Hi, One of my site is targetting whole of Europe. Basically selling Travel deals, My organic ranking is not very good. But my site is popular in south pacific region and most of the hits is direct for my domain name. Please suggest me some steps which will be good for getting my site in organic ranking. Other than Keyphrases & Link building. All that i have done in under process. Thanks
Try putting a free report together eg: top 10 holiday spots in Europe, and give it away. Put it in free ebook directorys. Do some Jv with other travel site like ones thats target countries like you're doing
And to go further with the previous poster: dedicate a certain month to a special top 10 month: top 10 bbq places, 10 top beaches, etc. And make hype with press release around it... Personally I love this thread about it on PRWeb in this subforum (sorry i cannot post link yet) Cheers Bas
Hi Webmaster! Since viral marketing through eBooks and special reports have been generously posted by the two gentlemen above, I have two remaining suggestions for you. FIRST... You could try blogs! They are really potent tools in driving traffic for your site. Try to create a blog account. It's free at www. blogger. com. Blogs are easy to use as well. Just write and publish, and that's it. In your entries, you could write about anything that is related to the business you are running. Since it's about travel, you could dedicate your site as a travelogue. The trick here is inserting links to you main website in your entries. You could design your entries as recommendatory in nature. Or you could share some wonderful packages your business is offering, preferably at a discounted price. Just make sure your content is good, and that they use keywords that are related to your business. Now, how would this be able to help you drive traffic to your main site, you might ask? * Search engines love blogs. Blogs dominate the first few pages of every search. * Blogs can easily be updated, and search engines love constantly updated content. * Your blog would offer one way links to your main site, and search engines love unilateral links. * Blogs have their own linking network, and you'd be able to generate new traffic from this. * Blogs would allow you to use the powerful blog/RSS/pingomatic .com combo. This would get your pages indexed fast! Refer to past threads in this category for this method. SECOND... Don't concentrate on new visitors alone. Give attention to your old ones. Do you have a mailing list? Visitors who don't avail of your offers are not necessarily useless for you. They might want to purchase your packages in the future! The thing is, when that time comes, how would they be able to find your site again? You have to capture them by implementing a mailing list wherein they could opt to receive mails from you. By capturing their email addresses, you could follow up on them and consequently, warm them up for future offers. The trick here is in coming up with an enticing program that would encourage them to subscribe to your mailing list. An informative newsletter usually does the trick. But if you think that is rather passe, you could try a contest, or a giveaway in exchange for their subscription. Well, that's it. Good luck in winning those visitors, Webmaster! John P.S.
