool that works exactly how I want it to and it opens the door for a lot of great ideas.  This is one of those tools.  The people over at TagCrowd.com have put together a simple way to convert any webpage, copied text, or document into a visualized tag cloud.  Tag clouds are really just a visual depiction of the word content of a site, the more times a word is repeated the larger the word appears. 

 

What this allows you to do is take a large body of text, or an entire website at a time, and instantly generate a visual representation of all the content.  Generate a tag cloud of your own website to analyze.  When optimizing for a specific search term it’s important that those words show up prominently in your tag cloud.  Notice in the tag cloud to the right of our website the most prominent words are “real”, “estate” and “SEO”, we are actively optimizing for the search term “real estate SEO”.  If your desired keywords aren’t showing up prominently, reworking your content for a higher keyword density (Using your keywords in your content more often) makes sense.

 

Generate a tag cloud for your top ranked competitors websites.  Are there prominent words showing up that you haven’t thought about optimizing for?  Hope you have fun with this tool like I have, the usefulness of it extends even beyond SEO.

I'm a big believer of "raising the free line".  This is the idea of creating as much value loaded information as possible and then just giving it away for free.  Why?  The Internet has dramatically changed consumers expectation of a valuable product and we're ahead of the game; and maybe a little bit crazy. 

All cards on the table, my goal is to create enough trust to build strong working relationships with visitors who will ultimately see the value of the services we offer, or at least have a glowing recommendation to pass along to their professional friends about all the great information I'm just giving away.

With these thoughts in mind I am eager to give the first look at some of the free market reports we have started compiling for very specific online real estate markets.  Some of our competitors are charging $100-200 and more for the same information.  It's my goal to provide the most comprehensive and detailed competitive marketing report available to real estate professionals, period.

Take a look at the Chicago Illinois market report.
