What is the best IDX solution from an SEO perspective?

Integration of IDX / RETS raw data is key to your success with a real estate web site. We continue below to describe the specific ways we've optimized this data to shortcut your way to the top.

What Is A Massive Number of Cached Pages in Search Engines, and How Will It Help My Site?

Simply put, cached pages are older copies of pages stored on search engines. With your Far Beyond Code, Inc. website, your company will benefit from our integrated SEO features.

• Our service places the MLS listings directly on your website, not our own.
• The way search engines work, they cannot readily verify the original author of page content. Oftentimes, they will simply resort to basic assumptions based on page popularity and date of publish. Since websites and their content are uniquely configured, the search engines will frequently count each IDX listing as a separate page written for your site.

With the ever increasing competition in the Internet world, standout page content is more important now than ever. When you choose to utilize the Far Beyond Code's services for your site, you can:

• Associate listings with your page content
• Associated listings will appear on the respective page, below the actual content.
• As new listings are added to the market via the MLS, these listings will automatically be added to the pages associated with that particular type of listing.

The search engines will take notice of the new content and update their index accordingly. This ensures your pages are always fresh and keeps them indexed by the search engines for extended periods of time. For instance, Google will oftentimes store an additional 20 to 100 pages due to the unique integration techniques offered by our services.

Increasing the number of your pages cached in Google greatly increases your chances of ranking in thousands of less common search terms. Many of ourclients have tens of thousands of cached pages in Google and other search engines, this is owed to our cutting edge IDX integration techniques which include the IDX Site Map, automatically generated using all the information from the MLS database.

The best part is, all these services are yours from day one when you choose us for your Internet presence. Our system is perfect for people who like to self manage their site. Of course if you'd prefer someone help manage your site, we have a full staff and several contractors who are familiar, not only with our system, but the search engines and their ever changing trends.

What Do You Mean By More Search Options?

Each realtor association has its own unique database structure. Our system customizes each customer's search features to emphasize their own unique composition by utilizing such technology as:

• Zip Code Calculation
  Our built in zip code distance search feature ensures your site will show all the available MLS listings within a specific area, ensuring your site will not return empty search results.
• Advanced Search Options
  Users of your search feature can change search criteria with ease. Our system provides them with the ability to narrow listings to specific subdivisions, condo complexes or keywords. Your users will experience the most flexible searches with the ability to specify multiple search options such as price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and much more.

You will find our search to be considerably faster than others, even though we offer far more criteria options.
• AJAX For partial Page Updates
  AJAX is a technology that allows data to pass from the browser to the server in a way that allows the update of individual parts of the page independently. Since far less data and processing is done, these AJAX requests are noticeably faster. This enables us to show the matching listing count immediately and show photos in the listing thumbnails on the map as well as other features in a fraction of the time.

What Is Extreme Search Engine Optimizations?

When it comes to IDX integration, everyone does it a little differently. When you compare web development companies, you will find a wide variety of differences between marketing departments and the actual results. While most have devised ways to offer the features you would expect, the implementation of these features oftentimes falls short of the expected search engine optimization (SEO) expected. While they all want their customers to believe they include SEO in each project, but you need to ask; what exactly are they optimizing?

• META Tags
• The URLs
• The HTML Structure
• The Content
• Indexing of Cached Pages
• Keyword Density

Chances are they are optimizing all of these, but when it comes down to it, most will fall down on the technical implementation. At Far beyond Code, we understand how each of these works, and use them to their highest potential on all our customers' websites.

These gaps in their knowledge could cost you in a very big way in terms of the ROI on your website. You could go for months or even years before you discover your site's SEO was done incorrectly; and this translates to huge losses in leads, contacts, and revenues.
