Hello -
Thank you for your question.
If you choose to rate this answer, please ask for any clarification
you may require prior to doing so. Thank you for your understanding.
I discovered a document put out by AgentPort from June of 2003 that
lists the top 100 real estate search terms. The data was compiled
from Wordtracker, a service that keeps track of keyword usage. All
the main search engines are represented in the data.
The document is available here:
Top 100 Search Terms of Residential Real Estate
http://www.agentport.com/Newsletter/June_2003/Top100SearchTerms.asp
To verify the data, I used a free trial at Wordtracker, entered in
some of the first few keywords, and tried the sites' suggested related
keywords. I found similar results, with one search term being an
exception -- "real estate listings." It was markedly higher in their
data than on the Wordtracker site.
Here are my findings:
Keyword Count
===========================
1) mortgages 31514
2) real estate 30997
3) house plans 19573
4) modular homes 6870
4) manufactured homes 5535
5) mls 5305
6) realestate 4482
7) land for sale 2599
"[The 'count'] shows the number of times a particular keyword has
appeared in our database.
E.g. Our database currently holds 335 million words. A count of 147
tells us that this particular word has appeared 147 times in 335
million (this is over 60 days - a two month period).
Our keywords are taken from major metacrawlers (a service that queries
all the main search engines simultaneously).
Our main sources are Metacrawler and Dogpile, the two largest
Metacrawlers on the net. Metacrawlers have the major advantage of
matching the search profile of the search engines very closely. But
are not subject to the same kind of skew from software robots that
continually check web site and pay per bid positions."
