A lot of real estate agents think that the Copy/Paste  function on their browser is an easy way to fill their pages with good  copy.  Google has been heralding its  disapprobation with replicated prose and the very basic reality that people  aren't impressed with repeated text, especially when it's obvious that a large  number of websites are cribbing off of the same document.  Despite these facts, it seems that many  agents and brokers have no clue about using original content on their website  to market their business.

While you might want to rank high on search engines, this  should not be your primary goal.  Your  first responsibility is to make your web copy readable and relevant to the  human reader.  It is the real estate  buyer or seller you want to attract, not Google.  Google doesn't want to buy your house, but  John or Jane Doe might be persuaded to if you give them the right information  and convince them that you are the right person to guide them through the  narrow alleyways of a real estate transaction.

People today have more access to knowledge than at any other  time in history. They are suspicious of advertising and suffer from a surfeit  of ads jumping up and down to get their attention.  They have developed radar for copy that looks  like an attempt to get their attention for attention's sake instead of giving  them actual information.

The Internet gives your prospective clients the power to  head off right away from pages they don't want to look at any more, which gives  you only seconds to capture and keep their attention.  While an attractive layout and stunning graphics  can attract attention, it is valuable information that keeps it.  And it is unique information or, at least,  information that is written in an engaging style which tells the prospective client  something new, interesting or informative that keeps them on your site. 

The reason that you should aim to rank high with readers  before search engines is that major engines, like Google, are constantly  changing the behavior of the programs they use to evaluate and rank pages to  mimic the goals and needs of the search engine user.  Link exchange programs dont work anymore and  filling your pages with carefully concealed dictionaries of words only makes  Google rank you lower.  There is no get-rank-quick  strategy other than genuine information, written in your own voice or, at  least, the voice of someone who knows what he or she is about.

Dont be satisfied with a fancy website and stolen  words.  Get strong, unique copy on your  website and see how it benefits both your clients and you.  Unique copy that targets what people are  looking for is the key to ranking higher, both on the Internet and in potential  clients eyes.
