I have not done an analysis on it and am simply providing some thoughts. If you feel I am wrong, cool. Just consider this some random musings from an overworked, slightly knowledgable FOGE. (Friend of Geek Estate)

Lets call this, “If this were my site, I MIGHT think about…

1) Domain. A keyword rich domain would have been better.
2)Domain Age. Nothing you can do here, but a big deal (for you) you are under 5 years old. Your competitors are 8-10. This may be a domain age issue. It may be a LINK AGE issue… didn’t check.
3)Domains Again. Because your URL is Icycle… and your titles dont include Leavenworth, your URLS dont either. FOrced with this problem, I MAY add Leavenworth real estate to my permalinks..
4)Titles. It appears (to me) that very few if any of your blog posts have yor keyword Leavenworth Real Estate in the title? A simple change of your blog name in Allinone would fix this.
5) Dupe Content. WP has a taxonomy problem. When you create a page, WP creates a category page, date page, author page,archive page, etc. It APPEARS as if all these except category are being indexed. Multiple URLS to the same content is dupe. Just check it.
6) Pagination. It looks as if, not only did you not increase your pagination, but you removed the default older.newer pagination… Plenty of plugins to fix this. Right now you have linked categories from your sidebar. This is a site-wide link to your category page. You then noindexed your category page? How are your pages getting crawled except sitemap.xml? This may be fine. I am prolly missing something, but the structure seems like it might create a crawler issue… this would take some work, but well worth it.
7) Drew is 100% correct on his external link statement. Rands article is 6 months old. The Google PR change was announced 1 month ago. In addition, Rand would NEVER suggest linking from your sidebar. Those are site-wide links. Heres a guideline. If the link is valuable to your readers, keep it. But get it out of the side bar.
7)Image Optimization… Didn’t understand the pattern here… may be okay. Just didn’t see the alt optimization…
Category Descriptions…Do you have them? Keyword rich Category descriptions?
9)URL Stopwords..You dont need to put every work in your title into the permalink… I would consider removing stopwords.
10) Did I say your blog was great? I meant it. Way better than most I have seen. Be Proud.

CAUTION: These are just musings from a bystander. I am not an SEO, (although I do stay at Holiday Inns)and EVERY SINGLE one of these points may be wrong. Some of this stuff is really nit-picky, but you seem like you care… so I thought I would mention.

Good Luck!

Some thoughts:

2. I actually do have landing pages for each of the searches but I’m not sure if you can get to them through the framed IDX. Instead they are from links within neighborhood pages like those for Cashmere and Kahler Glen. (You have a great point, I just wonder if IDX Pro has that capability.)

3. Some guy named Rand has a counter-argument. (yes,I read SEOmoz regularly.. doesn’t every real estate agent?)

I did pair down my list to the best links in the bunch, but I do think from a UI aspect it is important for visitors to be able to use me as a local resource and go straight from the home page off to reliable authoritative site. (also seems like a good way to get keywords on all 194 pages without being too spammy.)

4. A quick peek on the Google Adwords keyword tool shows that not many folks are looking for any terms even related to “Leavenworth home worth, home values or home prices”. I also seem to do pretty well for those search terms when you look at all the neighborhoods.

A better question (one that I will address in an upcoming post) : How do I get more visitors to my site to visit that page? I recently trimmed down the number of boxes to fill out on the form, but honestly it seems like more people pick up the phone and call me.

So here’s my big question for Drew or anyone else who wants to tackle it? Why is my site getting beat on the SERPS?

Keyword spamming by my competitors? Age of site?

It doesn’t seem like it’s the number of links or the amount of content…

Once again thanks for doing this… and feel free to pick on my site or use it as an example at any presentation you choose to.
