Pardon the intrusion while I toot my own horn, but I had to capture this before it goes away…
That is us, at #5 on Google for the search term "Phoenix Real Estate". That's a pretty competitive search term that returns 7,570,000 pages. We're ranked on page 1 of Google for dozens of terms, but this is the generally accepted "gold standard" for real estate search terms.
I've been preaching it to agents that will listen — Blogs are powerful tools…

AWESOME!!!!
I’m still stuck on page 3 for “real estate technology”
It took a lot of work to get to page 3 and its going to take more to get to page 1
I was on page 2 (about number 15) for a week then i dropped back to page 3. I’m sometimes #1 on page 3 but usually 3 or four down (which equals about #24)
Keep it coming
can’t wait to see you at number #1

Bravo! My hat is off to you…

Well, I don’t have a Realtor website (since I’m not a Realtor and all), but as Athol has pointed out, I come up on Pg 1 for Hot Austin Wives and #1 on Google for Hot Realtor Wives, all thanks to an article about why the Austin market is hot… I’m still working on getting better ranking for more substantial searches.
So CONGRATS on your success!! If I were in Phoenix I would hate you
But I’m not so I like you, YAY!

That is so cool. What it shows is consistent hard work, solid content, and the public’s perception that you really do know what you’re doing.
Keep up the great work.

Very, very impressive! Funny, you actually rank higher in my own market than I do on Google. You’re everywhere! Links are an odd thing. I’ll figure this algorythem stuff out eventually. Though, I’ve hit #4 on MSN. Do they count anymore?
Oh, and I understand Greg hits #4 for Redfin.com as well!
Congrats to both of you.

Congrats. Well deserved.

There is nothing wrong with tooting your own horn every once in a while!
Jay, the #5 Rank on Google for “Phoenix Real Estate” is phenomenal. I bet you paid a whole lot less than Jim Messenger…isn’t it amazing what blogging can do?
I have not analysed my own rankings into the detail yet, however in the short time since my blog is up and running (Jan 17th 2007), I am getting some good hits from the “long tail”. Using “Phoenix Metropolitan Real Estate” I am number 3 thanks to blogcatalog.com.
By the way, thanks again for helping me to put my blog on the map of the “blogiverse”.

Jay, How DARE you toot your own horn!
Congratulations, sir.

Jay, you ARE the Phoenix Real Estate Guy. Congratulations on leading the Arizona pack. You’re miles ahead of Greg. Now, that’s something to howl about
My SEO hat is off to you.

Thanks to all for the congratulatoryisms. (I just made that word up. Let’s see if we can get to #1 in Google for it…
)
Joe - in all fairness to Greg, the intent, purpose and scope of BloodhoundBlog isn’t the same as this blog. We target different audiences and/or have goals. TPREG will always rank higher than BHB for local search terms, and BHB will always rank higher for national and “re.net” like search terms. We’re two different beasts.

Great job on making it that far for such a hotly contested term. Blogs are a powerful thing indeed.

I bounce all over from Page 1 to Page 2…of course my search term only has about 250,000 results.
