Copes Islander Oceanfront B&B
Comox
Valley bed and breakfast accommodation BC Canada
This is my own site, so it has had the full treatment on an ongoing
basis for roughly a year and I'm still finding new ways to "tweak" it a
little higher. The list of search terms for which it appears in #1 spot
on Google is lengthy. The site is currently receiving more than 200 visitors
a day on average. Test it out yourself using any search terms you think
might be used to look for a B&B or other accommodation in Courtenay,
or Vancouver Island, or British Columbia, or Canada. For the search term
"B&B" the site comes up #5 in the world. Of course, the more specific
to the location and type of accommodation the search is, the more often
it will appear as #1.
Some examples from searches on Google conducted Aug 5/03 include:
vancouver island bc -#3
vancouver island vacation rentals #3
canada bed and breakfast accommodation -#2
bed and breakfast vancouver island -#1
british columbia oceanfront bed and breakfast -#1

Singing Sands B&B B&B
accommodation- Comox Vancouver Island, BC
This is an example of the results of my search engine optimization work,
followed by links management and monthly maintenence. The existing website
was bringing in very little traffic. A rough and quick search engine optimization
job had been done but it was quite insufficient to get the website anywhere
near high enough in search results to garner any search engine traffic.
This, unfortunately is usually all you get when you hire someone who specializes
in website design to give you a search-engine-ready website.
bed and breakfast Vancouver Island -#5
b&b comox -#3
b&b vancouver island -#3
vancouver island b&b -#2
bed and breakfast Comox -#2
bed and breakfast Comox British Columbia -#2
update: Sept 29/03. Positioning continues to improve.
bed and breakfast Vancouver Island -#3
b&b ( Google search with browser set for pages from Canada ) -#2
b&b ( Google search, all sites world wide ) -#17
Note- this site is competing for all the same search terms as the Copes
Islander B&B site which occupies the #1 spot above it in each of the
searches listed ( except the last where it occupies #6 ). It can only attain
#1 by knocking my own site down to #2, which is not an accomplishment I
am aiming for.
Texada Island Retreat - British
Columbia motel accommodation Gulf Islands BC
This is an example of an "Out of Nowhere to the Top" project begun in
April 2003. The 'guaranteed' results have been obtained and exceeded, but
I'm still working at pushing it further and expanding the number of top
position search terms in order to obtain more traffic for the site.
This site is now obtaining top five positioning on Google for a good
range of search terms.
Some examples from searches on Google conducted Aug 4/03 include:

Rockport Mastiffs,
Old
English Mastiff Breeders - Mastiff puppy breeder
Optimization work begun June 18, 2004. This site has been around for
few years but had never had any effective optimization attention. The first
order of business was to remove the "frames" format which was interfering
with search engines reading the content of the site. Early results will
be posted soon.
June 23/04: Google has re-indexed the site with some of the initial
optimization work included. Some early results: Examples

new Jasmine Junction B&B Nanaimo
Bed and Breakfast / Holiday Rental accomodations
A start-from-scratch project commenced Sept 17/04. Site is still under
construction. Update should be available within a few weeks.
Update Sept 23/04 Site was submitted to Google Sept
22. A check of the site's tracker showing the site was already coming up
on page two for one search engine query shows that Google had found and
indexed the site sometime on or before Sept 22. This suggests that Google
indexed the site almost instantly or, more likely, after crawling one of
the links to the site already in place before the site was submitted to
Google.
Update Sept 24/04 Initial showing includes the following
first page results (as found on Google Sept 24/04):
B&B accomodation Nanaimo - #1
Nanaimo b&b accomodation - #5
accomodation Nanaimo Vancouver Island - #10
Update Nov 14/04 Site has been indexed in Inktomi's
database and is now showing some initial first page results on Yahoo and
MSN. (as found on Yahoo Nov 14 )
