Online users are more inclined to click on organic search results than paid Google Ads and other paid advertisements. To maximize getting organic traffic from SEO, you need to create content that benefits users with strong keywords on a high domain authority website, online communities, and forums. However, Google updated its search engine algorithm recently where online communities and forums with high domain authority have a lot more SEO power versus blogs from websites. The reason behind this is there is only one authority (the blog author) that has full control on blogs and once the blog is published, it become aged content. However, on online communities and forums, the author of the topic on the FORUM posts the topic (Keyword and/or Keywords) and publishes the content. As the time pass, you have participants to the post you posted. Each time a user posts a reply, feedback, and adds content to the original post, the content becomes updated content and benefits the community. Therefore, Google and other search engines will give higher domain and page authority on forums versus blogs. This does not mean that you should not keep your website and continue posting blogs. Blogs is the foundation of you increasing your domain and page authority of your website. However, it takes longer and time to create and build a website with a solid foundation. Use online communities, and forums to compliment your website and become guest writer on other high domain authority websites with a do-follow back link to one of your articles. Forums are great in building do-follow back-links. We will continue more on this important SEO tool so you brand yourself and have Google and other search engines to recognize you as an authority in your field and not spam.

Homeowners and homebuyers need good reputable businesses whenever they move to a new location.
Generating organic leads from search engines involves implementing effective search engine optimization (SEO) strategies.Ravinder Sharma is an expert on SEO and it is his niche. I will talk about the general concept on a step by step guide which is an overview. I will then analyze the most recent updates on Google algorithm on the major changes they made and what this means in layman terms so people with non-technical backgrounds like myself can comprehend and understand. If you are reading about SEO, website design, and other technical topics, do not assume what it is if you do not understand. Sapna Sharma has created the eLearning center just for this purpose. Anything to do about training a loan officer, whether it is commercial or residential, it will be covered on the eLearning blog or the Loan Officer Training Blog. We will cover about how GOOGLE said that FORUMs will have more weight on SEO than websites and I will tell you why. Google’s number one priority is content. Content is King.
discuss briefly about blogs versus websites. Bloggers (writers) write articles, often referred to as blogs, that pertains to an area of expertise they have. Google wants the most up to date content on the search engines. To research, prepare, do a rough draft edit, and make the final copy of a blog may take several hours if not several days. At best, a quick on the go article will take one hour or more. Okay, so now the blog completed by a know expert in their field recognized by Google and the search engines is now published, posted, and live in a website. It can be owned and managed by the blogger, or the blogger can be a guest writer for a website, or the blogger can be a staff writer for a media or news network. Regardless, per Google, blogs are one-sided publications where the author is the only authority on what is said, how it is stated, and the final post and publication. The public has NO say so or right to talk back. Very important factors in all this is that once the blog is posted, the blog is on the clock. Once the article is live and posted, it becomes old content. As time passes, the older it gets. So if a blogger wrote a nice piece today, by tomorrow, it is aged content. Google will start downgrading older articles down the search engine optimization food chain. Now let’s compare blog websites to online community message board or often referred to FORUMs. A FORUM is where members of the FORUM communicate back and forth. With a FORUM, members can ask a question and members will answer the member. Not every member of the online FORUM are experts or in the field they are giving advice. However, there are experts or members who know experts to request they join their online community message board. Anytime a member has a question, they can ask on the online community FORUM and within minutes, you will get an answer back not from one member but multiple members of the FORUM. Due to online community members consistently posting a topic, the FORUM is updated by the minute, by the hour, or by the day.
