My suggestions for your site:
1. I don't know what service your using for your hosting, but step up to some cheap self-hosting, and forum software all of your urls resolve to www.lvrealestatehelp.com. I assume this is some sort of frame set-up to forward to your domain. The biggest problem with your current set-up is all you great content is getting lost. Word Press could replace your existing set-up if you don’t want to mess with a forum. In any event you need to be able to replace your non index pages with say this www.lvrealestatehelp.com/short-sale/ for your specific pages so the search engines can find them and the keywords in the URL if not overdone help tremendously. Your never going to get a decent ranking for the terms you want on your current setup
2. I don't think all those link backs to your social media pages are doing you any good especially so prominently on your page. Given the location and the number of them Google probably sees them as spammish. I'd do away with all of those and replace them with buttons to your Twitter, Facebook and maybe Google Plus account. The correct way to use them is as links into you site not links both into and back out.
3. This: The LVrealestateHELP Team and Broker/Founder Robert Adams hope this page with assist you with: Answering your Real Estate Questions and Comments in our Las Vegas Real Estate Forum. Doesn't need to be on there. It isn't that visible to the naked eye so it looks sort of spammish to both potential visitors and search engines.
4. Replace your image header with a nice high rez photo instead of the low rez one you are using. Replace your text logo with a cheap more professional looking graphical based one.
5. You have developed a lot of nice content in your forum turn some of that into videos and upload them to the video sharing sites. (I have specific ideas on how you can do this if you want my help)
.
6. Finally spruce up your Facebook Page with high res images from Las Vegas. Facebook is mostly a visual medium.
Just trying to help.
Thank you for the advice. I am actually talking to a few different webmasters to see my options. The current site was built to help build up my content and capture current leads. I am planning to have a pro redesign my site using my current content but with much nicer looking front end and graphics as well as create a solid SEO plan. The site has served it's purposed for the last few years but our team is expanding and it is time to take it to the next level. Thanks again for your help!
