How to Use Articles to Promote Your Vacation Rental

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Joe Smith asked:


Writing and submitting articles about your vacation rental is the cheapest and most cost effective form of advertising a property owner can do to increase traffic to his/her property listing.

Article writing increases traffic to your listing as it is picked up by several travel and vacation websites and blogs through our RSS (really simple syndication) feed and creates quality back links to your property listing, which is important in increasing organic web traffic (search engine optimization).

Article writing is also very cost effective as you can write your own vacation rental articles for FREE or hire a freelance writer for just a few dollars an article.

You do not need to be an expert writer, just write at least 4 articles (seasonal) annually and they may be a long or short as you wish, but 400-600 words are best.

When you are writing your vacation rental promotion articles, utilize “keywords” to increase your efforts with the top search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. Keywords are search terms a property renter may enter in to search engines when searching for a vacation rental, such as “Florida Keys vacation homes”.

Include your keywords in the title and throughout the body of your vacation rental article for maximum exposure and increase your organic search engine rankings.

Talk about your vacation rental, area attractions, restaurants, unique shops and shopping opportunities, hidden treasures, what to see or what not to see, etc. and utilize keywords such as “Disney vacation rental” or near “Florida Keys scuba diving” or “Caribbean deep sea fishing charters”.

Make your vacation rental article visually appealing and include 1 quality photo with your article. Your article should be no larger than 400×400 pixels.

Ok, you have your FREE, well written, keyword optimized vacation rental article and quality photo, where can you have your article published for FREE? Our vacation blog, YTB Travelmore World Travel and Vacations Blog accepts articles with photos. Email your articles and photos to our webmaster.

You may also submit your article to several FREE article directories, such as www(dot)amazines(dot)com, these are the article directories I use in addition to my own vacation blogs. These article directories will not accept photos, but are effective just the same.

How to Find Cheap Vacation Rentals

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
Alice Shown asked:


Sad that you cannot afford a luxury room in a plush resort? Well, there’s no need to shelve your holiday plans just because of that. With the all new craze among travel bugs, you no longer need to dole out more than half your traveling budget on rooms. Inexpensive vacation rentals allow you to enjoy a dream vacation for a very low price.

Cheap vacation rentals are very attractive these days because:



You can easily find the accommodation of your choice for much less than you would imagine. Your vacation rental could be a one bedroom log cabin, a condo, a flat or a 6-room villa.





Private accommodation ensures more privacy, comfortable amenities, more space and good food – all for a song! Most vacation rentals have their own private gardens and a huge array of amenities like washer, dryer, refrigerator, high speed internet connection, spa, fireplace, a private pool and much more. These make your stay more comfortable though inexpensive.





Cheap vacation rentals help you save a lot of money. The convenience of a full fledged kitchen means you needn’t waste money on eating out. A good washer and dryer system is another money saver.



Unlike hotels, vacation rentals have fewer rules. It’s almost like staying at home. For instance, many cheap vacation rentals are pet friendly and they do not have prying eyes following your every move.

In the past, travelers had little choice but depend on travel agencies to find them suitable hotel rooms or vacation rentals. As a result, most travelers had to pay a hefty price even for cheap rentals. Also, there was the element of security. Travelers to a foreign country often felt safer booking with a hotel because they could not see the vacation rental or get any opinion about it beforehand. All that has changed.

Inexpensive communication tools and the internet have made it possible for people to arrange their own cheap vacation rentals. Vacation rental websites are dedicated to offering vacation rentals in a particular area. All you have to do is enter the required information in their search boxes and wait for the listings to appear. Most of the listings come with pictures and testimonials. This makes it possible for you to make an educated decision, in the shortest possible time.

But, the plethora of information on the web regarding cheap holidays and inexpensive vacation rentals can become somewhat overwhelming. So, given below are a few guidelines that help you find the cheapest vacation rentals easily.



Many rental websites offer free services. Of course, they make their profits elsewhere. But the point is this: there is no need for you to join a paid website.





Choose vacation rental websites that are directly associated with property managers, as opposed to individual owners. When you deal with individual owners, the risk you undertake is slightly higher. Also, there are no guarantees on timely response and security. On the other hand, property managers are only too happy to respond to your queries, make suggestions and help you find the facilities you want.





A reputed company is always the best choice when it comes to finding cheap vacation rentals. When you go directly to individual owners, you never know whether the property really exists and whether the pictures are genuine. A reputed company will verify these for you before they list the rental.

Affordable Dominican Republic Vacation Rentals

Monday, January 4th, 2010
shanti bhushan pathak asked:


Vacation Rentals are favorite tourist rest places during their stay away from home. There are many reasons why tourists prefer vacation rentals over hotels. One of the primary reasons is the feeling of “home away from home”. These vacation rentals charge much less than hotels. Let me elaborate a little more about vacation rentals before I focus on Dominican Vacation Rentals. A vacation rental is a house with many modern amenities that one can call luxury. This can be anything trivial from daily maid service to high end luxury like sauna and an in-house gymnasium with a private swimming pool. Dominican Republic is a tourist hotspot from many years. However in recent times tourists from United States, Europe and Asia have been frequenting the place more regularly.

These tourists with substantial amount of money in their pockets prefer staying in a vacation rental with modern amenities. Owner of Dominican Vacation Rentals have responded suitably with many modern vacation rentals coming up in the region. The rates in a vacation rental are generally charged on a per week basis. In the Dominican Republic vacation rentals can have anything from 2 to 6 bedrooms. A family can walk into a vacation rental and get the same feeling of their home. This is what makes vacation rentals better staying options than hotels. Just in the case of hotels the charges of vacation rentals will vary as per the seasons. It is important that tourists do a thorough research before booking their rentals.

There are various offers that are available round the year for Dominican Vacation Rentals. Online portals which list vacation rentals are in a better position to track and inform visitors about the offers. Tourists can get a host of benefits while staying in a vacation rental such as money exchange services, personal assistants, cellular phone rental, concierge Service and many more. These services are comparable with what is offered in a star hotel in the Dominican Republic. It is anyone’s guess that vacation rentals are in high demand during the peak seasons. Therefore tourists planning to visit should make their bookings in advance to ensure that there is no disappointment. The second best option to vacation rentals is studio apartments which cost less but offer a comfortable living to the tourists.

What an average tourist would be looking at is an affordable vacation rental. In the Dominican Republic, there is no dearth of vacation rentals and condos for tourists but in the peak seasons even that is not enough. Without proper branding and a larger umbrella to market their services, vacation rentals are sometimes overlooked by tourists. However, online portals are bringing them closer to customers. Customers simply like it. In the present economic downturn travelers are looking for cheaper options to stay and vacation rentals are the right fit. Seeing the growth many people are jumping into the fray in the unorganized sector. It would not be long before we see active participation from larger players in the vacation rental space.
