Priority Listing Program

Maximize Your Exposure

Increase your visibility to potential customers and reduce the cost per visit to your site with a Priority Listing!

Priority Listings are well suited to sites pertaining to resorts, travel, lodging, and gear.

How it works

Listings at the top of the page receive substantially more traffic than those further down. Our studies show that a top of page listing receives on average at least 10 times more visits than a listing at the bottom of the first page. In addition only 15% of visitors visit the second page of listings.

With a Priority Listing

  • Your listing appears at or near the top of the page (listed in order of booking by advertisers - first come first served).
  • Guaranteed placement positions! No need to worry about being 'outbidded'.
  • Your listing may appear on multiple category pages within SkiCentral (where applicable).
  • Your listing is expanded and enhanced to get your message across and attract your target audience (190 characters max - approximately 25 words).
  • Your listing title appears in a large typeface and in bold.
  • Your listing appears at or near the top of the page on the search results page for applicable keywords

With over 9,000 sites listed on SkiCentral and increasing, a Priority Listing is guaranteed to help you stand out from the crowd.
Here's an example:

Example (search results listing)...

Killbear Inn
Lodging close to Vail, Colorado.

  • No additional keywords
  • Minimal matching on search results, buried in the results listing
  • Appears only on the Accommodations - Colorado page as the 116 listing
  • Ongoing listing not quaranteed

    Example (new Priority Listing)...

    Killbear Mountain Inn
    Award winning, luxury 2 and 3 bedroom accommodations in the heart of Vail, steps away from the lifts at Lionshead. Features fireplace, complimentary breakfast and heated outdoor pool. Internet specials!

  • Additional Hidden Keywords (for top placement on search results): colorado, vail, ski vacations, vacation rentals, lodging, accommodations, lionshead, condos, lodges, ski in/ski out, on slopes

  • Would appear on the Colorado - Accommodations page as the 1st listing (first come first served)

  • Would appear on the All About Vail page as the 1st listing under Accommodations (first come first served)

  • Excellent matching on search results, top of the results listing ahead of over 70 sites related to Vail, over 2,400 other accommodations and over 750 sites listed for Colorado

    Pricing is calculated from historical traffic on the specific pages your listing will appear on. Our aim is to deliver you well qualified traffic STARTING at $.27 US/click ($.32 Cdn)! Note pricing will vary. For example placements on Colorado, and British Columbia pages are generally higher than Maine or New Jersey. Please consult a sales rep for exact pricing.
