Its a sensational title, isnt it? It is also now a fact, one Realtor, Cyndee
Haydon of Clearwater
Beach Real Estate, armed with only rudimentary white hat SEO information
and an unparalleled dedication to success, took a brand new blog to the top of
Google and a PageRank 5 in less than 3 months.
The good news is, her success can be replicated. In February, Cyndee moved a version of her
WordPress blog to the RSS Pieces Real Estate Blog platform after the WordPress version fell out of the search engines for many prime terms due to some structual faults and an ill configured plugin. Clearwater Beach Real Estate Blog Statistics

I am very, very happy that all her hard work has paid off. Congratulations!!!  Permalink April 30, 2008 20:34:17Comment from: Rebecca Zwar [Visitor] · http://www.invisibleassistantservices.comMary. What an excellent post, and excellent tools. It’s so fun to see examples of white hat SEO that works well, and works quickly. Permalink April 30, 2008 21:29:06Comment from: Cyndee.Haydon [Member] · http://www.clearwaterrealestatetampahomes.com/Wow Mary - we couldn’t have done it without YOU and we just wanted to say Thank YOU (Laurie Manny is so much more poetic than me (see yesterday:D) for all the guidance and help you’ve given us) Like I said in your post last night - the Page Rank is nice however the fact that we keep hitting Google Page 1 in the #1 position (something we’ve never experienced before) for things like Clearwater Florida Real Estate is what it’s all about for us ($$$) and while we know it’s bouncing around - we’re still on the first page for most of our key terms already and we’re so excited to see where we go from here. What I hope every readers get from this is that “ANYONE can do it” since it was really just implementing the tips you give both in your blog and webinars. I’m still amazed at your constant generousity to just give your SEO knowledge out for FREE to anyone who is interested. We actually found implementing your SEO tips and recommendations (submitting to directories, creating backlinks, etc) first while the blog was brand new was really good timing since we weren’t going to show up very well in Google right off the bat. I have to say the SEO optimizing we’ve seen your RSSPieces “blogware” do automatically is amazing to watch and we can’t say enough good things about the power of 1ParkPlace - there’s nothing like it.

I just downloaded the guide and it looks like I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me to rank my new site. Sleep is overrated anyway :) Permalink May 01, 2008 13:55:50Comment from: Carl Martens [Visitor] · http://www.rkihomes.comUsing the Just Dropped website tool…I can find domains that have been recently dropped, but how do you find out if the site holds PageRank and what rank it holds? Permalink May 07, 2008 12:44:38Comment from: Aria Schoenfelt - Austin Real Estate [Visitor] · http://liveaustinrealestate.comI've worked on backlinking and have some fairly solid ones w/o no-follows that bring traffic to my fairly new site. However, it seems that search engines are very slow to pick these up.
For example, I did a yahoo search for my backlinks: and 6 come up. Google Webtools shows 68 "pages with external links to your site," but I know of several pages not included.
Any wisdom in this area? Hoping to improve my PageRank from a 2 next update and have more priority over important Google searches.

It sounds like I need to do the exact same thing that Cyndee did.
