You omitted the most important stat. How many of those 30-45 monthly requests result in actual bookings?

And, you may wish to revisit your comments regarding rankings and SEO hype. I randomly used 8 of your search terms and only 3 times did it hit the top 3. Just sayin.....

Ahhhh...no

odd... I just did a search on Google for "Belize Fly Fishing" and the above mentioned site was no where to be seen "at the top"... El Pescador, TFlats, etc were all there.

Looking at the site, I'd argue that one does not have to "be able to cast into a coffee cup from 80 feet" in order to enjoy fly fishing here in Belize.

Good luck w/ the sale though... and, uh... welcome to the forum.

the site was NEVER targeted towards the keyword "Belize Fly Fishing" because if you performed proper Keyword research you'd find that the volume of searches for "Belize Fly Fishing" is significantly LOWER than "Belize Fishing" or "Fishing Belize"

In fact - i just did the numbers search again on GOOGLE ONLY - Roughly "1,000" searches for that keyword phrase is performed on GOOGLE PER MONTH - Out of that 1,000 - 880 are based within the USA (so, you have a POTENTIAL targeted viewership of 880 from the USA visiting the website - looking for a "Belize Fly Fishing" vacation option)

Now, for the keyword "Fishing in Belize" there are 5,400 monthly searches (again on Google ONLY - not Bing, Yahoo, or Ask.com) - Out of that 4,400 are searches performed within the USA - So, now you have a potential viewership of 4,400 people based in the USA looking for a "Belize Fishing" vacation option...

It's all about proper Keyword research and market targeting - This would also explain why over half the inquiries are form individuals whom spin fish yet wish to enjoy the experience of a Belize fishing vacation.

So the website being optimized to target the LARGEST possible percentage of targeted searches based on the most popular keywords gives the website it's 700 to 1,000 UNIQUE visitors per month ALL of whom are researching a fishing vacation in Belize.. The keywords chosen provide a potential viewership of over 9,700 visitors per month - This is why it's not a wise decision to target a site around such a low volume of searches... It's all about the volume -

A free lesson in online marketing and proper Keyword phrase research and "ideal consumer" targeting.

ohh - I also neglected to mention - I have ALL the Web Trends & Google Analytics stats to show that the site has remained a top listed site for over three years -

So the proof of traffic and stats are all documented and available for anyone interested in increasing their guest numbers to their condo or resort...

You certainly don't require a high-dollar degree to break down the simple math of "700 to 1,000" targeted visitors researching and looking for vacation opportunities in Belize, you convert even 1% of that per month into a guest and you're looking at 7 to 10 new guests... And based on the decline in travel trends to Belize over the past five years as well as other Central American destinations... It certainly wouldn't hurt to have an extra 7 to 10 visitors per month.

You may be barking up the wrong tree here pard but in as much as you, or JD Harper, likes to broker domains I suppose thats your bag.

I'd simply comment that real people dont do "proper Keyword research" they simply "search"...and I'll be honest I must a be a keyword research cretin because I would have thought "Belize Fly Fishing" would have been right up my alley as far as the way I'd plug in a google.

But I have to say that regardless of proper keyword research and all, BiteMeBelize.com as a domain simply sounds like an insult waiting to offend someone.

EDIT: Well now I must really be a keyword research cretin because contrary to a certain claim to SFJeff



I plugged that little ole bitemebelize.com into the web and I got back keyword info on the website that exactly contains the phrase "belize fly fishing"



Maybe someone is owed an apology.

Maybe it appeals to anglers, but it doesn't appeal to me!

And when I googled "fish Belize" bitemebelize.com comes up at the bottom of the page, and "fly fish Belize" doesn't make the first page.

But good luck in finding somebody to buy it.

I pass.

Keep your money in your pocket.

Geez Lan, glad you said "maybe". Now those of us that fish at least still have a way out!

Apologies, my bad, I'm a newbie at this internet thing and evidently I don't know how to properly "search."

I mean, say if I wanted to find out about "Belize permit fishing" ...silly me would probably type something idiotic like "Belize permit fishing" and then only come up with results like Blue Horizon Lodge, Turneffe Flats, Ambergriscaye.com, El Pescador, permit angling.com & Destinations Belize (in that order)

...and heck, then where would I be?

OK, I'm climbing in. First, that website has some of the most accurate flyfishing info on AC you can find. Yeah, it might over estimate the size of bones, but every other site does too. Not blaming Marty, but the fish info is better than this site.

Second, no comment on the value.

