Internet Marketing

The basic of a good internet marketing is a good, easy an logic sounding name for your hostel web-site... As a mather of a fact i'm selling a nice domain name for building up a hostel website for stayings in Spain.... www.hostel-spain.com . Let me know what you think about this name and if your interested.. the auction of this name will start 01/04/2010 on bido.com --> http://www.bido.com/Auction?name=hostel-spain.com

A generic domain name may help a little bit with SEO, but it won't do anything to build a brand. Just look at amazon.com and books.com or google.com and search.com which is the bigger business?

You're better off with a domain name that has the name of your business in it. If you're going for a generic domain, then one with the name of your town/city is better than one with the name of your country. I think the average person looking for a hostel in Cordoba will do a Google search "hostel Cordoba" and not "hostel spain".

No email address? Are they just getting a lot of walk-ins and booking engine bookings?

i can only assume so - though i do know of one place that says all reservations must be made by phone! a LOT of hostels here - even over 100 beds - dont even have 24hr reception. ive been genuinely shocked at a few things since ive started staying a few aussie hostels. its not that theyre bad, just.... complacent.

Send them over to HM -- maybe meeting other enthusiastic hostel people will help :)
