Why advertise on a travel
site? |
|
There are many reasons why you should
consider advertising on travel sites.
First of all, vacation sites generate
far more traffic than any single vacation property page. To a large
extent, the top vacation and travel sites dominate the search engines.
This makes it somewhat difficult for property owners to achieve top
search engine positions.
Secondly, most vacation sites are
professionally managed and spend large amounts of time on search
engine positioning.
With Independent Vacation Rentals, we create an attractive web page
that provides visitors with rates, pictures, your contact information
and other details potential need visitors to help them choose their
next vacation accommodation. Interested renters can call or
email you directly to obtain additional information or visit your own
web site.

|
Why should I advertise on Independent Vacation Rentals? |
|
Unlike many other competitors who have automated their sites and have
shifted their focus to the number of listings they can sell, Independent
Vacation Rentals has placed its priority on quality and achieving top search
engine placement for our advertisers.
To achieve this, we individually create each property page with a design and
meta tags that help move our listings to top search engine positions.
We consistently monitor search engine
traffic and rankings and are working on a daily basis to increase our
traffic exposure.
We are listed all the major search engines and hundreds of smaller
engines. Our
web presence in the vacation rental market is growing incredibly
rapidly.

|
How will I know if your
website is generating any business for me? |
If customers use your email link on
your brochure page it will read "Your listing No. on Independent
Vacation Rentals" in the email subject box.
However, if you have a web link and inquiries are made through
your own web-site, you will not be able to tell if the inquiry
originated on this site. When clients inquire about your
property, be sure to ask them how they found you. This will
help you determine your most effective advertising methods and
websites. |
