How to do research on internet for good Miami tours and activities

After a light research on why people focus so much on the keyword “Miami tours” on an effort to optimize our website, we found out there are a whole lot other keywords with heavier search volume than just “Miami tours”, these keywords are going to remain private as this research don’t really belong to me (the writer) instead it belongs to Half Price Tour Tickets.

When tourists arrive to Miami, they have so many questions and in need of orientation, so one of their first stop is always an internet café shop, where they always will find people re-selling Miami tours and all kind of trips around Florida, but of course never compared to all the information you can find online when you search for tours and activities in Miami, but half of the information you will find can be irrelevant to exactly what you are trying to reach.
We got some recommendations on how to look up for things on the internet.

  1. Use Google

  2. If you don’t like Google, use Yahoo, Bing or Ask.com
  3. Add the city you are staying before your query like Miami Beach, South Beach, Miami Downtown, Coral Gables, Fort Lauderdale, etc.
  4. Remember when you search singular or plural results come out totally different, for example if you look for Miami tours, results will be very different from Miami tour, just because of the “s” in the end.
  5. Remember to read the description of the website before you click on it on the search results. Example if you search for Miami Tours (from Miami Beach) and you find orlandoattractions.com as one of the results but the descriptions says “Trip from Orlando to Miami for tours” then this website might not be very helpful for you and you can just avoid going inside that website and spending time there.
  6. If you are planning to book any Miami tours online, then we highly recommend you to go to read some reviews on that website just before you buy. Best places to read reviews are Google, Yahoo, Alexa.com.
  7. After you make your reservation with any Miami tours operator company, give it 30 minutes and then call to confirm they got your order confirmed and that you really got your seats reserved.
  8. If you just booked ahead of time let’s say you are going to the Miami City tours and Miami boat sightseeing tours half a year from now, you can also wait one or two days before the actual tours and call again.
  9. Miami Beach (south beach) is famous for people trying to get a “cut” (commission) on everything they offer and they promote, so just make sure you are buying from main provider and not from a reseller with poor services and higher prices.
We hope you find this helpful for your trip.

Miami tours, sightseeing activities and segway rental

Search engine battle between Google and Yahoo

After our first month of promotions and SEO enhancements to a particular website with particular keywords, we have come to a great settlement on why google.com is number 1 worldwide and we are going to explain that in the next paragraphs.

With our Miami Tour Operator business in Miami Beach, we find a huge competence for internet marketing and promotions because in Miami, local competence believe as well in the affectivities of marketing and promoting, they are not scared on dropping a high budget into internet or printed publications, so that makes it harder to compete if you have hundreds of people trying to get there first.

Half Price Tour Tickets has been taking over Miami Beach with over 7 stores open already and more to come within the next months, every time more and more people choose us just because we are everywhere physically. My job as internet marketer is to do the same effect but on the internet.

By today May 4th, 2011, the website accomplishes 2 months of strong campaigns which we started seeing visitors and leads thanks to Google; actually 90% of all movements on our website is thanks to Google itself. When you compare Google.com, yahoo.com, bing.com, ask.com and others, you see that in the same way they are ranked like 1st, 2nd and 3rd biggest search engines, the same way they react to your campaign, Google is like 10 years ahead of yahoo, Bing is not as different than yahoo but its slower, ask.com totally out of the map and a lot others search engines that you always have to keep In consideration.

For our Miami Tours Operators website, our goal is to get customers to book online, with special deals on the Miami city tour or Miami boat tour, we also offer combination so we give them more variety on the possible selections.

Another great tool you can use is the Google places business directory where they let you describe your business and also add a link to your website if you have one. In Half Price Tour Tickets it works awesome just because we got more stores and all connected through http://www.halfpricetourtickets.com/.
So when it gets the time to invest some money on online advertisement, which do you think you should choose to get your campaign handled? By right now, there is only two answers, 1.) Google.com 2.) If you just want to through money away, just publish everywhere else.

Adwords is the main keyword for paid campaigns on Google, we used it to promote our Miami city and boat tour, also the Everglades airboat ride with wildlife show. For us it wasn't the best way to promote just because we are concentrating on organic traffic rather than paid traffic. Anyway its always good to try everything once!

I can say we tried about everything already and I can assure you guys, there is no other internet promotion tool, like being #1 page for google search on a high traffic keyword, we would recommend anybody spending a budget on websites and also being patient because this takes time and a lot of work.
I am so sorry for Yahoo, but you cannot be #1 if you are not really giving services as if you were, in first place.

What is the difference between booking a tour in Miami with the hotel concierge or directly with the Miami tours operator company?

What is the difference between booking a tour in Miami with the hotel concierge or directly with the Miami tours operator company?

Tours in Miami are getting very competent, it grows every day, and new business like groceries, hotels, rent cars, even cigars stores offers the tours all over Miami.

