I have a travel website www.rajasthan-travel-tour.com Needs suggestions from experts regarding marketing the site. It slowely slowely building up on SERPs still a long way to go. What can be other methods for marketing a travel website other than email marketing, SEO and PPC.
I really like your site - and a good design. Just one thing are anoying to me personaly. The blinking buttons everywere
Your site looks great. The design is super. Travel sites are quite easy to promote actually. I'm assuming you know quite a bit about the area you are promoting. You have to think of where your customers will gather info. I'd guess a lot read travel forums and blog posts while researching their travels. You should join a busy travel forum and become the resident expert on Rajasthan. Your sig link will bring much traffic if your posts prove valuable. Do basically the same thing for blogs. Offer them unique articles about Rajasthan. Add your link. In your About Rajasthan section, I would try to make the description a little more inviting. Put some creative spin on "Most of Rajasthan is desert" and "Very Hot & Dry and very little rainfall". I agree with Fitnawake. Nobody links blinking. Good luck, Ty
I find the site is a bit busy in design. Decide where you want people to go first (revenue, an introduction to the area or whatever) and make that the main focus of the site. Then arrange perhaps two other important part of the site on the home page and consign the other information to other pages. People can link to them if they are interetsted but will stay focussed on the prime information from the home page. Good luck with the site.
I am starting forum marketing for the site but its a long process and will need quiet a bit of time to yield output. Can anyone suggest me what are the forums that you use while searching for information on India Travel. indiamike.com is a very popular one. Another thing what i have analyzed is that no forum is sharing email ids of it members like in DP we can get anybody email id quiet easily. I wannt to make a database of email ids of members registered with travel forums. But the only way i see it is posting in forums and asking members to give their email ids. Thats a quiet long process. What could be the alternative for that. I wannt to build a big database of outiside India travelers interested in travelling to India. Blink is annoying me as well. Thanks all for the suggestion will change it soon.
Not a bad and unique design. Agree with aboved though, the blinking buttons have got to go. Also i can't see a site map? This would help your seo no end.
For results that yield quality, repeat traffic there is no shortcut. I know it sucks, but it's a reality. Be careful with this! If you sent me an unsolicited email after scraping my address from a forum, I would be sure to NEVER visit your site. No matter how relevant the information, if I didn't ask for it, it's spam. These are the white-hat warnings, of course. Just watch your step. Good luck, Ty
