Our visitors to our website were down January - April, due to the redesign of the ARVC website, which did not include search engine optimization for the state pages. We lost referral links to our website.

Prior to the redesign of ARVC's www.GoCampingAmerica.com, website, their site placed #1 on Google and Yahoo, when the keywords search of 'new york campgrounds' was typed in by our campers. Starting in May, you can see that our visitors begin to pick-up due to search engine optimization being applied to the GoCampingAmerica website.

What Is the Benefit of Banner Ads?

  • Enhances the name recognition of your campground
  • Provides a link to additional information about your campground
  • Increases traffic to your website
  • Turns potential visitors into making reservations at your campground
