Link Building with Zillow

Filed under: Link Building 

Zillow is an online real estate directory that aims to provide real estate professionals with tools and information that they could use. While that is probably a terrible definition of what Zillow does, all I know is that it is a real estate social network like website that allows you to create a free profile and edit your “about” section to include a dofollow link to your site.

I have seen a lot of real estate webmasters looking to buy links when I briefly browse the buy/sell section of forums like Digitalpoint, so I know there is a ton of demand for real estate related links, and Zillow should help all of you real estate webmasters out and it wont take up more than 5 minutes of your time.

Here is my “lazy” built page that took about 30 seconds to make:
http://www.zillow.com/profile/collinlahay/.

Now if I owned a real estate website, not only would I link to my homepage (as well as a few deep links to articles or inner pages), but then I would want my Zillow page to be an even stronger page, so I would submit my Zillow profile to the socialmarker websites for the additional link building benefit.
