I guess our biggest secret is The Platinum Rule: "Do unto others as they would have done unto themselves." We find out what is important to people, and we direct our efforts accordingly. Travel is a local decision; we market locally. After starting marketing on the Internet in 1994, we have so many secrets.

Can be much more affordable than paying for pay per click ads with large ad systems.

I tip my hat to Todd for his How-To Video on using RSS Feeds. I completely agree with Claude from his Feb 15th post regarding the growth in importance of Social Media and Social Networking websites. Both the tourism industry and Social Media sites are all about connections. For the Travel and Tourism industry, it's about connections between you and your guests, and the powerful word-of-mouth connections between your guests and their network of friends. The Happy Hotelier gives a wonderful, specific example of the power of social proof - citing that "traffic and conversion have increased really tremendously" when their listing reached the top position of guest satisfaction on the Social Networking site hoteliers.com! As for the search engine marketers - "that is so 2006". Cheers all, Doug It’s been great to read through the comments on this post.

If you are targeting different countries. Register a Local domain, If you are targeting UK. Register a .co.uk Domain, have someone who is in that Country to Contribute. Ask them to give review on Local Hotel etc from the same Country. Or with a little bit of creativity you can have anyone from anywhere contribute to a blog or site. Include keywords in that content. (I am not suggesting to Stuff keyword) but keyword that makes sense to the User. And also find a host in that country and Host your site or Blog there. Why? Search Engines give preference to local. 2. Personalized Search Results will be given preference, So concentrate on giving Personalized Search and optimizing your Images, Videos, Press Releases, Blogs, your Podcast Feeds, Tags etc For more Internet Marketing, SEO Tips Visit: http://searchenginedetails.com Feel free to Comment and if you like the Content, Your Link would be greatly appriecated :) My SEO tip:
