Exchanging Links (the right way) for DEAs only

In case you don't know, getting links pointing to your website is, without a doubt, the most important step to gain good SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages).

There are many ways to gain links towards your website, but today we'll talk about exchanging website links between DEA site owners.

Exchanging website links is one of the easiest ways to start getting links towards your website.

Some of the websites seem to be fishing amongst the independent dea's and funding themselves by extended credit.

One to watch is HES based in Scunthorpe. I'm 76 days adrift and still being fobbed off.

I have been undertaking EPC,s and providing HIP's in the mid Somerset area and have been very disappointed to see the price wars and reduction in fees etc over the past few weeks. The problem is gathering pace. 

At the turn of the year I produced a HIP for a friend for £299 all inclusive and he was happy with the £100 saving he made by not using his Estate Agent. He was amazed at how professional the product was and thought it good value.

Hi,

I do not know much about cloning EPC's - but I may be required to help someone with cloning in the future - anyone got any advice on how this is done or any websites that are useful to visit.

Thanks

Within my local area I have gained a good name due to the efficeint and proffesional service I provide to several estate agents and solicitors.  

However, a local firm for whom i used to work showed some desperation and contacted all my clients undercutting my fees by half!!!

Now i know we all need to make a living but surely this is just not acceptable from fellow dea's, is it? Can I name and shame? 

Luckily for me I pleaded my case and reduced my fees slightly to keep my clients on board but this is not the point.

Easily Improve your Business Listing SERPs (Search Engine Results Page )

Improve your Business Listing SERPs (Search Engine Results Page)

It is easier than you may think . . . especially if You already have a Website.  If that is the case, you only need to add a link from your website towards your own DEAlocal business listing.

To make sure you get the right link, simply go to dealocal.co.uk/linking-to-us.htm , all the links in this page are customized to your own business listing. You will need to log in to access this page.

Let me tell you 3 reasons WHY you should take the time to link back.

I wondered if you or any members know if there is a way of retrieving an issued EPC for a client who just wont pay.

I just thought if this were possible it would make the HIP incomplete and therefore void.

It's only for one job which I did in record time and too cheap but it's the principal. It's not worth taking the legal route and of course people like this particular individual possibly take advantage of that fact and always move around.
