Re: Spain-Holiday again

Still trying to find an alternative to Spain Holiday as I don't like the look of their alternative! - has anyone else found a listing site which is something like Spain Holiday in the way it operates? Well done in getting to speak to them. I've sent emails (had no replies), tried the old phone numb...

Spain-Holiday Alternatives

Hi all - I've see a few threads where Spain-Holiday, and the dreaded take-over by Bookiply, is mentioned. I will not be transferring my listing over but am in search of alternatives where I am still in control and not at the mercy of the likes of AirBnb or VRBO. Has anyone got any recommendations th...

Booki who?

I'd never heard of Bookiply or Holidu until I got the notification of the buyout - oh no, wash your mouth out Catgirl, it's a merger! So I listened to the garbage on the seminar - it was just a bland sales pitch and poor Helena looked like a frightened rabbit in the headlights of an oncoming car. Si...

I'm firmly in the Dioni camp - and I like the pale blue and green together which I know someone else doesn't. My only comment would be is that they both look too like a blog and not like a holiday rental website. The page for each property is quite long too and you have to keep scrolling down . . an...

New Scam wanting Signature and NIE Number

A French girl called Sarah Barraud (email BSARAH699@aol.com ) is trying to book our apartment for 2 weeks in August. Came from Spain Holiday. All seemed very genuine to start with. Here is a synopsis of the ploy. Initially she wanted to pay cash on arrival - which we don't accept except for last min...

Never have a 'Useful Links' section, They may be helpful (for them), but at the expense of you losing SEO, and traffic due to their fleeting attention. Unless you want to embark on reciprocal link exchange stuff. THat would be one exception. Any advices on how to get round this? Many of the sites I...

- links back to the home page should go to the root domain, rather than any page called *.html - this directs all the 'link juice' properly at your main domain Help! I am now confused. What do you mean by 'link juice' and how do I direct back to the root domain without using the full http address i...

Thanks you GoDot and Cotterdale - this is a new landing page and seems to be getting the big thumbs down. I only put it live earlier this week in response to the fact that
http://www.rodagolf.co.uk/index-home.html was too busy.

I'll have another go!

Thanks for your comments Don Ciccio - lots of food for thought. Me & my camera are going for a walk this weekend!

PS did you get my PM? It seems to be in my Outbox rather than my Sentbox

Enquiries from Spain Holiday

I've been looking at lots of other post regarding bookings and enquiries and wondered if anyone else uses Spain-Holiday dot com and have as much trouble as I do? I've had 16 enquiries this year from them. Of these 4 were for dates already booked and I always keep my calendar up to date. Tried to swa...

There are two separate websites - no redirects.

www.rodagolf.co.uk - showcases 2 apartments

The other one in my signature - is just one apartment.

They are based on the same template so do look similar, but have got different titles and descriptions so that Google assesses them separately (I hope).

Regarding floor plan - if you can edit the html all you have to do is change the height and width in this bit of code IMG width="450" src="./mediac/450_0/media/fen-acre$20floor$20plan.jpg" height="281" border="0" alt="" align="left" If you ...

I like the website from an aesthetic point of view. Nice and clean with easy clear links. I would agree with others about the font size - a bit small for my aged eyes! Regarding the SEO stuff. I see you have now put a <title> in but every page is the same so this won't help your ranking. To get a be...
