When someone does a Google search for Austin real estate or any other city using a similar term, websites are returned.  At the very top highlighted with a very dim color and on the right side are what are called pay-per-click or PPC.  Owners of these sites bid to get ranked at the top.  They set a daily or monthly budget and when that is exhausted, the site no longer appears on the first page of the websites that are returned.  These sites may be great and they may be sites that don't give you what you want.

Following the PPC sites are real estate websites that rank high in a search for other reasons.  They are usually content rich, which is a great thing for people actually looking for real estate and related information.  The main thing people using the internet to look for real estate want is a good property search.  The one I have seems to be well liked.  Check out my Search Austin Homes page for yourself.

For people from outside the area, especially for those who are not even in Texas, having a lot of information about things families care about is important.  This generally isn't what people are looking for on a real estate website, but if they find it and it is useful, they will come back to the site over and over.  What I am referring to is information on area schools, recreation and information on specific communities and subdivisions.
