Today, March 30, 2009, begins an exciting week that offers several opportunities for anyone within the online travel industry to meet with top members of the EngineWorks team to discuss the tremendous benefits of high performance search engine marketing. Several of our key executives will be at the following three (3) world-renowned travel and tourism marketing events: TravelCom ’09, Mountain Travel Symposium, and Web 2.0 Expo.
As a hip Search Marketing Specialist here at EngineWorks, it’s important for me to stay ahead of the latest men’s fashion trends. During my monthly reading of Gentlemen’s Quarterly (a.k.a. ‘GQ’, for the uninitiated), I came across a glossy article today featuring one of our hallmark clients here at EngineWorks. The Osprey at Beaver Creek, a Beaver Creek luxury hotel owned by our client, RockResorts, is featured on page 23 of the April 2009 issue of this prominent magazine.
Finding the perfect hotel, hostel, or even couch for the night can be a time consuming project for any traveler. Luckily, The Times Online, one of the largest online newspapers in the UK, has released their list of the Top 100 Travel Websites for 2009. When planning your next trip, these highly rated sites are sure to add convenience, time-savings, and fun to your research and booking process.
Encouraging news from the online marketing research firm eMarketer today. In an article titled ‘Ad Cutbacks: A Silver Lining’, four major research and publishing companies are projecting that online marketing revenues, which make-up twelve percent (12%) of the overall advertising market, will experience significant growth throughout this year.
Businesses today expend significant effort to achieve highly ranked search listings within the major search engines. Potential customers who are unfamiliar with their brand often perform searches to research the company. The pages returned from a branded search query serve as the first impression of the business, and may be the decisive factor in customers’ buying decisions. Even the most well established brands can see years of hard work disappear due to a prominently positioned listing that contains damaging content within their relevant search results.
