@Melody - Ive tried to connect to people via Twitter too but I dont really get a lot of traffic at all. Ill simply keep trying :P

Thanks for the responses

Yes it is paying off - maps visits are logged as map.referrals in Google Analytics. Get about 5 - 15 visits daily from Google Maps. Booking Conversions about 33% to 50% of daily visits sometimes. I really need authoritative back links (did some 2 way links - but need more). Or go the Adwords route - as too much competition (hotels, booking agents, trip adviser reviews) - sponsored ads - and business maps plastered on the serps. Make about 10 - 20 NZ dollars a week. Would be more if listed on 1st page.

Other methods: Blog directories, article writing, keyword optimization (mainly long tails is where I get visits). Will join travel/immigration forums to display signature links.

Have not gone full social route yet (only Yahoo Answers and Mylot - "light" social activity). Contemplating Twitter, Facebook, but may get side tracked or bogged down too much - So no hurry. I have had visits/tweets (if that's what it is) from twitter (according to stats in GA) - but I have never been to The Twitter site.

One strategy I can personally recommend is to use EzineArticles and write a lot of articles for them. It can get you quite a nice number of traffic.

You got some good ideas man. I hope it works out. So far you seem to make some decent money
I am personally trying to build up a Twitter following but now I am only around 90 people. It does grow though so I hope next month I will have at least 200. Also Twitter is about meeting new people and engaging them so only promoting your web site doesnt work.
