No we do not provide vacation rentals and we do not get that much requests on those, but we get a lot of leads and pretty good traffic for real estate. Beach homes and beach real estate drive <1% of whole search traffic each, so I wouldn't count on those too much.

Is MB still as crowded as it was a few years ago? Man, I absolutely HATED Bike Fest and Bike Week. They were hell on my hotel.

Yes it is crazy, we just got rid of the Harley Bikers a few days ago, and now we have black bikers week for the Memorial Holiday - state troopers from NC already on their way. I like the HD bikers - they get killed less and you can attend a whole bunch of different harley market places, sales and exhibitions - nice bikes, cool riders

The Harley folks were a better crowd than the Atlantic Beach crowd. But they could still never understand why I would not let them park their motorcycles in their hotel room or in my hotel lobby.

Glad to see your KW's are working well for your products. My mistake on assuming that phrase drove more rental traffic.

offtop.: I used to see new posts in bold from the User CP under List Subscriptions - here they are in regular font.. and I can't really figure which threads have new messages and which don't, unless I notice the last poster's name is different.

I just took a quick look at phrases using 'San Diego' since I do not have research materials for that area. My benchmarks are the phrase 'San Diego real estate' which shows 8.7 million competing pages.

Using Google as a reference, I like 'San Diego MLS'. There are 200-400 searches per day for that term, and only 809,000 competing sites. 'San Diego realtor' is also a decent phrase, with over 200 searches per day and only 1.1 million competing sites.

Other keywords that show decent volume and potential were 'San Diego escort' and 'San Diego strippers'

HHI...Golf Guy...taking your advice on SD MLS Thank you! However, there are about 1,160,000 people competing for that phrase...Ouch!
