I am very excited to introduce our new Professional Link Development Service!

There is nothing else in web marketing that can compare to the long term advantages of building links.

Step One – We create A Series Of Search Engine Optimized Articles About Your Business.

Our Online Traffic Specialist visits your website – takes the content of your website, and reorganizes/optimizes it around your best keyword phrases. Then, he creates several custom-made articles that are carefully embedded with a rotating selection of search engine friendly links to your website pages.

Step Two – Getting The Word Out

Phase One: Your Search Engine Optimized articles (with relevant links to inner pages of your website) are slowly distributed across an out-sourced network of over 13,000 established blogs! This creates a natural growth of more and more one-way links pointing to your website!

Phase Two: Your Search Engine Optimized articles are slowly and methodically bookmarked throughout our network of over 13,000 social medial profiles and social bookmarking sites! This natural pattern of social voting, provides credibility to your articles, and over time, helps to broaden the awareness of your brand, boost your search engine rankings, and establish your main website as an Authority Website in your niche!

Step Three – Monthly Link Reports… and your VITAL Follow-Up.

Each month you will receive a complete list of all the places your article is posted, and all the social bookmarking profiles where your articles are linked.

You can tremendously increase the cumulative benefit of all your new links by ‘Commenting’ on the posted articles, by ‘liking’ the bookmarks, and participating in other social options that help add credibility to the new links pointing to your website.

Nothing else  compares to the advantages of links!

Why A Website Is Important For A Lodge

When you are struggling to build more traffic to your Fishing or Hunting Lodge website, it’s important to know that the same marketing techniques apply for your topic, as for any other topic online.

It’s Not A Mystery

There is no quick fix for getting traffic – unless you pay for it. However, there is a clear and repeatable process to increase your website traffic that will work in any subject area or market.

Great Example

Here’s a FANTASTIC article on How To Improve Your Website Traffic. It covers all the the marketing processes you should know about it you own a business with a website. Even if you outsource the actual work to your webmaster, it’s important that you understand the work you are hiring and the results you should expect.

Internet Marketing For Tourism

Web Design for Fishing Lodges and Hunting Camps should include a strong mix of Social Media Marketing.

A new blog is like a sailboat in the open waters – if you want to get anywhere, you have to unfurl the sails.

As a sail catches the wind, your web strategies aim to catch visitors, or traffic.

And, just as the angle, or presentation of the sail to the wind gives speed to the boat, it is the presentation of your Brand that will direct your visitors to take action – and give momentum to your internet marketing results.

It’s all about Traffic and Conversions – but how do you get there?

If you set sail from Newfoundland, you already know that you must pass Nova Scotia and New York, and a lot of other places, before you can get to Jacksonville, Florida.

But the path from here to there in the ‘Internet Marketing World’ may be unclear – and the path may appear very different, depending on which expert you speak with.

However, all the marketing strategies you may hear, seem to have three common themes;

The First Common Theme – Search Engines

Search Engine Optimization is built-in with WordPress; and completed as you post to your blog.

If you set up with the correct WordPress Plugins, you can forget about SEO – just write for your readers, not the search engines. Your WordPress setup takes care of the technical SEO details.

In other words, SEO is pretty much automatic. Pick just one or two phrases from your list of ideal keyword phrases and then write your content for your readers.

Simply tag your posts – and you’ve completed your work for the search engines.

The Second Common Theme – Social Media

A boomerang only comes back if you throw it.

The Social Bookmarking and Social Networking Sites CAN have a tremendous impact on your business.

Get familiar with Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg – they each take a little practice – start with a small list of friends – be selective. Make mistakes on a small scale.

Remember: There is no need to provide any more information about yourself than what is already available on the Contact Us page of your website. You can adjust your privacy levels to suit your comfort. Start today.

The MAIN Common Marketing Theme

Building Subscribers.  It’s about providing great content on a specific topic – and getting the word out that you provide it. 

If you are technical, or a business owner, you may be interested in reviewing my simple strategy of Syndicating your RSS Feed to create the Echo Effect of Social Bookmarking.

A Glaring Need

Tourism Marketing Videos came to being in phases, as all good ideas do:

First, I saw a glaring need: Lodge Owners need help learning how to manage their websites.

Recently I’ve upgraded many of my clients’ websites to WordPress 2.7

Although their website is ten years old, many Lodge owners are just starting to Blog and update their own websites for the very first time.

I Can Help!

Second, I saw a way to offer much more help than I could provide on my own.

As I began researching what educational videos were available, I was – mostly – delighted with the results. I was delighted, because I started learning so much new information, I naturally started to bookmark and organize it.

Then a very curious thing started to happen;
My own personal marketing results began to change.

Without planning it, and without giving much thought to it, I had started to return to various bits of my video collection on a regular basis, and after a short while, I began realize this stuff was pretty cool!

I was making more sales but -
I still hadn’t realized the tremendous value
of the specialized collection of videos I was putting together.

Action Items and Examples

My marketing results were changing because I had taken action. I took the new knowledge and immediately put it to use.

This is so vital – but most people overlook it’s importance.

If you take action right away, take the new knowledge you’ve just learned and immediately put to use, you are 80% more likely to retain and use the new information in the future!

They don’t have to be big actions. Often, it takes less than 30 minutes to take one of these great ideas and increase your value!

Just 30 minutes to make VITAL changes to the presentation, layout, images or sales copy – and reap the ongoing rewards!

