NOTES TO ADVERTISERS

Your website MUST SELL your B&B in less than 8 seconds!!!

That is the average time a surfer takes to decide whether to read on from your home page.

Your website is absolutely critical to the success of your B&B.
The quality, size and number of great photos makes a massive difference to the number of viewers who will make an enquiry.
The majority of surfers using this site will be women.
Ask any of them why they picked a particular website from the lists here and they nearly always say:

"I liked the picture"

SO, if your website doesn't sparkle, you won't get the enquiries.

Ideal, low cost solution ! - A Single Web Page hosted on this website (newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk)

This consists of a single screen of information with up to 6 photos, hosted within this website.
New for 2010: We now include an embedded interactive map locating your accommodation.
We also edit and optimise your photographs for screen display and maximum impact.
The web address (URL) of your page would be :- http://www.newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk/links/yourname.htm
See here for an example

NOTE: Unlike pages of this type on most other directories, your page will NOT have any reference to newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk apart from the copyright notice in small text at the bottom of the page. There will be no links out of the page (except to the map service).
This is a great advantage, because you can link to this address from any other internet advert. (Many directories - including this one - will not link to pages which display or advertise a competitor website).

You will need to supply the photographs (attach them to an email).
You will also need to supply the main text content or refer me to another existing advert that can be copied.

Please complete the form here to apply and I will contact you to discuss.

SEARCH ENGINES and www.newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk

newforestbedbreakfast.co.ukis the top referring B&B directory for the New Forest.
Our clients' own website visitor statistics show us top of their league tables, month after month.

We do not expect you to pay to advertise on this site without your knowing how good we are!
So, unlike many other directories, we publish our site's performance for all to see.

These statistics are collected by our hosting supplier using Awstats.

This website is targeted at "new forest bed and breakfast" searches and the obvious variations such as "brockenhurst b and b" or "b and b beaulieu" etc.
To see for yourself how this website performs, try searching on Google or Yahoo! for "B and B in the New Forest" or "bed and breakfast in lymington" etc. Notice how newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk always seems to be the top of the results. Research shows that surfers nearly always click on the top 1 or 2 results. Once they get here, this website gives them an attractive, easy to use format with a huge choice. They are unlikely to go back to the search engine.

NOTES ON THE STATS:

1. The crucial column above is the second one - "Unique visitors". This indicates each new surfer looking at newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk.
The often-quoted huge number - "Hits" - is very misleading because:-
Each web page (of any site) is made up of the text (1 file) plus many other image and control files (such as gif and jpg pictures, css and scripts). Each file delivered by the server to make up the page that a surfer sees counts as a "Hit". This means that each page may contribute as many as 100 or more Hits. So, don't be mislead by advertising hype about millions of hits per year !

3. Analysis of our stats shows that advertisers each get between 300-600 click-thro's per month to their websites from newforestbedbreakfast.co.uk.
At £75 per year, this works out at between 1p and 2p per referral through to your website.
The actual number you get will depend on your location, the photo and your description text, in that order. So get an inviting photo!
