Photo Tour Ferme de Tayac

December 10, 2007

For 2 years now, B&B Ferme de Tayac has been the choice of accommodation for people from all around the world.
Ferme de Tayac, a lovely 12th century former farmhouse / monastery in the hart of the Vezere Valley, just 5 minutes walk from Les Eyzies. For hundreds of years Ferme de Tayac was occupied by the munks, who also farmed the land around it.
In 2001 Suzanne & Mike purchased Ferme de Tayac after it had been unoccupied for over 10 years. It was in a sorry state, and was deemed dangerous and a hazzard.
It took Suzanne & Mike 7 years to bring Ferme de Tayac back to it’s former glory.
With among other things, meter thick walls, rooms built into solid rock, oak beam structures, and bedrooms in former monks quarters make Ferme de Tayac a speacial and very unique place to stay whilst visiting the Dordogne, and it is not hard to see why Ferme de Tayac has been the travellers choice of accommodation for 2 years.

November 14, 2007

www.nicestdordognerentals.comdepaulus.com  has yet again lauched a new web site, to help property owners advertise their holiday accommodation on the internet.
www.nicestdordognerentals.com is a site dedicated to web site reviews and accommodation reviews. This site is hugely SEO friendly, and having your web site / accommodation on this site would definitely help you climb the search engines. Check the new site at  www.nicestdordognerentals.com

There are about 4 million visitors from around the world that visit the Dordogne on a yearly basis. The tourist season in the Dordogne, has rissen from 4 months a year 5 years ago, to 7 months today.

de Paulus explains that people need  (a) website(s) today to reach these visitors from around the world. The latest figures published in May of 2007 show the following.

Key facts and figures from 1 March 2007

  •   Over 3.1 million tourists

The Internet, the whole world at your finger tips, no borders, no bounderies.

But having  a web site  means nothing at all, it’s all about marketing your web site, how to get potential customers onto YOUR web site.

de Paulus has more than 30 dedicated Dordogne web sites high on the main search engines Google, Yahoo, Live, ASK etc.. de Paulus explains that all his sites are monitored and tracked, each site uses various and different Meta Tags / Key words / Descriptions, by doing this, he can see what the people actually type into the search engines to find what they are looking for, and then adding them to the other sites.

There is NO WAY anyone can quarentee you a place in the top pages of the search engines without paying for “placed ads” which is based on a payment per click, if I click on your ad, you pay for it, this can be VERY expensive, and very few clicks are genuine.

The only way to get high on the search engines, is to work hard, have a “clean” web site, and the most important, is to have other “clean” web sites” link back to yours.. The more times your site and link is mentioned  on other sites, this makes the search “bots” think that your site is populer, and bumps it higher on the rankings..

www.depaulus.com has over 30 sites that do this ALL strongly SEO’d (Search Engine Optimized) for the Dordogne and some for the Aquitaine.
