You do have a list, don’t you?

Traveljunkies For Businesses

When Google Doesn’t Find You.

You know how you feel when you’re searching for something on Google and it’s not on page 1.
And you know how frustrating it is when you scroll down the next 3 or 4 pages and you still can’t find it, so you settle for the best option you’ve found.

This is disastrous when you run a small business and you’re on Page 17.

Getting found, keeping attention and being remembered is now harder than ever, and doing what everyone else does isn’t going to help.

You know that big businesses post adverts relentlessly to brainwash us to remember them. And it works. But what small business has the time and money to do the same?

So what can you do when you don’t get found?

One trick is to use a business that’s already on Page 1.

And that’s where Traveljunkies comes in.

We’ve been connecting travellers and small businesses since 2006 and Google’s algorithm recognises our value. That’s why Traveljunkies Adventure Travel Directory is on Page 1 of Google, and just about every other search engine.

So give it a try and see what we can do for you.

Get your free listing in Traveljunkies here.

It takes 5 mins, it’s simple to do and you only need your business name and web address. We do the rest.

PS. If you don’t have a website you can now use your blog, your social media account or somewhere else where you advertise your business.

Traveljunkies For Travellers

Posted on by

Traveljunkies For Travellers.

So you want a holiday.

Maybe you’re looking for something different or exciting to do, or explore somewhere you haven’t been before.
Whatever you decide you’ll need to find where to go, what to do and where to stay.

This is where Traveljunkies comes in.

Let’s assume you don’t want to join thousands of other people all wanting to do the same thing and go to the same places, because if you do there are plenty of big businesses ready to sell you packaged holidays to almost anywhere in the world.

Travelling has been difficult for many in the past few years, but things are changing and the change is being led by small businesses, many of which are family owned and run.

So how do these small businesses compete with the big ones with unlimited resources. Quite simply, they don’t have to.

Here, at Traveljunkies, we only promote and refer small businesses.

Google is great if you know exactly what you’re looking for but actually finding the best solution can be another matter.
(For example, a Google search for Adventure Travel produces 1.37 Billion results. 99% of which are irrelevant).

Most of the time, we don’t find the best option and we choose the best option from those we’ve found. As soon as we find something that seems like what we want, we may not look any further or at least not beyond the next few pages. But what if the best option is actually on Page 17.

This is where Traveljunkies helps.

A simple search for a single word will find every entry that contains that word, and they’re all on the one page. Then filter the results until you find exactly what you want. How simple can that be?

So, if you’re looking for something that’s different, that avoids the crowds, and where you can get the personal attention only small businesses can do, then hit us up at www.traveljunkies.com

Our customers are looking forward to welcoming you.

Traveljunkies, What Happened?

Posted on by

It’s great to have the original version of Traveljunkies back and and we’re working hard to get it bang up to date.
You’ve told us you like Traveljunkies because it’s easy to use to find stuff without getting the millions of pages Google generously gives you.
In fact, one of our favourite slogans is Traveljunkies Works When Google Doesn’t.

Google is great if you’re big enough to be on Page 1 or 2 or 3.
But what if you’re not? And how do your customers find you with a simple search.
Google shows 9 Billion results for Travel

So what can you find in Traveljunkies? Try it. Search for any travel keyword and see what turns up

What happened and why have we been out of touch? 

Just before the pandemic hit, we decided to update Traveljunkies to get ready for the huge explosion of new stuff like Artificial Intelligence (AI), and we chose a reputable company to help us.

This is when the trouble started.

Instead of doing what we instructed, our new partner’s Account Manager decided to create a completely new website. She didn’t tell us and the first we knew was when it was presented.
It looked ok and we were assured it was what we needed to go forward.
After all, I was paying for our new partner’s help and advice.

Months later and after many changes, we found the new website was for travel agents and not suitable for us.
And because they failed to correctly load more than 2000 customers it was useless.

The story still isn’t finished but the good news is we’re back on track referring travellers to our customers websites.
Throughout this ordeal, we stayed on Google Page 1 and on most other search engines, so we’re still easy to find.

Just search Google for Traveljunkies.

Stand Out & Get Found

Posted on by

Getting found isn’t difficult.

