Google is Our Friend – Yours, Too

It’s not hard to come across ForSaleByOwner.com: our name and our web address pretty much say it all. As Google tightens its search algorithms, that helps us -- and you.

Thanks to our deep well of features, how-to’s, tools and listings. ForSaleByOwner.com already has the gravitational pull to be top ranked in by all search engines for all ‘by owner’ keywords and phrases. 

Still,  it has been frustrating to watch Google, one of the largest and ostensibly one of the most sophisticated companies in the world, supposedly run by some of the smartest people in the world,  react so slowly those gaming its search systems.

Google finally decided to swat away ‘content farms’ that churn ‘stories’ that are little more than the day’s most popular search terms swirled with a few prepositions and verbs.

Justin, our search guru, explains why our competitors with cutesy names are more likely to be hurt by Google’s more stringent standards: Google rewards links. ForSaleByOwner.com has more than 4 million links drawing others to our site.

Google examines the value of those links according to page rank and other factors. We’ve got pretty impressive linkers in our lineup – just look at our press coverage, for instance. 

ForSaleByOwner.com gets over 600,000 visits from search engines monthly. That’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: the more visits you get from search, the higher you rank in search, so the more visits you get. But, it works for us because we’re the real deal.

All of this helps our customers because it fulfills our promise to bring you as many buyers as possible. 

Let the FSBO fur fly: Google’s algorithms recognize the real thing when they see it.
