>>I know far too many agents who only work locally and have the website there for clients. They don't care nor will they ever care if they generate a single lead. It's not their goal.
That is me. I plan on having a site up this year. (just like last year)
I do not plan on getting any leads from it. It will be for my clients and referrals to find me. If I get some. Kool! But that is not the goal, for me. Same as Facebook or Linkedin
I have gotten 3 request for Life insurance and 2 company leads this week and I still do not know what or who SEO is.
I would someday like to have a site that would feed me. But for now, I just see it as a pain in a$$ thing that I should do. Because my clients are asking me for my web address.

You know so little about this subject, and no way of judging a website. Paying more means nothing, fulfilling your needs to justify your intentions of having a website does.
It is so easy to steal quality leads away from internet paid lead companies, if the agent learned what consumers are really looking for, (and it is not quotes.)
At some point in life you realize that find you get more back when helping others help themselves for free.
If that is a crime, then you are constantly going to call me guilty. However, I will sleep peaceful at night.
I have met my goals. If I in some way during my declining health, help others, so much the better.
Just because you are uneducated about SEO and want to keep burning money on internet leads that is your privilege.
Shortly, a well known member on here will show you a SEO optimized site he is building for himself at very little cost, but a strong desire to see if he could do it. A couple leads will completely pay it off.
I believe that is the topic of this post.

Uneducated about SEO? lol
Everyone that knows me on here knows now knows you just speak without thinking or knowing who or what you're talking about.

P.S. Feel free to criticize my company link in the sig...
I am not criticizing you nor your company. I am guilty of seeing members waste money and see little if zero return. That needs to stop.
Not every member on here can afford that luxury. They want to know how to find the best sources and prices to make an internet presence.
To them spending $100 and putting up a website, is a lot of difference from $800 annually.
I believe no one person is better than another.
Helping sincere people for free is a reward some people will never experience.
Everyone on here that has communicated with me knows that I do know what I am talking about.
Sorry, that I don't play your game.
BTW: I have a corporation involved in direct mail solutions for 29 years.
So it would be foolish to knock a practice that works.

Thanks to those of you that are working to keep this board civil.
My neighbor likes to spend his free time working on his cars. I don't. To him, the $50+ I pay every three months to have my oil changed is a total rip off. To me it's money well spent. Value is relative.
Here's a free ebook that will help anybody interested in learning the DIY approach to driving more traffic, leads, and sales through their website. I'm all for helping others!

My company is going to set up a webpage for me in their directory, however, I have several domain names available to purchase which are common google keywords combined. (Think product line, area combo). Is this a good idea to purchase and route to personal site, make my own landing page, or not bother?
"Me too" webpages don't get a lot of play in search engines. You would do better on your own.
Norvax & Quotit offer websites . . . for a price. But few of them will capture leads unless they have been tweaked and promoted by someone who knows how to make their site stand out from the crowd.
Peeler has a Norvax site and has done well, but he is the exception, not the rule.

What hasn't happed yet is an honest discussion about exactly what it takes and the level of work needed to get your site ranking well enough to generate leads that convert into business.
All I hear - and not just on this board is "Oh...it's EASY! Just follow my quick steps and...."
This is hogwash. Getting on page 1 for various terms that either don't drive traffic or don't covert is relatively easy. It seems to be that the trick many SEO experts use is getting site on page one for "Albino Alpaca Farming." Then they say "SEE! You're page 1!"
Getting on the first page for decent traffic and conversion is something SEO experts dedicate their lives to...and even the experts disagree on the weight Google gives for various factors. Even using the methods all SEO experts agree on is no guarantee you'll ever move out of page 3.
I hear far too many "experts" talking about "follow me to the land of gold" with zero references. Show me insurance agents who have used your services and are now generating leads and converting business and we're talking.
However....lots of talk...zero references. Part of SEO failure is some agents want "SEO in a can." They don't want to actually do anything - just want a lot of solid traffic.
As of yet I have not seen that system work. If "SEO in a can" has indeed worked, I'd like to talk to those agents.
The one piece of advice I get a lot that makes sense is design and write for people, not search engines. People have to like your site first. I want what I write to be readable, enjoyable and useable. Sometimes sticking in a keyword phrase doesn't fit. It makes what I write look like I'm writing for Google and not the reader.
Google, thankfully, seems to be messing with things to make sure I'm getting better results. A simple search for "health insurance" used to be a page full of quote vendors and affiliates. Today that search is a half page of local listings, then Aetna, Anthem, Kaiser, Humana.
GR is on there for their local MD address:

Google seems to have kicked lead affiliates to the curb.