You see the difference between a blog and a FORUM? A blog goes stale from the minute it get posted and it is only one sided where the only voice is the author (blogger). The FORUM is two sided where the writer and the members of the FORUM (the public) interchange the topic in question (keyword) and that is what GOOGLE wants. To me it makes all the sense in the world. On the next segment on this topic, I will discuss how to capitalize on a online community message board (FORUM) where you can generate organic leads. I should be an expert on this topic because I knew Online FORUMs were a goldmine to generate organic leads. However, I got banned by most FORUMs I joined even for stating ” My team and have been helping homebuyers and homeowners qualify and approved for a mortgage with credit scores down to 500.” I did not get a warning or suspended for a few days or a few weeks. I got banned for life. WTF, right. I created Great Community Authority FORUMS to cover anything and everything a homebuyer, homeowner, or real estate investor would possibly need. We do not shun anyone out especially the competition. What’s best for the community in 50 states and U.S. territories is what our FORUM is all about. If my team and I get into a hurdle due to the competition, so be it. Knowledge is KING and if you are my competitor and your knowledge and want to share it with members of our community, you are more than welcomed at GCA FORUMS with open arms. The content I am posting is considered confidential trade secrets but I am sharing my many years of trying to get to the finish line of perfecting getting organic leads but running into hurdles over and over again. I hope you all can do the same and share your experience both good and bad on our FORUM so we can all grow together. The United States has $300 plus million people. We had 160,000 loan officers and now we are down to 70,000. Plenty of people and not enough loan officers, I say. Below I am sharing an overview of what SEO is about and couple of screenshots that may help you in your journey of never paying a dime for a lead ever again.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you market and generate organic leads:
- Keyword Research: Start by identifying relevant keywords that your target audience is likely to use when searching for products or services similar to yours. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, or Ahrefs to discover high-volume and low-competition keywords.
- Optimize Your Website: Ensure that your website is optimized for search engines. This includes optimizing meta tags (title tags, meta descriptions), using keywords naturally within your content, improving website speed, and making your site mobile-friendly.
- Create High-Quality Content: Develop informative, engaging, and valuable content that addresses the needs and interests of your target audience. Content could include blog posts, articles, videos, infographics, case studies, and more. Make sure your content is optimized for your chosen keywords.
- On-Page SEO: Optimize each page of your website for SEO. This includes optimizing URL structures, headings (H1, H2, etc.), image alt text, and internal linking.
- Off-Page SEO: Build backlinks from authoritative and relevant websites in your industry. This can be achieved through guest blogging, influencer outreach, and creating shareable content that naturally attracts links.
- Local SEO: If your business serves a specific geographic area, optimize your website for local search. This involves creating a Google My Business profile, ensuring consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone number) information across all online platforms, and obtaining positive reviews from satisfied customers.
- Optimize for Voice Search: With the increasing popularity of voice search, optimize your content to answer common voice search queries. Focus on natural language and long-tail keywords.
- Regularly Update and Maintain Your Content: Keep your website fresh and up-to-date by regularly publishing new content and updating existing pages. This shows search engines that your website is active and relevant.
- Monitor and Analyze Your Performance: Use tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console to monitor your website’s performance, track keyword rankings, and identify areas for improvement. Analyze user behavior and adjust your strategies accordingly.
- Stay Updated with SEO Trends: SEO is constantly evolving, so stay informed about the latest trends, algorithm updates, and best practices in the industry. Adapt your strategies to remain competitive in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
By following these steps and consistently implementing effective SEO strategies, you can improve your website’s visibility in search engines and generate organic leads over time. Remember that SEO is a long-term process that requires patience and ongoing effort.

Many of my co-workers and friends who own and operate mortgage websites have taken a major SEO penalty on the search engines from Google. This SEO Google Penalty is not just from one or two mortgage website owner but ALL LOAN OFFICERS across the board, FROM THE EAST, MIDWEST, and WEST COAST. Can anyone who is an expert on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) give us the most recent Google Algorithm Updates? What do we have to do to get our RANKINGS back to first page on the SEARCH ENGINES? Who is an expert in SEO? I hired sel-proclaimed SEO GURU NEIL PATEL (My Mortgage Company) and Neil Patel is absolutely 💯 WORTHLESS. DON’T recommend Neil Patel. Neil Patel is a glorified used car salesman who is only a marketer of Neil Patel and a trash compactor of your hard earned dollars. Any answers to my questions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