It isn’t hard to find something if you search for the right keywords.
So why is it you sometimes can’t find what you’re looking for?

This happens when whoever wrote what you’re looking for didn’t include the keywords you would use. And it happens a lot.
Take the word travel. A Google search for travel finds 9.6 Billion results.
Not much use is it?

In Traveljunkies we think we’ve overcome the problem of not being found and it’s quite simple, but for it to work for you, it’s when you write an advert.

In your advert use relevant words that describe what you offer. Use your Tagline and create a unique keyword or code.

It works in Traveljunkies because every word is a keyword in Premium Adverts.
So when someone searches for a word, or even a part of a word that’s in your advert, you will be found even when they aren’t looking for you.
And it works the other way. You’ll be surprised at what interesting things you’ll find.

This unique search method is what makes Traveljunkies different and helps people find you because it stands out. It used to be called your USP.

But a word of warning.
Don’t stuff your advert with irrelevant words and lots of tags. People will recognise what you’re doing and you’ll be seen as a spammer.

Free Advert

Start with a free advert (also called a listing) to see how it works and decide if it’s for you.  It only takes 5 minutes and your free listing will be displayed 24/7 in Traveljunkies.com without you having to do anything more.

This isn’t a one-month free trial at the end of which you get charged.
It’s completely free for as long as you want.
Only when you’re completely happy and you want to grow should you think about buying a Premium Advert.

So pop over to www.traveljunkies.com and get your free advert now.

2024 Outlook For Small Businesses

Posted on by

The latest economic predictions for 2024 and their impact on small businesses

Thanks to www.ukbusinessforums.co.uk/

After a difficult  2023 and an election coming this year, small business owners across the country are preparing for another challenging year.

There’s no doubt that small businesses are still recovering from the impacts of Covid-19, Brexit and political trouble in the Middle East, but recent improvements in consumer confidence indicate that it’s not all doom and gloom, and many entrepreneurs are utilising the latest business indicators which show increasing growth and prosperity.

So, as uncertainty sets in and labour market and consumer spending challenges continue, what impact will the changing economy have on small enterprises in 2024? And how can you adapt to them?

New Year

Posted on by

It’s that time of the year – again.

Have you noticed how the big companies are fighting for your money? Of course you have.

Before Christmas they were bombarding us with ads for perfume, jewellery, toys and booze and now they’ve switched to selling beds, sofas and all kinds of furniture we neither want nor need.
But it won’t be long before travel companies free up their huge advertising budgets and go hunting for our vacation dollars.

So where does that leave the small businesses who can’t compete with the big companies?

Now’s the time to up your game and the first rule is don’t fight the big boys because you you can’t afford to. Let them fight each other to attract the hoards of families dreaming about their package holidays. Actually there’s little to choose between them other than price.

As you’ve probably worked out your marketing strategy you have a pretty good idea where to spend your modest advertising budget.
You may be using the growing list of aggregators like Booking.com, Expedia, Tripadvisor etc to provide you with customers.
There are benefits of doing this of course, but there are also some downsides, but that’s for another time.

At this time of the year you’re competing with millions of small businesses around the world all chasing their 2024 customers, so you need to stand out to get found.

You’ve already done the hard work.

You’ve created your website and your blog and like most of your competitors you’ve been working to grow your social media presence.

So what more can you do?

There’s a great saying that top marketers have been using for years.
Top of mind mind means tip of tongue.
And one of the most effective ways of getting attention is by getting referrals from friends, your customers and other businesses.

This is what we do at Traveljunkies.

Big companies rely on getting as many punters as possible crowded into aeroplanes and bulging hotels and resorts. But our visitors know they will find something different. We don’t advertise big companies, we only promote small businesses like yours.

And unlike most casual searchers in Google who only scan the first few pages, the prospects we refer to our clients are already looking to buy.

Not got a free advert?

If you aren’t already listed, hop over to www.traveljunkies.com and get listed.
It’s simple to do, takes just 5 minutes and is completely free for as long as you want.

So as we say goodbye to the old year and look forward to the new one we’d like to wish all our clients, and all our new ones, a healthy and prosperous 2024.

Happy New Year

Cliff and the Traveljunkies team.
