Charlottesville Travel Agents are learning the power of the blog - a great online channel of communication that bridges the gap between traditional face-to-face interaction with static online websites that plague the Internet.

Blogs have recently been publicized as a critical element of a business' internet marketing strategy.  Unfortunately, most business owners have either failed to grasp the concept or fallen short in their attempt to reach their niche market (measured to some degree in Google search results).

Like most marketing tactics, simply posting a blog in not enough.  It might be compared to advertising in a magazine that never goes to print.  If the blog fails to draw traffic and ultimately convert those prospects into active leads, it's really just a waste of time.

As you reflect on your internet marketing strategy, consider your investment in blogging, as this Charlottesville Travel Agent blog writer has done.

Cheers!

 
 

Search engine optimization is so critical to the success of a website and Charlottesville travel agents need to understand the implications of proper implementation.

Some basic on-page SEO tips:
- choose keywords for your site that mirror the search behavior of your niche (understand the balance between keyword search volume and competition)
- consistently apply these keywords in your site, including titles, headers, meta tags, links, etc.
- provide titles and alt attributes to images and ask search engines to index them
- optimize robots.txt and sitemap.xml

A host of off-page SEO strategies are also important to fully leverage the power of search engine optimization.  There is more information for Charlottesville travel agents to learn about SEO in this discussion about a recent travel industry study from the UK: Charlottesville Travel Agent Websites Learn from UK Study.
