THE INTERNET, A DREAM OF A MARKETING TOOL FOR SMALL HOTELS
Because for once it is not about who has the biggest budget, but about being smarter than others.
It is no miracle it are often small hotels that rank higher in the search engines. They just have this one thing that is of prime importance in the rapidly evolving world of the Internet - flexibility.
And little wonder it are especially small hotels that are searching for SEO solutions.
But take care, there are a few common pitfalls:
Unrealistic or false promises
High rankings are not easy
UNREALISTIC OR FALSE PROMISES
The Internet is literally saturated with them. "Pay 30$ and rank Number 1". "On top of the search engines in 48 hours"!
Obviously, this is sheer nonsense, nothing but a money trap.
If it were that easy, we would all be on top of the search engines.
In fact, it would be like saying: "Pay 30$ and win the Olympics".
HIGH RANKINGS ARE NOT EASY
If you hear or read a phrase as "top rankings are easy"... then you better run.
There are 400 million active websites online. Google indexed over 1 trillion web pages. Millions in the world are focussing on SEO.
Most probably if you go to Google or Yahoo and search for "hotel in X"... the search engine might return hundreds of thousands of pages.
Try to picture that:
Hundreds of thousands of pages that compete with your website.
SEO is not easy at all. It is work and it is a craft.