80% of all the tours sells occurs at a third party store like the ones mentioned above, so you would be asking yourself, why so many people interested in booking tours for tourist when it's actually a head ache to manage a whole reservation system and accounting just for this? The answer to this question is called "commissions", that is right, hotels, concierges, groceries, Walgreens and everybody else collects an overhead "deposit" or "reservation fee" of normally anywhere from 30% to 50% over the actual cost of the tour which they use as a commission just for booking the customer with the tour operator company.

As an example, the popular Miami city and boat tour combination sells for $39 straight up. If you try booking through a third party provider (which can be very convenient sometimes) you might end up paying up to $78.00.

Very convenient service for people that are tight on schedule and instead of researching for tour operator companies in Miami, they can just book their activities straight up with the closest place to them, these resellers can be found very friendly and helpful as tourist information's source, as they are on the streets all day long, now they know about local buses rout, best restaurants, best parties and more.

One more convenience on booking at concierges and resellers is that they also work with tons of other companies, giving them the possibility of having a huge range of services that maybe one company only wont have. Giving tourists and visitors a wide range of choices like the gocar-tour and others.

One of the popular resellers on the beach are MiamiBeach411, MiamiDiscountTours and Miamitoursonline.
So question comes to us all day long, should you book or not through a 3rd party company or directly with the operators? The answer is very simple, if you don't mind on spending an extra dollar, just use book it through concierge, if you mind about paying extra, you can go online http://www.halfpricetourtickets.com/ or visit us at 1657 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, Fl 33139 for Half price tour tickets.

Fillmore is one of favorites for Miami tourists

One of the must visit places for tourists and locals in the South Beach (Miami Beach) is the Fillmore Miami Beach At The Jackie Gleason Theater located at 1700 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, FL.

The whole story started in 1950 when the big bam of Miami Beach Municipal Auditorium, people would normally comes from anywhere in world to see those singing and dancing shows, so we can tell it was not a everybody taste, but it started to become too famous until they turned in what we see now a days, a more popular (for all audiences) shows. The theater was close for about a decade until the 2007 when the theater was re-born with an multimillion dollars investment by Live Nation which mission is to optimize the live concerts experience worldwide for artists, fans and sponsors.

As we are located one block away (Half Price Tour Tickets, Miami tours operator) we can see how much people come in and out with good reviews and recommendations of the theater, so today we decided to spread the voice and talk about it too, maybe as an advice on things to do for locals and tourists coming to Miami or Florida.

Once they talk good about the Fillmore, then they always start asking about the Miami Tours, Everglades airboats, Key West trips and others, and that's when it become very beneficial to us that the Fillmore is so close to us.

The 1990s saw the birth of the theater as both a great theatrical and performance center (Rent, Phantom of the Opera and Riverdance), as well as a concert hall - drawing such shows as Marc Anthony, El Puma and the Gypsy Kings, Tony Bennett, Liza Minelli, Seal, and Lenny Kravitz.

By Laura Binder
The Everglades National Park is the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. While you may only associate the area with swampland and alligators, there are actually a number of interesting facts about this robust national park.

Protecting more than 1.5 million acres of land, the Everglades National Park is the third largest national park in the lower 48 states. Only Death Valley National Park and Yellowstone National Park cover a larger area.
One of the most endangered species on Earth, the Florida Panther, lives primarily in the Everglades and the Big Cyprus Swamp. In total, 36 federally protected animals live in Everglades National Park.
Everglades National Park is home to the largest continuous sawgrass prairie in North America. Much of its wildlife, such as deer and muskrats, depend on the unique habitat for survival.

Seasonal hurricanes are commonplace in South Florida. While many only consider the destructive aspects of the storms, hurricanes are actually essential in maintaining long-term health of the Everglades. Mass quantities of rainwater help flush decay out of the system.

While many people think of the Everglades as a massive swamp, it's actually a river that flows southwest at a rate of one quarter mile per day.

Tornadosand hard rain expected at Miami Beach, Florida

Tornadosand hard rain expected at Miami Beach, Florida  
Very important to know to anyone traveling or already in Miami Beach, is that there are severe weather expected for the evening or earlier.

Please be advised on going out to party or on tours, this remind me of an article we saw a while ago and it went like this:

Miami's subtropical climate ensures plentiful sunshine year-round.
Locals talk about two seasons in Miami: the rainy season and the look what a beautiful blue sky we have every day season.

The rainy season runs from summer to early fall. Whether you are on foot or driving a car, be sure to take an umbrella. Locals take the rain as a natural event but visitors often resent it as a light rain can turn within minutes into a spectacular storm . The best thing to do is to be patient and wait at a café or stop the car. It can be very hot during the day, although the proximity to the sea ensures cool ocean breezes. The night is refreshing.

Locals celebrate winter because it is neither too cold nor too hot, and they can enjoy life outdoors. It is always a good idea to wear a hat and protective sunscreen when planning to be outdoors. Also, have a light sweater handy as buildings are all air conditioned and you might feel the chill.
Don't forget that May - June is the beginning of the hurricane season which officially ends in November, but based on last year's experience, it can last until December. Take the necessary precautions and stay abreast of the weather by tuning to local television and radio broadcasts.
Article ended here.
