Looking at booking via Camping in Brittany at the moment,,
Sometimes I see things that I just don’t understand, and this is one of them. Quite a few months ago I pitched to Eurocamp about doing SEO for them, I didn’t get the contract, yer can’t win them all but it did make me change the way I do pitches. Becky told me not to give away too much info away at the presentation stage like I always do. Funnily enough I did my normal and told them all the things I would do and when they told me they where creating an in-house affiliate program I thought winner and told them how to use 301 redirects to pass juice, I really went into great detail, lol
So when I was booking conference dates and family holidays last week because every year we normally take the kids to Centreparcs for a week and Spain for a week, but I thought about taking the family camping in Dordogne or somewhere like that. Having 2 boys a camping holiday in Dordogne sounded better than camping in the lake district in the rain… lol and they want to go camping!
So when I did this search guess how much I nearly pee’d my pants. it almost made me want to sign up to be an affiliate. I kinda want to bring up the subject of Google not wanting you to rewrite url’s because they know best 
, but I have a radioshow tonight and time is tight.

C’mon Dave, buy a new keyboard that has a working period key. That first “sentence” could have used at least 5 or 6 of them.

I guess that is what you get when you don’t do some URL cleaning on your affiliate links.
That affiliate must be very very happy tho.

So if I’m reading correctly, they ignored all of the priceless advice that you freely gave them?

A long time ago when I did a lot of affiliate marketing, I did very well by having the magic affiliate ID high up in the rankings (ahead of other affiliates or even the “home site”).

Not the only search term either

I have fond memories from Eurocamp trips 25-30 years ago, so don’t let this stop you taking the kids.

Wow, something/body certainly got your back up!
I just noticed this blog when searching for Eurocamp. how did you manage to get so high up so quickly on such a high profile keyword?
Can i give you a call tomorrow, I’m looking for a good SEO for a site that I am working on

I can not believe Eurocamp did not take you on for there SEO. O well I guess they will be gutted when you come up at number 2 or even better number one! Already number 9 for eurocamp

Camping offers the serenity of escape — and, if it’s combined with the exercise of a hiking trip, it benefits both body and mind. The simplicity of camping combined with the beauty of nature can help us readjust and unwind from our hectic lifestyles. as per the site it provides the better ways for camping holidays
