Cost: $150 per person or $250 per couple taught by InnKeeper and website designer Dieter Gerhard of Birds of a Feather Victoria B&B

  • Do I need my own domain and my own website?
  • What should I expect from my website designer?
  • Which directories are worth while to pay to be listed?
  • What is search engine optimization?
  • What should I expect from my webmaster?
  • How can I network over the internet?
  • Should I be linking to other website's?
  • What value is there to be linked from other websites?
  • What publications should I pay to be listed in?
  • Should I print a brochure?
  • Should I join a B&B association?
  • Should I be listed with government tourist bureaus?
  • Should I join the Chamber of Commerce?
  • What considerations should I be aware of when choosing a domain name(s)?
  • Why should I not use an e-mail for my B&B that was provided to me by my ISP?
  • Why does where I host my website matter and why is price not the determining factor?
  • Why the e-mail solicitations you receive offering search engine submission are not only a waste of money but are in fact harmful to your indexing?

Again and again we hear the same scenario from Innkeepers who have spent hundreds, often thousands of dollars on websites and website promotion only to receive minimal bookings and/or be listed in the basement of search engines. Effective marketing using the internet requires understanding the profile of the B&B guest as well as the dynamic use of the internet by these very same guests when they are looking for accommodations. This course will give you an overview of how to stitch it all together.

Still not sure if this course is right for you? Go to Google and also to Yahoo and search for the two keyword phrases which statistics bear out as the most frequently used terms as it applies to Victoria B&B accommodation; specifically these phrases: "Victoria bed and breakfast" or  "bed and breakfast Victoria" You will consistently see Birds of a Feather B&B ( http://www.victorialodging.com ) and Oak Lane B&B (one of our clients) near the top of the listings. That's just the beginning!

Here's one free tip to save you money already.

When you get one of those annoying spams promising to submit your site to the search engines tell them to take a hike. SAVE YOUR MONEY!! if you allow them to submit your website and it is not search engine optimized before hand, then submitting your site to search engines is equivalent to telling them, "Hey, over here! Look at how search engine unfriendly my site is!". Now you've just paid these spammers to push you even further into the search engine basement.
