Creating new posts for your real estate blog may seem overwhelming at first as many of us are not born journalists. To keep your blog fresh and relevant to the search engines, you should add content to your site a minimum of three times per week. Overcome your writer's block by writing about what you know-real estate! Having a real estate blog that doesn't display real estate related content is not going to do as well as one that does. Here are some simple strategies to help you create quality content for your visitors and the search engines.

Tips to create quality posts for your real estate blog:

• Use your site's keywords in the titles for your content.

• Get creative and try to create catchy, memorable post titles to create interest and keep visitors on your site as long as possible.

• Use your site's keywords 3 to 5 times within each post

• Link to other sites on the web in your posts-cite the sources of your content and/or refer to articles on a similar subject that can be found on the web

• Link to your own posts within new posts-if you have posts on similar subjects, link them to each other

• Format your posts so that they read well. Use spacing between paragraphs to create digestible chunks of information
