The Least Known Tips To Running A Popular Hotel Information Website

By Jenny Peng


Your travel accommodations search website can be a key factor in having a successful business. A lot of times a customer will decide whether or not to do business with you based on your website. Is it up to date? Is it user friendly? Does the information make sense? The following tips will help you learn how to maintain an awesome hotel guide site.

Attempt to stay in the range of three to six hundred words when writing articles. This makes them long enough to give a satisfactory amount of information and short enough to keep the interest of the visitors on your travel accommodations search website.

Creating a Andriod app for your site opens it up to a whole different world of readers. You will have to know a fair bit of coding, or enlist the help of a programmer, but the rewards for the work you put into the app will be well worth it.

A podcast should be launched. It will increase your traffic because of less competition for podcasts out there. And, if you put little bit of effort, your podcast can become a leader within your niche quickly. You just need a USB microphone for recording.

Users generally like a short article, but if it's too short, the people will get the idea that you don't know what you're talking about. They want to read information that will satisfy, not tell them one thing and not the other. 300-600 words is usually perfect for a page of content.

There is often more trouble than it is worth to use a super cheap or free hosting service for your travel accommodations search website. Shoddy service and downtime will not be worth the money that you saved. You should do thorough research to ensure that hosting services are reputable and credible businesses.

Try launching a traffic contest. If you want traffic, get your readers involved! You could launch a contest where you ask other travel accommodations search website owners to send traffic to one particular page on your website. It could be the contest page itself (for viral effect) or a resource page, where you give away a E-book or another product. Establish a time frame for the contest, then let it play out! Afterward, check your web analytics to find out which hotel guide site sent you the most visitors, and give them a prize.

Spending a lot of time and money to make your site's pages beautiful may be a waste if few visitors stick around to admire them because of slow loads. Keeping your pages fairly short and breaking up lengthy content over a couple pages can shorten load times while improving the user experience.
