Why get listed?
No Commission required
Direct contact with the client. As a paid listing client, we put your
contact details on your listing, therefore enquiries are forwarded directly to
you and do not go through a central reservations system. You therefore
do not pay us commission or any other excess on any of your bookings.
Mini Website and Gallery
As
a paid listing client, we create your listing as a 'mini website' to
best represent your establishment, with a write up of your
establishment, facilities, area activities, driving directions (if you
have those available) and a mini gallery of up to 18 images. In
addition, since we are experts in SEO, we also optimize each listing
with search engine friendly keywords and links throughout your listing
to other helpful and beneficial, tourist-drawing information about the
area.
Profile and Maximum Exposure
We market our site for various events such as Hluhluwe Game Auction,
RBCT relay run, Hippo Rally, SELGA games etc. We like to keep up to
date with events happening in the area and market those on our site,
bringing tourists into the area.
We are developing other sites linked to ours and they are quickly moving up on the google search engine ranking. Our website Richards Bay Accommodation ranks No.1 on Google
when typing in the keywords "Richards Bay" or "Richards Bay
Accommodation". We are continuously developing and growing
our sites and we anticipate all of our sites reaching that no.1
position.
Our accommodation sites are interlinked, that way tourists and visitors
could come in from many of our town portals into the yPongola Accommodation site.
Our popular Zululand Zig Zag
site (the portal of Zululand information, history, maps, events etc),
is also linked to our accommodation sites.
We also have a "Specials" page with a space for each establishment. All
you need to do as a paid listing client is submit any particular
specials you may be running during a month or season and we will gladly
post them for you. We will also market specials and news listings in our electronic newsletter.
We will list your establishment under all the relevant categories
pertaining to your particular services at no extra cost, example
"Pongola Lodges", "Pongola bed & breakfasts", Pongola
self-catering". Where possible, we will also give your service as much
profile as possible, and list other services you may offer under their
various categories such as events, group bookings, conferences etc.
