If Operating A Popular Hotel Information Website Is Frustrating Read These Propositions

By Clyde Johson


Looking around for some sort of 'secret manual' on how to run a successful travel accommodations search website? So far as we're aware, that doesn't exist. But we have put together a collection of advice from experience site owners that can help you to improve your own website and draw a larger audience. Let's get to work on increasing the popularity of your content.

You want to offer visitors something special when you ask for emails and other personal information from them. A great giveaway can be a free instructional book if you have expertise in a particular field. This will help you to get the information that you want from users.

Adding a picture of yourself will make your travel accommodations search website more personal and trustworthy. It shows visitors that an actual person is running the website with their own sweat and effort instead of leaving it faceless to them. It will be more official if you include a privacy policy and section telling about the hotel guide site.

Experiment with video. As you probably heard, video is huge on the web immediately. If you are not experimenting with it yet, you should. If you want to do something simple, simply record yourself talking in front of the web cam obviously what you are talking about should be interesting to your visitors, as opposed to some general rambling.

Keep the front page information on your site as simple as possible. You can go into further detail on other pages, but you don't want to turn off novices by getting technical upfront. Those already familiar with your topic won't think anything of having to click a couple times to find the more advanced information.

Marketing your site offline is just as important as your online advertising. Some easy ways to do so are putting your url on your license plate and/or car, purchasing newspaper ads, putting up fliers and stickers, or sponsoring a little league team. There are tons of local opportunities right in your neighborhood.

The site's blog will be given a new dimension if you add podcasts. The delivery method changes when you record yourself speaking what you would have written. This is a new way to engage visitors, you can also invite those with expertise in the field to be in the podcasts.

When it comes to business the saying, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer," can't be truer. Even travel accommodations search websites, which is also a type of business, can benefit by working with the competition. Create a network of websites in your niche so that you can help each other by creating links that lead back to each others' sites. It will increase everyone's search rankings and everyone can benefit from it.
