I need Tpunks Help.... - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

**benna2** · 03-17-2006, 07:39 AM

As most of you have probably read on the boards, I have started a business here in the Dominican Republic. I purchased four condos and plan on renting three of them out to vacationers (while living in the fourth one).

I have set up a website Sosua Vacation Rentals and would like to get as many hits as I can on it. The major search engines like Google, are based on hits and I would like to get on google because it is pretty much number one! Would it be possible to place a request with my fellow Tpunks for you guys to add my url to your favourites and click on it (and click on it...and click on it...) as many times as you wish, so I can get my hit number up?

Again, the link is Sosua Vacation Rentals

You guys Rock! We can have a party when I finally get recognized by Google!

Benna! My family can't all fit in one bedroom!!!!! Well, we can, but nobody sleeps very well. Are there pull out beds? How many people can one condo accommodate?

The site is nice - clear, colourful and easy to navigate. I clicked on both links, just to be sure they work. If everybody responds to this to keep in on the new posts page, we'll get you there in no time.

Just checked it again. It still works.

**Jen05** · 03-17-2006, 08:17 AM

Now you really made me want to leave the snow for the DR. The condos look fabulous! Nice site.

**Esterina** · 03-17-2006, 08:35 AM

Good luck Benna !

**expatben** · 03-17-2006, 08:42 AM

I've hit the link about a dozen times and plan on hitting it more every day until it is google recognised. Its a great site! I am sure it will be on google in no time.

**bluepea** · 03-17-2006, 08:43 AM

I checked too. It does work. I'll check in a little while to make sure it's still working.

**simply_angelic** · 03-17-2006, 09:49 AM

**beergal** · 03-17-2006, 09:52 AM

**benna2** · 03-17-2006, 10:43 AM

Google uses PageRank, which counts the number and rank of other pages linking to your site, so I'm adding a link to my site, and anyone with a travel blog should do the same.

I'm also advertising you to my friends as a great spring break idea. How many people could stay in one condo?

**tumblezweedz** · 03-17-2006, 01:17 PM

Yep, still works.

**benna2** · 03-17-2006, 03:39 PM

The condos are all one bedroom, generally best suited for two people. Thanks in advance to anyone who links my site to your pages!

Tumbleweedz....you are hilarious!!

But say a few college students wanted to rent one, would you have a limit? Just considering the DR for an interesting spring break trip.

Sweet sweet Dominican beaches. Wish I could head down sometime soon. I'm looking to go on a short-ish trip sometime this summer (1-2 weeks) but was thinking of N.S. or somewhere in the States so I don't have to pay for a flight, but now...we'll see. Congrats on setting that up.

OneFreeHour · 03-17-2006, 07:23 PM

just a side note I do website design as a job and you first need to submit your site to google and yahoo! I have a program at work tha twill submit a site to all the major search engines around the world about 250 of them I'll do that for you tomarow

BTW This is AgriAdam im on a diff screen name and too lazy to switch to my own.

also when I said tomarrow I meant monday when I actually go to work....

HAPPY ST FUCKING PATRICKS DAY ALLLLL

**TERI** · 03-17-2006, 09:09 PM

don't worry Benna, we all got your back. Your site is gonna take off, and your condos are gonna be booked before us tpunks can snatch 'em up for our own vacas. oh and I deff. want one for a month, but that'll be within the next year.

**benna2** · 03-18-2006, 06:36 AM

Thanks Adam!! That would be awesome...

**tumblezweedz** · 03-18-2006, 08:55 AM

Let's click again, like we did last summer...

Actually, this time it took a long time to load. I hate dial-up. :greenguy:

Last night I met a guy at the pub whose cousin is a Canadian speed skater - the one who won silver in some event (sorry, I'm such an expat, I don't have a clue the name.) Anyway, said cousin is getting married in DR pretty soon, and he (the guy I met - no clue his name, either) is going there for the event. Coincidence, eh? Beats March in Germany, that's for sure! So if you happen to meet the unlikely combination of a Canadian Olympic silver medallist and an American fighter pilot, then you'll almost have met me!
