Re: Free Vacations

I don't think there's anything such as a free vacation. I checked the link and it's asking for some personal information. Sorry but I won't bite.

Re: Is it worth having my own vacation rental website?

Having your own web site is a must. However, it will not get you instant results. Its a labour of love or an investment for the future. Also, its only part of the marketing picture. Our site on Orlando Vacation Rental Homes is a good example. I get between 40 and 100 visitors per day but it has taken me 18 months to get that amount of traffic from organic...

Re: RENTALO.COM - ADVERTISERS BEWARE!!

I definitely can believe it. In today's atmosphere you almost have to be ready for it when dealing with some companies on the internet. I would recommend some research on the firm before using it.

Re: How to increase your vacation rental search engine rankings?

Depending on your rentals name and location I would pick some very specific keywords to focus on. If your a condo use the name of the building in your title will definitely help everytime someone searches the building you own in. For specific sites it is going to be next to impossible to get high ranking on broad searches.

Re: Increase your vacation rental website's rankings in the major search engines

Good quality, relevant backlinks are indeed a necessity for a website. I value the links that I have gained from this network highly, and so does Google.
