I quickly learned the difference between a retrofit and a tear-down. After my initial attempt, the Perla site managed to sneak it’s way onto page 10 (using the keywords “manzanillo real estate” and it wouldn’t budge. The site just wasn’t optimized. It simply needed more than a meta tag makeover. That’s a good name. Someone should grab that domain: Meta Tag Makeover. You make a show and I’ll be the star?

It takes time to make changes, it takes time for the search engines to find and rerank pages, it takes time to effectively judge if what you did had any effect.

Once you start getting more incoming links to it I think the search ranking will improve. You might want to consider some article marketing to help build incoming links to the site.
