Welcome to the Q&A Forum

A hotel brand dominating serps? Seems near impossible with all the clout OTA's have. How do you guys pull it off?

Thanks Andy! I will look to implement those changes! Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I hate to say it, but I'm with Marty. There's just no way to tell, and it's completely dependent on the editor(s) for your niche. Recently, I'm seeing many cases where people get a DMOZ listing and it's so deep in the site that the page isn't even indexed - so they wait months for this "great" link that then passes no link-juice at all. File a good submission and get on with life - that's all you can do, unless you know an editor personally.

Hello Champion! I see a lot of people having problems with this, and if you realize a simple truth the rewards of Facebook with be plentiful. You can not directly market as you have figured out because people go to Facebook to have fun or be at a party. You can't be "That Guy/Chick" at the party that ruins it for everyone, you have to be suave, chill and relaxed to get the "prey" eating out of your hand. Do things like, take pictures around work, post them on the Facebook. During company events show your employees having fun, put faces behind your company. People will look at your company more with those simple signals of "Hey we are people" and "We like to have fun just like you". You should easily start to generate traffic if you target friend requests based of the Niche you are selling to. IE if I am selling pokemon cards my Facebook account would have pictures of me wearing my pokemon badges, or hanging out with friends at Pokemon card tournaments, or pictures of pokemon to get the people looking at my Facebook going oh snap these guys are legit. Then if they are looking to buy cards they will already have my company or myself in their head and will naturally go with what they are most familiar with when they look for a supplier of pokemon cards. Be friendly and open, you will see what it can offer :D. Good luck on the Quest for the First page Champion! Justin Smith
