Folks,
For the benefit of anyone who missed all the posts on the value of reviews, let me just put this one last piece out here to consider.
When the
Review of the Galleon Resort was submitted, as an example, we started a
new topic and links to the resort page that had the review. Guess what? A search on the term "Review of the Galleon Resort" on Google today puts the thread and the resort page at position 11 of 207,000.
The power of "talk" is invaluable! If you have an ad for a resort on our classifieds pages, it will serve you better to write a review, start a discussion about your resort, and make a few links to the resort page than anything else you can do to promote your ad and your resort.
Don't take my word on it, take a look at how many hits the thread for "Review of the Galleon Resort" has had. Well over two hundred since it was written. Imagine, all those visitors can then easily make their way to the ads for this resort, it is a goldmine waiting to be had. Build your own marketing campaign by starting a thread and writing a review; you won't be dissappointed and it only takes a few minutes.
