Medellin Travel Guide The Real Deal
Medellin Colombia English Portal
If you build it, they will come.
Or not.
Qualified leads don't just show up at your Medellin website -
unless you're listed with the Medellin Travel Guide Network.
It's not your fault. You've done what any good business is supposed to do. You've built a website and prepared for the cyber crowds. You've got Deprensa on call and champagne on ice. You're ready for the big time. There's only one thing missing: customers. Where are they?
Well, seeing as how websites number in the billions today, chances are the problem is simply that your customers can't find you. They don't know where to look and the mega sites and consolidators drown out the small sites very easily with paid SEO staff.
That's where the MTG Network comes in.
Make your company part of a fast-growing Medellin Colombia network of business web sites. Are you in business to run a web site or run your business? One thing is for sure. If you are not on the internet, you are not in business!
On its own, your website is a tiny little island in the giant ocean of the Internet. But with Medellin Travel Guide your site becomes part of a regional network of business websites organized by business category. With hundreds of listings and thousands of cross references, Medellin Travel Guide is big enough to get noticed - and get traffic. And when MTG gets traffic, you get traffic. See how it works?
Do you sell earrings in Envigado? We've got a place for you. Cars in Castro Pol? There's a spot for that too. And for all other businesses in between.
The MTG Network is Medellin Focused, comprehensive and, if we do say so ourselves, extremely well organized - it's like a yellow pages on steroids. We promote it extensively via media, direct mail, numerous blogs, travel forums and travel web sites. MTG delivers the top search engine positions and the high-volume, high-quality traffic you were expecting from the web all along - direct to your cyber-doorstep.
Example: You have a furnished apartment you would like to rent and even have a web site generating traffic but would like to get your occupancy rates up much higher than they are. You are busy with your regular job and either do not have the time or knowledge of how to get more traffic to your site. List your apartment on MTG. You will get traffic from the following: www.medellintravelguide.com/medellin_accommodations.html
www.medellintravelguide.com/medellin_apartments.html
www.medellintravelguide.com/medellin_traveldirectory.html
www.medellintravelguide.com/medellin_flowerfestival.html
and 180 other pages directly from our main website.
You will also get traffic from:
www.medellinaccommodations.com
www.medellinapartmentguide.com
www.medellinfurnishedapartments.com
www.medellincolombiaapartments.com
www.medellinrealestateguide.com
www.medellinproperty.net
www.medellinrealestate.info
In addition, each of our pages regarding hotels, hostels, transportation, dating, entertainment and many others all have links back to our apartments page and every page (all 180 of them) have links to accommodations. So, if a potential client signs onto Google and enters, Medellin Furnished Apartments they are likely to find one or more of our web sites in prominent positions on that page. (for fun, type that into Google. Medellin Furnished Apartments; We are currently in the #2 and #3 positions after the sponsored ads. Is your site on page 1?) Need more convincing? Type in Medllin Gyms, Medellin Dentists, Medellin Doctors, Medellin Events, Medellin Restaurants, Medellin Dining, Medellin Furnished Condos, Medellin Discos....I could go on forever!
Now, to make it even better, we have launched;

www.medellindentists.com
www.medellinhealthtourism.com ....and,
Several more ready for launch any day now;
We have about 100+ more pending and are launching an average of 1 per day.
All in all, we own over 165 Medellin centric URL’s so almost any subject someone enters into a search engine will land them somewhere on a Medellin Topic and we will be well positioned on that page, if not position 1 certainly within the top ten. When they land on our site and see your apartment, business, hostel, restaurant or whatever listed, they can click on it and immediately be taken to your site where you can land a booking or additional traffic for your business. Your occupancy rate goes up, your revenue and income increases and you have covered as many bases as possible to attract them to your page without having to launch additional web pages. Even if you don’t have a web site, you can list your e-mail contact information and voila, you now have a web site you do not have to maintain, pay for, monitor, manage, make changes to or promote. It is all done for you.
