Nice website

Have you listed your company on the following:

- http://www.google.com/local/add/anal...gl=US&hl=en-US (free)

- FreeIndex - The free UK business directory (free)

- Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator (generate sitemap and upload to root folder of hosting)

- https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools (submit you sitemap)

- Create Twitter and Facebook pages

- Get Flyers printed to give to customers which gives them 10% off their next trip?


Not very good with the whole marketing thing but hope at least one of the things is helpful.

I would suggest you try and get links on hotel sites and travel sites.

If you are going to use google ads you might want to restrict the sites to those types of sites bid 5p a click to start. You can set your monthly budget to your needs so you won't go broke.

Have you thought about Google Adwords? Instant way of getting traffic to your site although it can be quite costly.

There are a few £30 free vouchers floating about at the moment so you could give it a try.

Where are these free adwords vouchers? I want one

I got emailed one yesterday, I used to use Adwords but hadn't topped up my credit for months so I presume they sent it to try and entice me back!

Have you got an Adwords account? They seem to send promotions/free codes every few months or so.

However, bare in mind that to use the free credit you need to have a minimum of £10 in your account that you pay for yourself! So in theory you get £40 worth of Adsense credit for only £10.

Yeah have an adwords account but does not get used. Everyone seems to be getting them but me

Microsoft are the ones for giving out free coupons, although I've not had much success with advertising I've had 4 or 5 coupons. I suggest if you signup to google and microsoft but do it when you transaction card is going out of date. When it does go out of date they will contact you to tell you and if your lucky they'll give you a coupon to intice you back.

The was also a few Facebook coupons but they might now be out of date.

But I think this myspace coupon might still work;

MySpace Advertising $75 free code | Online Auction Owners

Hai i would like to suggest you some of the ways to market your business and are

As your business deals with Car Hiring, i would suggest you to Try to get contacts with Hotels where there will be a huge mess of passengers...And Create a Web site that is a conversion machine, turning visitors into prospects or customers.
And try to have Deals with professional Organisations that include relations with Airports...

Thank You,
