As manager of Salt Spring's most
popular tourism website, I'm happy
to announce that we benefit from a
great deal of positive attention!
Each week, thousands of people come to saltspringmarket.com looking for information about Salt Spring.
Not only are we the favourite information site for tourists planning a trip to Salt Spring, but accommodations businesses are
asking to get on board. Why? The comment we hear most often is this:
"Every time I did a search for Salt Spring Island, your site came up
near the top!"
Such ranking and recognition do not come easily - we've worked hard to achieve
this high profile online.
"Why is this site so popular?"
It's our business.
We actively promote. The dollars you spend
advertising on saltspringmarket.com
are put directly toward further promotion of this site. The site is continuously being improved and
creatively publicized by our expert
marketing department. We keep adding new features to help tourists enjoy
their visit.
People appreciate what we do. Over the years this site has been
featured in hundreds of print and online articles,
and blogs.
Your business.
The internet is an extremely competitive playing field. Everyone wants to be #1.
Most web sites will not rank on
the first page of search
engine results. The good news is:
any web site advertising on
saltspringmarket.com can benefit from our hard
work and our top level ranking.
You know that tourists headed for Salt Spring plan their
trips online. Did you realize most
will visit this web site first? It's a fact. Before arriving on Salt Spring and before visiting the Tourist Information
booth, most tourists visit this site.
Measurable
results.
Folks who advertise
here, keep advertising here. Time
and time again site sponsors
tell us that we send them more
visitors than any other online
referrer. This they know from
tracking their own website stats and
from customer comments.
