I had previously introduced TravelOffer.co.za to the market with the aim of highlighting current travel specials offered by the trade. This wasn’t limited to a particular sector of the tourism industry, however the website failed to live up to expectations.
Reasons for killing TravelOffier.co.za…
- Uptake from the trade was very poor.
- The keyword “travel offer” wasn’t attracting organic traffic, a huge mistake on my part to secure a useless domain name.

What does CheapHotelRates.co.za brings to the table?
- The keyword “cheap hotel rates” is searched 260 times per month locally…not big organic traffic, but worth targeting.
- Has a cost per click of R13,80 meaning my Google Adense ads will receive about half that amount per click, with the other half going to Google.
- Focused to one sector of the travel industry, hotels, which are currently struggling with occupancy.
- Listing of current specials will be offered free of charge, limited for only 30 days.
This blog post is meant to be a teaser, CheapHotelRates.co.za is not yet officially launched it’s still being developed.
Would you advertise your current hotel specials on CheapHotelRates.co.za?
