VERY aggressive answer BB, I assume nothing and to be honest am a little offended at your posting it. You say 'the typical SEO response' Not sure what a typical SEO is, but I would not like to think of myself as a typical SEO.
I have been in web marketing since 1995 Four years BEFORE Google existed, I was one of the first people to buy a .co.uk domain, I have grown up with the search engines from lycos altavista hotbot etc, and know them inside out and IF I am reading what you say your system does, then it WILL eventually bring the whole network into a bad neighbourhood ban and EVERY SINGLE SITE in the network will get banned. Now that might be a day, a week, a month, a year five years, who knows,? BUT eventually it WILL happen, and the very fact that you are operating in Real Estate means it will happen sooner rrather than later, because people will report the sites as spam to google via spam report, that is how it works (But I am sure you know that).
This is what I am basing my posts on though, so please feel free to corret my thinking if I have it wrong.
1. A site joins the network and is added to the directory.
2. They add the code, and the directory appears on their site
3. Others join the network and do the same, and they together with everyone who joined before them AND after them is added to their site in a nice neat directory structure.
It was called a 'link farm' originally NOT by search engines, but by the people like myself who discussed search engine marketing amongst ourselves. It is called a link farm because you plant a single link, and the crop results in hundreds or thousands of links for that one little action of planting the code on your page.
Please correct me if I am wrong as I would NOT want to bad mouth your product wrongly, that is not my style.
is that right?
because if it is it is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT the literal meaning of the original link farm that was black balled around 1999.
