I'm an internet marketer and publisher, having been in the business since in 1997. I operate website publishing company, Clear Digital Media, Inc., having been incorporated since 2005.

I don't have any expertise in real estate, other than I've purchased a few homes in my time. BUT, I do have expertise in marketing products and services online.

I'm also the founder of Menifee Internet Professionals, a local networking group in Menifee, CA, of Internet-focused business owners.

And just to convince you some more, I'm one the top 1% of bloggers and Internet marketers who actually found enough success to quit their regular job, start a company, hire some people, and make a living out of blogging.

I've designed and published 50+ websites in my career, all designed to attract focused audiences, and then market specific products/services that interest them.

Why You Should Read This Blog

If you want a website that attracts traffic on its own, converts them into leads, and does it all without any external advertising, read this blog.

I've made a living doing exactly that, creating what I call "perpetual revenue generators". These sites are designed to fetch lots of traffic from Google, show them lots of strategically placed advertisements, and then earn money from the ads. I don't buy any ads or keywords. I spend zero on traffic. Instead it works like a well-oiled machine, giving me free traffic, and making money from the traffic.

I can do the same thing with real estate websites, showing you how to harness the same strategy, getting free traffic and converting them into leads.

On this blog, I write about what navigational link structure works well, various SEO tips, usability tips, domain names, and any other tips I can throw at you.

Like I said, I've been in this business since 1997, and have seen all the ups and downs, and survived through all the Google algorithm changes. I know SEO paranoia when I see it, and trust me there's a lot of going around. I'll even debunk some of it for you.

Other "How To" Real Estate Blogs

There are indeed many expert bloggers, who know some very good things about SEO and lead generation. I'm not knocking those guys.

I'm just presenting myself, explaining what has worked for me, and teaching you how I did it.

You may also want to read another blog I publish, "In Your Web", which talks more in general about the Internet marketing and publishing business.

My Past Career

Prior to my Internet marketing career, I managed the Research & Development departments of software companies that focused on the healthcare finance market. My particular skill lies in Business Analysis. I'm pretty good at breaking something down, figuring out why it works, or doesn't work, and then using that experience to solve other problems. I built a successful career through CompReview, Inc., HNC Software Inc., and Innovent Technologies.

History of This Website

Real Estate How originally launched in June of 2004 as an archive of articles helping homeowners buy and sell homes. I wanted to take advantage of the growing market for real estate advertising. But as time went on, I found that the real estate niche was heavily saturated on the Internet, even back then. And since I'm not really a real estate expert, I was tough for me to gain an audience.

So in 2005, I switched it over to just publishing news about the industry. Things didn't go so well that way either. There was already a saturation of real estate news all over the Internet.

So in October of 2007, I switched to something that I better compete in, teaching Internet marketing, but specifically relating real estate. This way I can still take advantage of the big dollars in real estate advertising, and be able to offer something that no other website has, ME.
