No vacation home rental sites in the Top 10! Got to change that. (back to the new years resolutions….let’s make that happen)
On a more serious note, check out the traffic. Interesting downward or even trends on the various sites, except for facebook.com and wikipedia.com. Since all the traffic on wikipedia.comis probably people looking up ’stimulus package’, ‘depression’, ‘recession’, and other uplifting economic terms, I want to focus on facebook.com.
Note the substantial increase. I have also see a substantial increase in activity on my personal Facebook page. I have had a Facebookpage for well over a year and until this summer, there was never much activity. In the fall, suddenly there were lots of friend requests, updated status (some of these updates really need not be shared), and I found myself searching for old acquaintances. I admit, I even started updating my status.
Why should you care? I think we should care about anything that is growing and capturing people’s (potential guests) attention. Social media such as facebook can help us to reach our market and, maybe more importantly, to understand our market. What gets people’s attention? What are the talking about? What do they have strong opinions on?
….and if you want, you can come visit me (Ralf VonSosen – only one there) and make me your friend on Facebook.
