A whole year has passed before us. It’s time to think about the up coming year and what you can do to help increase your web site traffic.
1) Review every page on your web site - check spelling and grammar.
2) Update the prices of all your products
3) Add any new services or products
4) For products or services you no longer carry - update the web page to reflect that and mention other services or products with links to those pages
5) Write an article about your products or services and how it can help customers
6) Be sure to thank your customers for the business they gave you this year.
There are over a billion web sites out there on the internet! Those that take the time to do the Search Engine Marketing will be the ones that make money.
Happy New Year - Smitty
Rock River Lodge is in Costa Rica, I found that my friend, Norman whom owns Rock River Lodge - also owns some choice Costa Rican Real Estate over looking Lake Arenal not far from the lodge. Norman has several developments available - the lots are affordable and homes can be built to your specification.
Norman and company are preparing lots with roads, water, electricity and wonderful views from the hills surrounding Lake Arenal. Aside from just building a home to live in, there is so much to do in Costa Rica. We built a web site to offer a small glimse of the outdoor activities and lifestyle you can enjoy while in Costa Rica.
The secluded properties are designed for vacation homes, mountian villas or quiet getaways. Call Norman to find out how you can buy a small piece of paradise and build a home to your specifications.
The Hacienda Morenas S. A. corporation has several Costa Rican property developments:
* Vista Viento
* El Bosque
* Hacienda Morenas

What does it take to get your website to the top 10?
1) CONTENT! Good quality content that people like to read, like to reference and like to share with others.
2) Good grammar and correct spelling - There is nothing worse than poorly written content. So check your written work.
3) Incoming links - An easy way to get some incoming links is to exchange links with business partners. Be sure to submit your website to the search engines and directories. The hardest part is to continue this work every month to grow the number of quality incoming links.

4) Write Articles - Share your knowledge about a subject and become a reference.
5) Add content on a regular basis - keep your website fresh with new thoughts, products, services or news.
6) Press Releases can add more incoming links if what you have to say can be picked up by news or wire services.
7) Check your competition - what are they doing that you are not. If you are doing the same thing, then it’s time to be one up on them.
Don’t forget to make sure that each web page has a unique title, description and a keyword phrase. Use clean HTML code and check for errors.
Season’s Greetings!
