New websites.

I have not been keeping my blog up to date, I wonder how many people start a blog and then at some point fail to keep it up to date, see it as a burden and then let it go. I have the added value of the effect of some of the links I create to a new website actually point Google to the website for the first time, the effect? I eliminate the sandbox effect. Anyway lates websites I'll mention a few:

Kirkfield Gardens is a very nice pair of self catering lodges set half way between edinburgh and Glasgow. Search terms are Luxury self catering for 2 and Holiday cottages for couples I am going through a phase of letting the website almost disappear, so that the images of the accommodation do all the talking.

Chien Bleu is a really lovely concept of a new guide for pet friendly accommodation. Erin has created a buisness based on creating a database of the best, pet friendly hotels and accommodation in the UK.

Search terms are Pet friendly Hotels and Pet friendly Accommodation

Steading at Nabny

The Steading at Nabny is a wonderful accommodation, quite "cosy" in proportions but beautifully finished.

I have optimised it for a few terms like "cottages for 2" and "romantic self catering cottage" and "remote self catering in Scotland" Ideally suited fro couples this is a romantic cottage and I hope the terms bring in many lucky couples.

Fife Bed and Breakfast

Fife Bed and Breakfast - Greenhead of Arnot is a spectacular, classic Scottish Country House Bed and Breakfast on the outskirts of Glenrothes in Fife. The owners Malcolm and Maggie are perfects hosts and have put a lot of effort into producing one of the finest B&B's in Scotland. The search stats showed that there are plenty of local searches "B&B Glenrothes" or "bed and breakfast in Fife" are two of many searches I am aiming to get this website listed for. I enjoyed creating this website, the photo shoot was interesting as I stayed in the single room overnight and woke to see that it had snowed overnight, I was worried about the lack of sunlight for the photos, but the sun came out and as you can see from the images I had a lovely morning taking photos of all the rooms and especially the glorious entrance hall.

Pet Friendly Self Catering in Scotland

Pet Friendly Self Catering in Scotland - Hope Cottage is a lovely cottage set in the wilderness landscape of Durisdeer in the north of Dumfries and Galloway. The cottage is devoted to pet owners wanting a relaxing walking break in a beautiful location. I took all the images as I normally do for holiday cottages and created a website to really target the primary potential customer. So the Google Search Stats show healthy search terms like "dog friendly self catering Scotland" and "pet friendly cottage Scotland" so I have optimised for these terms and found that is started to work within just a few days. It is not on page 1 yet and the visitor levels won't kick in until it gets to page 1, but I hope it will be very soon.
