de Paulus and the Dordogne

Been a busy week, launched 3 new sites under 1 domain, and completely re-vamped an existing site. 

www.thedordogne.info  is the third Dordogne accommodation rental  site, cloned from the other 2, but excellent for the search engines, and I am putting some cheap packages together to maximise getting dordogne related sites onto the net.  

www.thedordogne.info/dordogne  a clone from dordogne-dordogne.com but another excellent way to get seen. SEO friendly, and already listed in the top pages of Google and LIVE. The second week is turning up more than 2000 unique hits with more than 18000 page hits.. Not bad going for a site that was launched just 2 weeks ago.  

www.thedordogne.info/directory  This baby is just 3 days old, and is still being worked on. It is an SEO Friendly link directory, for all and any Dordogne related web sites. So far I have created 3 packages, Free, Premium and Sponsered. This is a very good and cheap way to advertise your buisness.

www.leseyziesdetayac.com Not really a new site, but it has been completely changed. Very informative, SEO friendly and an excellent way to get your name on the net.

I have added a third site for Dordogne home owners to advertise their accommodation online. All three sites specialize in the Dordogne, and attract 1000’s of potential  customers looking for accommodation in the Dordogne.

If you have a B&B, Gite, Chambres d’hote, or any other holiday accommodation, you can add it to the following sites specializing in the Dordogne:

I have finally decided to finish depaulus.com, I have started on this site numerous times, but usually find myself working on one of my many other sites or someone elses.

Why this site? well, I have been asked so many times by lots of people “How do you get your web sites so high on the search engines?”.. 
I would like to say that I had a secret formula, and even more, i wish I did because I would be rich.. but  that is not the case, I do not have a secret formula.
However I do have over 30 websites all ranking high (first 3 pages of Google)this itself is a huge achievement.
Most of you will know that making a website is a lot easier than actually marketing your website, I always compare it with having a wonderfull restaurant in the woods, no matter how nice it is, if people don’t know it’s there, you are not going to get any customers, the same goes for a web site, there are millions of websites out there!, so how do you manage to get your web site in the top rankings of the mayor search engines (Google, Yahoo, Live )?

Here is a true and genuine example:

search in the 3 mentioned search enginges for a B&B in the Dordogne…
Search query: B&B Dordogne

Google: Results of about 555,000 for B&B Dordogne<. (0.19 seconds)
** On the pages 1-3 there are 11 sites that mention “Ferme de Tayac” 8 of those sites are mine, and 3 of the sites are 2nd party sites.

Yahoo: 350,000 for B & B Dordogne (About) - 0.02 sec  
** On the pages 1-3 , 11 sites are mine.

Live: 128,000 results.
** 1st page, 6 out of 10 sites are mine…
** On the pages 1-3 , 9 sites are mine.
