The owner of a motel in New Zealand (www.almamotelwanganui.co.nz) asked here for some help, and I was absolutely impressed with the number and quality of the answers.
My case: about six months ago I created my own company, specialised in short but fun immersions in the Spanish language in Spain. And of course we asked a "web designer" to build the website. All was in Flash. Later on I wandered why we got no visitors, and the started to learn about the basics of practical web design and SEO. After reading almost a thousand pages of manuals, articles, bulletins and the like the conclusion was simple: the page looked good... only for the visitors. No metatags, Flash technology, all was a nightmare.
So I asked another expert to change the flash into HTML keeping its look. And again, no tags and other basic concepts missing. What is now done regarding SEO is my own work, started in may 2006. Before this, I knew nothing about this area of knowledge. I also published one article and one press release about Spanish and Spain.
To the point: following the Urchin statistics, about 95% of the visitors who arrive to the landing page (www.funtimeinspain.com) leave inmediately (they stay one second).
Any ideas to make the site a bit more inviting to visit?
Thanks,
Alberto
