Piss poor ability to pay attention. "Most important first part" Jesus I don't even know what was the point of your comment? Do you imply I'd suggest him/her to put up blank white pages? What a pile of negativity you are. Please don't reply back.
My advice is to be everywhere and start building up contacts, have a site that is SEO optimised with all the usual fanpages and twitter accounts that is social media! I designed a site(also a tourist site) and ranked it highly for my Wife who wrote all the content, I didn't expect much but when she started to get daily emails I took notice and next season where I live I will be promoting the hell out of the site using PPC, FB ads, special discounts, making offline deals with local companies that we can collaborate with and so much more! So yes be everywhere and get known!!
I read what you wrote. You said FIRST PART, which means content is AFTER keywords. So, keywords and no content is what you said is the start of any website. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Content is ALWAYS first, keywords are ALWAYS AFTER content. How far after content is debatable. Yes, I am saying that you DID imply that.
That couldn't be farther from the truth, how do you know what contents to create without keyword research? If I create an article on 'make money online' and then do keyword research - I have just shot myself in the foot.
You're pointless to talk with, you're twisting my text the way you like it. Yes, KEYWORD COMES FIRST, that's a FACT, you shouldn't be creating content without knowing what are you targeting at exactly. How does Keyword comes first means 'no content'? You just don't make sense. Sometimes it's better to be quiet. That's exactly why keyword always comes first, before even ANYTHING.
Try Facebook rigorously for your travel promotion. Join Groups related to travel, post your package details in it. Also try, online classified sites too. I am sure you would get clients withing a month.
You should try all possible internet marketing. Also, Search engine optimization is a good way. Work hard for the social media.
So true Lisa, take the time to find what works best or where somebody is getting some response to the topic and dig in if it's a traffic source that wants that information then build it out and dominate it totally. Grow it. I don't think people should spend time on other activities unless they want to compete with people that already dominate those sources. Great response.
Foremost thing is analysing your competitor's website.. choose keywords.. Build a strategy. Analyse the backlinks of your competitors Be active in social media.. http://seothemind.com/