I can help you can do the same. www.TourismMarketingVideos.com

Relax, It’s Easier

Say you are a Fishing Lodge Owner, a Bed and Breakfast or the event organizer for the Annual Fishing Tournament; Relax, it’s easier to update your site than ever before.

Learn by Video

Stop reading manuals written by nerds. Sit back and watch a How To Video!

Great marketing ideas are… great – but how can I put it into action if I’m not sure what my options are?

See you there!

You’ve likely heard it already.

You already know that 2/3 of travelers
ONLY use the Internet to plan their vacations.

From mapping the driving route or booking the airline tickets, booking transportation, accommodations and event tickets, to browsing pictures and menus to find local restaurants before they start their vacation – today’s travelers are captivated by a relationship that BEGINS and grows online.

Today, it’s easier to market online.

It’s true.

And tourism marketing stands to gain the most.

New Social Media sites like Facebook have made it easy and compeling for millions of people to register and connect with dozens, sometimes hundreds of family and friends.

Match this up with the fact that, on a personal level, most Tourism Operators have also used Social Media sites to connect with their family and friends online – and it’s like peanut butter and chocolate!

Now, more than ever, travel and tourism business owners can target and build a relationship with their ideal client, while both people are at home, without the cost of traveling to Sport Shows

Remember – your ideal client now logs into Facebook or eMail daily…
but, they attend Sport Shows annually…

With the massive growth of unlimited variations of Niche Web 2.0 sites, where you can register a profile and build a network of friends, comes a new breed of great tools.

First, the Feed Aggregator Generation – created to pull the updates from all your social profiles into one, easy to follow place.  These sites are also known as lifestreams.

Second, Posting Management Sevices – created to co-ordinate and manage posting to many services at once, without the hastle of visiting each site, logging in, and adding the content.

I look forward to what’s next!

Today’s web gives you the power to create a detailed array of relevant links to your website thru the use of Blogging sites, Social Bookmarking sites, Social Networking sites, Photo Sharing sites, File Sharing Sites, Video Sharing Sites… and the list goes on.

In fact, the list is so huge, a host of new services have evolved to help coordinate and centralize the information flow from all of your various profiles.

These new Web 2.0 Sites are called Feed Aggregators.
They aggregate your RSS Feeds into one stream of updates.

Since I’m always seeking to better use the web for marketing, I set up a few Aggregators for a number of my feeds.  After a short time, I noticed that I was getting indexed in Google within minutes of when I posted to my blog, and, to my surprise, the aggregator websites were also ranking within the top 20 search results! And so, following the principal “If it works, do more of it”…

Today I am reviewing a List of RSS Feed Aggregator services
as I go through the process of registering for all of them. 

Because I market to a number of different niches, I figure it would be best for me to create an individual account at each Aggregator for each of the unique niche’s I focus on.  Tedious?  Rather!  But I only have to do it once, and the Aggregator does its Search Engine magic for a long, long time without further maintenance.

GETTING PREPARED
Start by visiting all your blogs and profiles and collect up the URL’s for all your RSS Feeds.  Save them all in a unique file that is easy to find and update when you add your business information to a new service.

• www.Filtrbox.com – looks like a powerful service.  It has two different paid levels – so I’m figuring it must have some great PageRank juice because of high trust in Google… but it’s not intuitive to set up, has how-to videos – and I’m on dail up at the lake right now.  So I’ve added this one to my list so you can review it, but I’ll set it up further when I’m on highspeed.
• www.Feedkiller.com – no registration required.  Name your stream, add your RSS Feeds and click Build It.  You are given an URL where your feeds are collected into one centralized RSS Feed stream… So I Stubbled the new feed page, and added the RSS Feed to my list that I’ll add to the next aggregators on my list! (note: this new aggregate feed didn’t work in Whereisme.com)
• www.Feedtweeter.com – Feedtweeter says it’s ’A little service that allows you to link Twitter and Plurk to your other activities.’  Feedtweeter can now monitor your Identi.ca posts too: Post something in Identi.ca, and it will appear in Plurk and/or Twitter too. (with a few minutes delay).  This is a cool service, but I’m already set up on www.ping.fm - a more comprehensive version of the same service… 
• www.lifestream.fm looks great.  I’ve applied for an invitation code and Tweeted to my twitter followers to see if anyone has an invitation code they could send me. 
• www.whereisme.com  - a web identity aggregator. It takes all the places you do things on the web and centralizes them for you to show off. This is a *great* place to collect the RSS Feeds from all of your blogs and a wide selection of the biggest Social Media sites, like Blogger, del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Last.fm and several other top names.  Get a cup of coffee – this one’s worth your time.
• www.daylife.com – a new way to explore the world, they say – which is pretty vague to me… it’s a collection on online news sources where you can “star” things of interest.  I looked for a way to add my feeds, there was a link at the bottome right of the footer in the page where I suggested my feeds… If you are looking for an aggregator for your own feeds, skip this site.
• http://linkbun.ch/ - lets you put multiple links into one small link which you can share over IM, Twitter, email or even a mobile phone SMS. So, I put all my fishing blogs into a bunch, and this service created an individual page, listing my bunch of links!  Another easy way to create one-way links to your website. 

Ok – I’ve gone over-time in writing this post.  Here are a few more RSS Feed Aggregator Services that I’ll be registering with – I haven’t tried them yet, let me know which are best!
