Nothing much left for me to add, but I thought it would maybe, just maybe, help HREG (and others wishing to follow his style) if I leave the STFU link:

@Jim wonderful site.
@HREG, my name is Mert from Chicago. Feel free to google me. Real estate broker/SEO consultant. Just in case u think I am fake.
#1 I got here because of someone retweeting Greg Boser tweet about Cousin Roy post about you.
#2 since Greg who is followed by most search engines and other SEOs tweeted about your spam, Matt Cutts’ team shall visit your web assets and more than likely the SEO company you refer to.
#3 first rule in professional SEO. You always STFU about your spam. RIP.

Link building is something relevant to any agent/broker who is focused on improving their SEO, so I think a post on creative link building strategies would be great – all you man!

SeoMoz is not the authority on Google’s guidelines. If you want a real answer, post your link strategy on Matt’s blog. I’m sure he’ll agree that there is nothing creative at all about your link building. Try reading Jim’s stuff about SM. Far more organic and creative than writing checks and trading links.

Aloha Hawaii Real Estate Reporter. As you know, I’ve contacted you regarding getting links to my site from yours previously. I did this by offering to put your TV content on my blog. This is how I generate links to our site.

You responded back asking if we would be willing to buy advertising on your TV show. Of course advertising on your show would be great exposure, but to be honest, I have a $0 SEM budget (I did beg my broker, though, and he said maybe if we sell something on Oahu).

So now I’m flying out to Oahu (using my miles and staying in one of our listings) to meet with you and your broker about accepting our leads. Part of the requirements for servicing our leads is a link back to our website (didn’t know if you knew that).

So yes, if you have deep pockets, you can rank well. But I think my site proves that if you have some ingenuity, persistence and DON’T have the money, you can still accomplish the same thing.

Perhaps geekestateblog.com would allow me to do a guest post about creative link building. What do you think Drew (you’ll have the opportunity to slam me back ?

This discussion is cracking me up, so I’ll chime in: The Laguna site looks pretty well optimized to me regarding on the page optimization. HREG’s site is also pretty well optimized, especiialy regarding the off the page factors. Both are equally important, although the true success is measured in the actual rankings, serp positions, and above all BOTTOM LINE SALES. Theres a guy in the top 10 serps for “hawaii real estate” who hasn’t has a sale all year.

Google says a lot of things in it’s guidelines, all of which are purposefully vauge. If your a big site with deep pockets, you can do whatever you want. If your a smaller guy, you might or might not get a google slap for getting aggresive.