Third, how you doing Abby?

lots of videos on tieing flies on this bite me site, but the textual information on fishing in Belize i find to be extremely minimal. We have much much more information on AmbergrisCaye.com. no comparison. don't know how you can say that krehfish. PM me why you feel that way if you would. or write it here.

we cover each type of fish in much more detail, and have sort of weekly fishing reports from El Pescador. we miss a few weeks :>

most of the fishing information on this website came from El Pescador.

http://AmbergrisCaye.com/fishing/
http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/fishbonefish.html
http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/fishpermit.html
http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/fishtarpon.html
http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/fishsnook.html
http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/fishdeep.html
http://www.ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/fishother.html

using google, type in "fishing belize" or "belize fishing" and the first result is AmbergrisCaye.com on both. biteme is second on both, so they have done well with their SEO (nerdspeak for "search engine optimization")

Is user: GoFishbz the same as http://www.gofishbelize.com ...would seem a bit odd.

"PROPER KEYWORD RESEARCH" is the method of researching the"MOST SEARCHED FOR" terms and keyword phrases of the online "searchers" i.e. "potential consumers or clients are actively searching for on the various search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo etc...

Google provides a tool that allows you to place in search terms and see how many searches per month that term is being searched for by the internet browsing population...

An effective Internet marketing professional and Search Engine Optimization specialist then researches the MOST SEARCHED FOR terms relating to a specific targeted niche...

Here is the address for the Google tool to review what terms are searched for the most:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Again, this is only the tool to search for the terms and search volume on GOOGLE - to find out how many searches are performed for a given term to discover how many potential consumers / clients you could have visiting your site form a search volume collectively through Google, Bing, Yahoo, and ASK.com you may wish to use a search volume tool such as http://keywordspy.com <-- This tool will show you the most productive or most "searched for terms" from all of the major search engines combined.

So, once you have typed in the "search term" you said you would have searched for "Belize Fly Fishing" you'll find that only an estimated 1,000 people per month on ALL OF GOOGLE search for that term - yet there are over 5,400 on average PER MONTH of people searching for the term "Fishing in Belize" - Thus, "Fishing in Belize" will bring you more targeted visitors to your website that are actively seeking a fishing vacation option in Belize...

And as far as the statement that "My Bag" was selling well developed and highly optimized websites - NOT TRUE - I own a online training school that instructs business owners and individuals on how to properly optimize and grow their online presence - it's called Aperio Training... And we have a search volume of over 77,000 active customers searching for our training keywords - So we conduct live online training classes with 20 students per class - 4 classes per month -

I'm selling the site because I once lived in AC and I still own this website and now that I have no interest in sending people to Belize to go fishing for a small booking fee as my online training company is expanding and requiring too much of my time and is far more profitable... I'm listing the site for sale -

Because like it or not - the site still gets a very high number of a very targeted demographic actively seeking a fishing vacation solution in Belize looking at the site each month -

And if I owned a resort in Belize and was suffering form such low number of over-all tourism coming to Belize - I'd want to try and convince those 30 to 40 people that fill out the contact form looking for a Belize fishing vacation to come stay at my resort...

And to briefly touch on the you being a "Internet Marketing Cretin" - Well, I'd say after the very short lesson (if you can comprehend it) - presented above - You should be in dire need of sunglasses because the light must be hurting your eyes after being under that ROCK for so long...

So you can bag on the site all you want - you can't dispute the documented Google ANALYTICS that show THREE YEARS of consistent traffic volume from ONLY PEOPLE ACTIVELY SEEKING A BELIZE FISHING VACATION...

Anyone with a clue about Internet Marketing and building and growing an EFFECTIVE website and web presence for a targeted demographic will realize that have 30 to 40 potential guest contacting them each month is a HIGHLY VALUABLE LEAD -


So - to anyone with any sense whom can see the value in having 30 to 40 additional qualified leads contacting you each month to possibly stay at your resort - I'll be happy to speak with you - to the rest of those whom wish to remain in last century - continue to market with expensive print ads and paying large monthly sums in PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising...

Or simply go back to your rum soaked existence as I have no further time for such discussions..

"The site was being used to book a small local resort and charge a "booking fee" - However, the resort has decided not to provide discount pricing to allow for a booking fee so the site is up for sale to Resort & Condo owners ONLY..."

...curious as to why anyone would try to depict a (awesome in it's own right) yoga-based resort as a "fishing lodge": http://bitemebelize.com/our-resort/?album=3

I don;t own a resort to book guest into - Hence I'm selling it to someone whom owns a resort - they simply change out the resort images - and pricing and contact information - put in their details and they can work with the leads that contact since they actually OWN A RESORT TO SEND THEM TO... I know longer live in AC.

And as far as the "SEO HYPE" - I listed EACH of the MOST POPULAR and most searched for by highest volume keywords that the site ranked at the top for - There is a reason the site get 700 to 1000 visitors per month - because it was targeted towards the search terms that have THE MOST PEOPLE on the internet typing them in...

