Directory Analysis: RealtySiteReview

RealtySiteReview Directory: http://www.realtysitereview.com/

This directory is specific to the real estate industry and is categorized by state.  They do not require a reciprocal link.

The URL was originally purchased in December of 2005.  The Internet WayBackMachine doesn’t show the site live until June 14, 2006.  At that time, the site stated, “1306 agent listings in 8 states “.  The WayBackMachine shows that the current version of the site with all 50 states went live at the end of October 2006.  As of November 16, 2007, the site states “over 1004 agent listings covering 50 states”.

The code on the site is a bit messy having the title tags in the body and table tags in the head.  There are also missing ‘<’ on some of the tags. 

They claim to be the ‘fastest growing real estate directory on the web’ and as of November 16, there were 46 agents listed in their Massachusetts section.  I did a search on Google for ‘real estate directory’, ‘real estate agent directory’, ‘Massachusetts real estate’ and ‘Massachusetts realtors’ and the site did not show up within the first six pages of results.

I submitted a client site and was listed within one day.  Within a few weeks of getting included in the directory, I did a search for the client’s site on Google.  Their ‘printable’ page on realtysitereview.com did show up on the first page of results, however, this ‘printable’ page does not include a link back to the client, only a mention of the URL.  The page with my client’s URL did not show up in the results at all.

Google Page Rank of http://www.realtysitereview.com/ as of November 16, 2007: page rank 4
