When you do a key word search in a search engine, do you go deeper than 1, 2, or maybe 3 pages? Most do not. 90% of the millions of daily searches stay in top 3 pages with 90% of all Internet traffic coming from search engines Google, MSN and Yahoo. This is why earning and keeping top ranking in these "big 3" for many wise tourism promoters, is one of their most profitable travel marketing strategies.
The active process of earning and keeping top ranking is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Here's some top tools and quick tips to enhance your ranking, or keep your ranking, no matter if you do it yourself or hire a SEO specialist.
What Are the Key Elements to Earn and Keep Top Ranking?
For Google, Yahoo and MSN it is all about your website's "relevancy". The websites that are most relevant to a key word search show up on the first pages. What determines your website relevancy falls into three main categories; your theme as defined by your content, HTML Meta tags and number of quality inbound relevant web links pointed at your website.

2: HTML Meta Tags
HTML Meta tags help the search engine determine what your website is about. Find out your website's Meta tags or your competitors by looking for the "View Source" in your web browser when you have a page open. The most important Meta tags include, your page title, brief description and your key words. Once again, you want these to reflect your website theme and top key word phrases.

The search engines are more likely to give your website higher ranking if you have more quality inbound links than your competitor because your website is considered more of a "authority site".
