SEO for Innkeepers, Part 9:
Index your website on Google and
other Search Engines
|
Co-Authored by Thomas Brown, SEO Expert and Psychologist
About
This Series: SEO stands for "search engine optimization." Google is the
world's best-known search engine, but there are others, including Yahoo
and MSN. SEO is the art of designing the content of a web page for
optimal find-ability by a search engine - designing it in a way that
makes it easy for a user to find, using a search engine. For
innkeepers, SEO means designing an inn's site in a way that makes it
easy for a potential guest to find it, using a search engine like
Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, or any other.
The
following article outlines the 9th ongoing installment of 10 ways to
design websites for maximum search engine optimization in the long term.
Index your website on Google and other Search Engines
Don't wait for Google, MSN, Yahoo or any other search
engine to find you. Submit your primary and/or
new web pages to each search engine.
"I'm often asked about how Google and search engines work. One key
question is: how does Google know what parts of a website the site
owner wants to have show up in search results? Can publishers specify
that some parts of the site should be private and non-searchable? The
good news is that those who publish on the web have a lot of control
over which pages should appear in search results." - Dan Crow, Product Manager, Google

In each issue, the newsletter promotes time sensitive, topical deals,

Cinco de Mayo Specials or stay at a B&B while attending a graduation. Those inns
that upload specials are the inns that get the free publicity.
Uploading your specials and recipes is easy. According to Rob Torres, Google's Managing Director of Travel, deal searches have grown 30% since last year!

I am excited to announce that this summer we will be publishing a new cookbook in our Cinnamon Mornings series titled "Cinnamon Mornings and Savory Nights."
If you are a member and would like your recipe included, please do let me know, our team will review all requests and get back to you promptly as we have room for a few more recipes. Email us.
All
Inn recipes featured in the cookbook will include property information
so that guests may contact you directly and you may use the cookbook
for your own marketing efforts!
There
is no entry fee for member inclusion but we do ask that you purchase 25
copies at a 50% discount to offer to your guests at the time of publication (you will recuperate
the cost of the book with each purchase, making 50% profit for your
Inn). We expect to sell out on this book and are working hard to
create another award winning publication. Past editions have sold out and have been extensively reviewed in the press.
I really love to cook and look forward to sampling your recipes.
