There are hundreds of travel and holiday directories on the web today. Each of them offers something in their own way. Many cost £20+ and for that you get a listing on an inner catagory page, and a link from a Pagerank 0 page to you site. Many are designed for SEO purposes - you are paying for a link in effect, that acts as a "vote" and can help your sites rankings in the search results. However almost all directory inner pages have PageRank (Googles rating of page authority) scores of zero or N/A, meaning you won't be getting much benefit at all! Your site will very rarely get a feature page of it's own. That means it is unlikely people will ever find your site via the directory as people rarely scroll through the results to find what they are after.
The USP (unique selling point) of The Travel Directory is that your business receives a whole page to itself. It can still be found via the catagory pages if people are searching, but your page can also appear as a result in Google or Bing. As you tailor your page, including what you want, relevant Google searches may bring up your exact page in the results, on page one. Therefore you will receive targeted traffic through the directory to your site.
So - the more relevant, unique inforation you include in your promotional article, the more likely your page will rank in Google. Because The Travel Directory is authoritative and trusted in Google, it makes it more more lkely an inner page will rank in the search results. And if the search is relevant to your page, it could be your page ranking.
So the Travel Directory is a marketing tool that ca drive traffic to your site. Of course we can't guarantee you will receive a hundred visits a month but we are confident you will easily get more than your moneys worth via the listing.
