It used to be so easy to set up a hotel reservation business online in the past 10 years as it was with a lot of online ventures. It did not require too much capital. So long as you have the internet connection and know how to create web pages many businesses we not easy to set up. For many of the, you cut out the cost of renting an office and many other costs.

Indexing of web pages were done free of charge in 48 hours by Alta Vista, Lycos, Google, to mention but a few. Those days look to be gone and may be gone forever. With many pages being created in a day and submitted to the search engines and also with the birth of pay per click which provides huge revenue for the search engines, those days of having easy rides from search engines may never come back.

Twelve years ago, I set up an online hotel reservation service, providing Cheap London bed and breakfast reservation services for travellers coming to London. Every page which was created was indexed and in 48 hours or less. At that time, Pay per click was not popular if even it existed then. Not only were the pages indexed, they were ranking very high for ...
... terms like bed and breakfast in London and cheap London hotels, Cheap London b&b and Central London hotels.

Nowadays, there are millions of pages created and submitted to the search engines each day because there are a lot of competitors entering the online hotel reservations industry. To get free indexing for our hotel pages, the Novices like us have to wait for some time before our pages get indexed. The tough competition out there also tells you that, both your in page and out page work should be spot on.

Nowadays, it will take the gurus and not the novices to create a web page and have it indexed in less than 48 hours without paying a cent for it. I know the experts have the technique to do it for the indexing because I read an article some few weeks ago about how to get your pages indexed quickly. Indexing may be possible but what about your pages showing up in the search results for the keywords which you have selected. One should be aware that, only having your web pages indexed will not necessarily start to generate income for your business. People who search for the product and services you are offering should also see your pages in the search results to click on before they can visit your site to have a look at what you are offering.

Many companies are taking advantage of the hard times claiming to offer Search Engine Optimization services with guaranteed results in 2 weeks. I will advise our competitors to be aware that, not all of them have the expertise to do what they say. Do not part with your money so quickly just because you are desperate. I have been there; Hotels and Conferences have parted with money so quickly and have not still seen results in 3 months. We have learned our lesson.

If you are new on the blocks and want to see returns quickly with your hotels pages, your best bet is pay per click campaign with the search engines for your keywords. The keywords for the Hotel booking sector are nowadays very expensive for the major search engines. Unfortunately, you will have to do it until your pages start showing up in search results for your hotels keywords and keyword phrases.