If I had targeted the site for the keywords being suggested by you all - the site would only have a POTENTIAL viewership of TOPS 3000 to 4000 searchers per month - which you can count yourself LUCKY to get 10% of that traffic viewing your website - I went with MUCH HIGHER SEARCHED FOR TERMS - And I get 10% of the monthly market searches viewing the site...

It's amazing - If you owned a resort you'd rather bag on a website then talk to and negotiate with 30 to 40 potential new guest per month... LOL hahahahah this is great... Absolutely AWESOME...

Hi Marty,

Thanks for at least understanding teh value in how optimized and marketed this site is - I spoke with you regarding this site a few months back. However, I had a buyer - he paid $12,500 down and then only made ONE payment before defaulted - I've finally gotten ownership of the domain back in my name (good thing I left the site on my servers)....

I'm not moving back to Belize anytime soon and don't wish to pursue this any longer as my main online business is much more profitable and absorbing much more of my time...

I'm merely trying to offer this valuable portal to a resort owner as it brings in lots of qualified leads..

the site is a Data driven website so the resort images, pricing, and any other content can be altered to represent another resort and provide 30 to 40 potential leads to the owners of that resort.. I can eve show the new owner how to easily login to the administration area of the site and make any change they wish to images, names, content etc..

But as usual - I was bombarded by people without a clue of what it is they're discussing wanting to immediately throw their negativity around...

I do appreciate pointing out that the SEO is TOP KNOTCH - And we know why your site is #1 - you have the massive content volume that a small "niche targeted" site such as this site could never compete with...

But thanks anyways for at least defending that the marketing SEO is properly done and I'm sure you could easily state form your Anayltics that the search terms chossen have a much higher "per month" search volume - which leads to more potential visitors searching for your targeted niche...

I thought I was offering a fairly simple and easy to understand business tool that could greatly enhance or assist a AC resort owner in generating more guests...

But was immediately hit with the negativity brigade..

thanks again Marty for showing some sanity in this insanity that erupted the moment I listed something that could be such a helpful tool for someone.

Cordially,

Jim

Ps. - Anyone else with a even elementary understanding of Internet Marketing and a bit of business acumen wish to speak with me regarding how we turn these 30 to 40 leads per month into guests at your resort - I'm more than willing to have rational and productive conversation - simply contact me with your number and I'll ring you.

We can easily tailor and adjust the images and content on this site to represent your own resort...

And remember - you DO NOT HAVE TO BE A FISHING LODGE TO BOOK FISHING GUEST IN YOUR RESORT - The fishermen just want to be near the water and be able to go fishing each day - they don't have to - or want to all stay at the typical "lodge"

they just want the opportunity to fish each day - clean bed - simple food and a couple of Belikin's and they're a happy easy bunch to host at your resort... Very peaceful people with a general easy nature and happy-go-lucky attitude..

Hi Jim its hardly some "insanity brigade" that induces skepticism and/or negativism, its the PRICE. it's really a very high price. it staggers folks. it staggered me. when you got ahold of me on this subject a few weeks ago, i just laughed and said to myself "a ridiculously high price, good luck with that"

$50,000 Belize dollars? websites are supposed to be CHEAPER than brick and mortar....

especially for only "30 requests for information per month". not confirmed bookings? that's like bragging on how many bites you got on your line and not how many fish were caught!

that was the first question offered up to him and he has adeptly, but not unnoticed, avoided it.

And if I owned a resort I'd be able to turn at least 8 to 10 of them into guests - And you make what??? $750 to $1250 PER WEEK per guest - I'd say 25K is a bargain since BRICK AND MORTAR biz are 100's of thousand..

If you booked in even 5 new guest per month making $1000 per guest the site pays for it self in a few months - NOT YEARS...

And as far as how many people "BOOKED" - AGAIN, I DO NOT OWN A RESORT TO SEND PEOPLE TO... If I did I could easily convert 10% to 20% into booking clients...

And $25,000 isn't HIGH for a website that could easily produce you five to ten thousand per month - vs traditional marketing methods...

Marty, no offense intended. I just found his info concise and generally accurate.
I appreciate that you have the reports from El Pescador. They're fun to read, esp. when it's Jan/Feb up here.
You do have more info on your fishing section than 10 or so years ago, when I first read it. Over the years I was hoping it would be updated. Also realized what an undertaking that would be. The updates on licenses is good. The "protected 3" info is attractive to a group. Again, sorry if I offended.

If it generates all this $$$ and traffic...why did the last guy default on his payment?

Just asking?

But you must know how many referral fees you received.........avoidance again

not offended at all krehfish, just curious. thanks for the response. much appreciated....
