WE'RE IN THE BUSINESS
Because we own a resort, we are listed on many websites to promote our
business.  Reviewing the Hit reports from the sites that show
statistics (many don't), we find that they show "hundreds of thousands" of
hits but when we got down to find the actual referrals to our RESORT , there
were very few.

We know that our Ontario website www.Cottage-Resort.com OUTPERFORMS these sites.   
See our Testimonials page for RESULTS as reported by the property owners.

Specialty Pages for subscribers have been added for Vacancies, Romantic getaways, Pets Welcome, ATV Adventures, Accessible Properties, Bike, Cycle, Hike, Bird Watch, Fall Specials, Fishing, Snowmobile Getaways, Winter Escapes, Retreats and Spas, Wedding, Conferences, Last Minute Deals, Muskie, Walleye, Panfish, Salmon, and Carp fishing pages, Cottages with Trailer Sites, Seniors Specials, Fly In Fishing
