Can I base a SEO campaign on a specific MLS listing inteads of full broker web site?
-
I have been ask to do a SEO campaign for one MLS listing: house for sale in the rosedale area in Toronto, and I am having difficulty to target one specific MLS listing .
I don't want to do the SEO campaign on http://jimmymolloy.com but rather one specific listing http://jimmymolloy.com/feature/?mls=A_C2337646&listing=for-sale
Google Analytic does not allow me to have a URL with a query.

Thank you Anthony

"... Is my only option is to create a parallel web page with no MLS so I can have the right keywords in the URL?"
Yes, I wold think making a new page with keywords in url would be the best way to go.Once PR and link equity has been established you can always at that time 301 redirect to the wordpress mls query page.
But if you have to optimize the wordpress site page with MLS query, not having keywords in the url is not the end of the world. You can sstill do alot to optimize that page as is with good content, quality links and a social media blitz.

Thank you Anthony... i guess it is my fault, I should give you more info....
The house for sale That I need to do SEO is located on a Wordpress site that use a MLS component. So each houses have a different query from the MLS system.
So far I can not change the URL of the query... it is not to my advantage for the SEO work.

Ok, if I understand correctly, your are getting an MLS listing posted on MLS website. Then adding a link to that listing fro your site, www.jimmymolloy.com. Your then wanting to change the MLS listing url to search engine friendly keywords?
If the answer to above is yes, then I don't think you could unless you own the MLS site and changed its query strings to SEF (Search Engine Friendly)
Now if your wanting to simply create a page on your wordpress site there is an option in wordpress to make url's SEF. You can make one according to the keywords you want, then link from within your page to the MLS listing page. This would pass any link juice from your page to the MLS page.

To my knowledge I can not change the URL for the MLS listing... I which I could change the URL with keywords but I am at the mercy of the query created by the MLS component...any idea to how to go over that issue?

Would it be plausible to make a page like http://jimmymolloy.com/rosedale-toronto-house-for-sale.htm
Link to the MLS listing from that page, then work on your content, links and social media. Once you see progress and rewards apply a 301 redirect to the MLS listing to pass link juice to it. ???

OPen Site Explorer listing criteria?
Checking link data for a potential client who has given me access to their websmaster tools account, I've noticed that Google list over 150,000 "Links to Your Site" but yet OSE only reports a tiny fraction of this number.

I have manually verified that there are in fact direct links from the sites that are listed in Webmaster Tools but not in OSE. Does OSE discard some links? Is there a reporting lag? Does anyone know why there would be such a large discrepancy?0 -

How can I change (specifically, decrease) the reporting/crawling frequency of the keyword ranking?
It always seem to compare the standings based on the week before, which confuses the issue when I'm only reporting monthly or quarterly. Is there currently (or might there be in the future) a way to set this so that the comparison is based on a time period that I specify?
