Real Estate Blogging Case Study: SEO Benefits of BiggerPockets Blogs
by Joshua Dorkin on August 30, 2009
Earlier today I was browsing through some of the blogs on our BiggerPockets Blog Network and saw a post that caught my attention. It didn’t grab me as much for the content, but because the author shared with everyone the fact that the post had first page rankings on Google, soon after going live.
The post, titled I Buy Houses in Joplin Missouri, written two days ago, is now the top result for “buy houses Joplin” and the second result for “buy houses Joplin Missouri” out of 107,000 and 110,000 total results in Google’s index.

Well Josh it seems like I’ve made the big time now doesn’t it LOL!!
Thanks for the case study on my blog. Truth be told is that I purposely blog on Biggerpockets more than anywhere else because of the benefits as your case study obviously shows. The other major important factor for me to blog on Biggerpockets is that since I’ve upgraded to a PRO membership I’m able to track where my links to this blog is coming from allowing me to know what’s working and what’s not.
Thanks again for making me famous for 15 minutes LOL!!!
