I recommend Search Engine Optimization for Dummies as a great book for realtors with websites.  I learned the value of directories, content, links, blogs, social networking and many other tricks to getting more traffic to your site.

For one, I learned how to find out if your site is recognized by the major search engine.  All you have to do is go the search window for the site.  For example my website is www.jasonhector.com.  I go to www.google.com and in the search box type the following:  site:jasonhector.com.  This will tell you how many pages Google has their directory.

Try the other major websites too.

1.  www.yahoo.com

2.  www.msn.com

3.  www.ask.com

4.  www.dmoz.org

If you are not recognized by these search engines, submit your site so that people can find you on the internet.  It took a while but I am now in the dmoz.org directory but it looks like the informaiton is a bit old.  You can use their update site link when you are in the directory your site is found in.  For example, I go to dmoz.org and type my website in the search and the directory comes up where the site is at as follows: http://www.dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/California/Localities/N/Northridge/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/
From this page you can use the update site link to update the title information.  Give it some time for them to finish.  Keep checking back for coming info on Wikipedia contributions.  Good luck and happy blogging.
