In the part for real estate, you will see that many people, including Realtors post their entire Austin sales and rental records they have on Austin Craigslist. It is of no charge after all and at times useful, reasons enough for posting Austin Craigslist records along with photos In doing so, and in observing how user-unfriendly the Craigslist way is from a real estate listing browsing point of view, I've come to some conclusions.

Searching for keywords is the single method that works when utilizing Craigslist to look for Austin home. Today, for example, there are nearly 300 real estate listings that are new on the "for sale" part of Austin Craigslist real estate. It would really consume time if you scroll down the page and understand all the title records and doing this is expected to get you nowhere. Clicking the "Next 100 Postings" connection at the bottom of each page, just gives more of the same. if you go on this path, you would just end up looking through the more than a thousand listings just so you find to see the previous 4 days of entries. listings are available in Craigslist for 45 days so it is really not likely that people would tramp through all those records. Instead, browsers would search for keywords.

So if I was looking for a home in Circle C or Legends Oaks or Western Oaks or Shady Hollow, I would be typing a search for those neighborhood names. Other elements I would search for would be "Bowie" High School, "Kiker" Elementary, "South Austin," and others that would lead me to real estates in the place. If a home close to Westlake High School is what I want, then I would likely use keywords such as "Westlake" and "Eanes."

Now that it is obvious my record in Austin Craigslist is more to be sited as a result from a search engine, then it is best to print content with lots of keywords in them.

For example, let's say I have a listing in Travis Heights off South Congress (soco) in South Austin for trade. Can it be stated that the subsequent is a fine ad copy?:

Charming older cottage minutes from downtown and close to everything. Walking distance to neighborhood park and pool and local shops and restaurants.

Notice the lack of relevant keywords in the sample sentence? For example, a browser likes to find a Travis Heights home, how would he do so if the neighborhood itself is not mentioned? The browser wouldn't. On Craigslist I can assure you that there are numerous poorly written ads such as this.

A more improved copy would be:

A charmer of South Central Austin found in Travis Heights a few minutes to the Austin downtown. Travel on foot to Stacy Park, to South Congress restaurants and shops (soco), and pool.

See the dissimilarity? Basically it means the same thing, but in a keyword viewpoint the last one is more likely to be viewed by a Travis Heights home browser or by a browser for homes close to (soco) South Congress.

We can take this concept a step more by thinking of secondary keywords to include in an ad. For example, a rental listing I recently listed on Craigslist is found in Western Oaks. I lead off the ad with:

Great home, finely updated in a superb South Austin location in Western Oaks, close to Legend Oaks and Circle C.

Why am I stating "close to Legend Oaks and Circle C"? For the reason that anyone browsing for a home for rent in Legend Oaks or Circle C may be attracted in this home in Western Oaks also. I want to capture as many attracted prospects with the ad as possible. Also, since quality schools are a encouraging attribute for many in the SW Austin location, it's important to mention all schools by name in case someone is browsing specifically for a home that attends certain schools.

In short, a website copy and a Craigslist ad are not to be written differently. One has to ask "what keywords and search phrases might be utilized by people whom I want to find this content?" Then take pains to incorporate those keywords in the ads you print.