By utilizing a Portal strategy and having numerous other topic specific web sites that MTG actively promotes, the likelihood of a potential client visiting your site is increased exponentially.
If it sounds like we're bragging, don't worry, we are. We are good at what we do. And we can do it for you. Now where did you put that champagne?
Well, maybe before you pop that cork you might like to know what all this wonderful traffic costs you and what you get for your money?
Fair Enough; (an apartment example)
A simple link to your web site is 15,000COP per month;
One time cost to build a page on any of our web sites is 100,000COP plus;
$25,000 pesos per month (for an apartment/hostel or Real Estate rental or sale listing) paid 3 months in advance via PayPal (Master Card, Visa accepted); or, $50,000 pesos per month for a business or profession. You may set it up on auto re-bill or we can send you an invoice (we prefer auto re-bill). Multiple property discounts available for realtors or multi-property owners.
You get a listing of your property on the Apartments Listing page on our web site or a specific web site of your choosing;
You get a page of your very own on our web site identifying the amenities of your apartment unit; cost per day, week and month as appropriate;
Up to 9 photos that will be displayed in a banner rotator, slide show or lightshow format;
A direct link from yourpage@medellintravelguide.com to yourpage@wherever.com where they can see more and contact you directly about making a reservation or doing business with you.
You do not pay us a commission for each booking (although PFP programs can be arranged). You keep all the rent, all the profits and pay us one low monthly price for all the additional traffic we generate for you.
Humm, that sounds pretty simple eh? Now, can we open that bubbly!
Still not convinced? OK, say you own a local Medellin Disco. Your site appears on Medellin Entertainment, Medellin Nightlife, Medellin Discos, Medellin Clubs, Medellin Dating and other appropriate pages on the MTG portal. Your business appears on all these sites and is cross referenced/cross linked in numerous locations. You want to get people to your Disco on Saturday night? Be visible on 30-40 websites and pages instead of just one. You can even offer a special "printable" promotion on one of our sites that does not conflict with your mainstream clientele that visit your primary site. It is also a great way to measure the effectiveness of your advertising dollars.
Getting the picture now of how this network brings you more traffic and visitors?
Here is another example to consider. Say you own a furniture store and would love to have more of the ever increasing number of people moving to Medellin buy their furniture from you. How do you compete with all the other furniture stores in Medellin (and there are lots of them). Well, how about links from Medellin Lifestyles, Medellin ExPats, Medellin Services, Medellin Business, Medellin Directory, Medellin Quick Directory and a few other pages on our site. Think of it as having 150 web sites of your own.
Lastly, (and this is one of our favorites). You are a Doctor, Dentist or Lawyer How about links from Medellin Doctors, Medellin Dentists, Medellin Attorneys, Medellin Health Tourism, Medellin Hospitals, Medellin Business, Medellin Lifestyles, Medellin Living and links from websites like www.healthtourismmedellin.com www.medellinhealthtourism.com www.medellinphysicianreferral.com www.medellindentalreferralservices.com for you attorneys www.medellinbusiness.com www.medellinrealestate.info www.medellindating.com (if you are a family attorney or promote foreign bride visa services).
If you are not getting the picture from all of this, enjoy your bubbly or put it back into the fridge until you can really afford it because with one single web site in the internet ocean, you may never get there. Promote your business with bucketfuls of web sites and web pages all centrally focused on one item: Medellin Colombia!
But wait….(don’t you hate that on infomercials?) Really though, all of our advertising clients get a free sub-forum on the Medellin Travel Guide public forum. Tell people about yourself, tell them about your business or profession, what differentiates you from your competition, special promotional offers or seasonal sales, explain industry trends in your business or profession, talk about your property, encourage reviews and feedback from clients, customers or guests. Whatever you want to use it for is yours to do with as you please (except anything adult, immoral or illegal). It will be moderated!
Inquire today. Call us from the US at 561-207-7119 or in Medellin at (cell) 301-652-8343 or e-mail us at medellintravelguide@gmail.com We also invite you to join our forum.
Can we at least have a glass of water. All this typing has made us thirsty!
