The Internet, the whole world at your finger tips, no borders, no bounderies.

But having a web site means nothing at all, it’s all about marketing your web site, how to get potential customers onto YOUR web site.

de Paulus has more than 30 dedicated Dordogne web sites high on the main search engines Google, Yahoo, Live, ASK etc.. de Paulus explains that all his sites are monitored and tracked, each site uses various and different Meta Tags / Key words / Descriptions, by doing this, he can see what the people actually type into the search engines to find what they are looking for, and then adding them to the other sites.

There is NO WAY anyone can quarentee you a place in the top pages of the search engines without paying for “placed ads” which is based on a payment per click, if I click on your ad, you pay for it, this can be VERY expensive, and very few clicks are genuine.

The only way to get high on the search engines, is to work hard, have a “clean” web site, and the most important, is to have other “clean” web sites” link back to yours.. The more times your site and link is mentioned on other sites, this makes the search “bots” think that your site is populer, and bumps it higher on the rankings..

www.depaulus.com has over 30 sites that do this ALL strongly SEO’d (Search Engine Optimized) for the Dordogne and some for the Aquitaine.
