New Resort Websites

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

This is just a quick post to mention that I quickly built a couple of new resort websites today. The first one is for Hayward WI Resorts. We plan on eventually building this website/blog out to extend our reach to vacationers interested in the Hayward Lakes area of northern Wisconsin.

The second website is Lake Superior Resort. While there are not a ton of resorts on Lake Superior (less than in Hayward, anyway) – we have been sitting on the domain name for quite some time and thought we might as well get this website up and running for future use. It can take some times for the directories to find a site – so the longer it is online the better

Both of these sites are built on the wordpress platform – the same content management software we use to run the Pine Needle Lawn.

If you are interested in advertising on either of these sites – or you have something else in mind  – please feel free to contact us.

 Land Bin

So it has been just over one year since we launched LandBin.com – which is much like LakePlace.com, but instead of featuring lake real estate – the site features land for sale. We already had most of the architecture ready to go, so offering a site featuring land was kind of a no brainer. Again, only about a year after launch and LandBin.com is showing up very well in the search engine rankings for Minnesota land for sale & Wisconsin land for sale – but it is doing even better for what is known as the long tail. Just think of a little town somewhere in MN or WI – and search for that with “land for sale” afterwords and you may be surprised to see LandBin.com doing pretty well across the board.

Im going to make a prediction – I believe that LandBin.com will actually get more traffic than LakePlace.com within the next three years. You can still find some very inexpensive deals on land – which makes it a larger market because more people can afford to buy in…thus the prediction. We have some pretty good competition in the land arena – there is a company that has raised about $12 million – so it is going to be a lot of fun competing for the top spots for our important search terms and phrases.

See ‘ya at the top!
