Hi All

After 12months of hard work whilst retaining a full-time I have launched
my own travel site just to egypt inspired by my honeymoon, have a look: www.goingegypt.com

1. Can someone value its potential? how much money will I be able to make?

2. can someone tell me if I should use natural or PPC search to market it?

3. the Hotel search box on the homepage shall also put this on the top
of all hotel pages?

Regards
rammy

Nice site, but you do seem to show an error with your bookmark script!

I have checked the link, in IE, firefox & Mac and everything seems to be fine.

The only thing I'd suggest is to cloak the affiliate links from your site. I know that before I got into affiliate marketing (and to a certain extent now) I'd be less likely to click on links that show up with an affiliate network's web address in the status bar than those that looked like they were going direct to the merchant's (or in this case hotel's) site.

Othet than that, looks good.

Thank you all for your great comments.

I would still be interested to know how much revenue the site is likely to make in month.

There are over 750,000 UK visitors going to Egypt in peak travel months. Suppose they all spend £500 your talking some decent values!

I like the site, it has a great look and feel. Centering the content so that you have white space either side instead of an expanse of it to the right might look better though.

You may want to check for typos and grammatical errors. I have found a couple of mistakes on the page under the flights tab, first paragraph under the links box.

'...popular. the resorts...' - Capital letter and take the s off resorts.

But well done on a great site. Good luck with it

Folks

Its it better to market the site with natural or PPC?
I have started doing the natural seo stuff, but is it worth doing PPC?

Why not do both. Work at getting the free traffic while you start a small ppc campaign. Play around with the campaign until you're getting the results you want. Start small if you're unsure about it, you can always expand the campaign later.
