Getting your accommodation high on the major search engines is extremely difficult. Paying to have your site listed or advertised through 3rd party sites can be very expensive with little or no benefit for you.
Luckily, this does not always have to be the case.

I have a Dordogne Portfolio of more than 40 high ranking Dordogne related sites, these sites are all linked together to create a very strong presence on the web and high on the search engines.

Here is a REAL time example of the rankings of my sites, using the most used search terms on the mayor search engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing. I believe that if you are not listed on the FIRST 3 pages of the search engines, you are not well represented.

Lets see how many pages listed on the first 3 pages of these search engines are mine.

First search ” B&B Dordogne ”

RESULTS:

Google : 6 sites are mine, of which 4 are on the first page
Yahoo : 18 sites are mine, of which 6 are on Page 1
Bing : 10 sites are mine, of which 4 on Page 1

Second Search : Accommodation Dordogne

RESULTS

Google :  6 sites are mine 3 on Page 1
Yahoo :  7 sites are mine 4 on Page 1
Bing :  11 sites are mine 6 on Page 1

You will find that my sites will appear high on the rankings on most Dordogne related search terms.

Make use of my Dordogne network, and advertise your accommodation on my sites.

The Vezere has so much to offer, yet very few people who visit the area, actually get to see the REAL Dordogne. Everyone just visits the main attractions that are accessible by cars and coaches. To see the the REAL Dordogne you will need to get of the roads, and onto the tracks & trails, leave the car behind and get onto other means of transport, by foot, canoe, horse or mountain bike.

Hiking & Exploring
.

.
The Vezere Valley in the “Perigord Noir” is with it’s more than 250 UNESCO sites of interest, the undisputed “Prehistoric Capital of the World”. Prehistoric dwellings, caves, rock shelters and lots more, most of which are only accessible on foot.
However, Dordogne has much more to offer than just relics from the Prehistoric era, castles, bastides, medieval towns & villages, all of these,and lots more, all in the stunning and amazing scenery the Dordogne is famous for, hills, cliffs, windy rivers, great weather, friendly locals, and lots more make the Dordogne one of the most interesting and exciting places in the world.

Walking Dordogne takes you to all the well kept secrets that are only accessible on foot, horse or canoe. To see the “Real Dordogne” you will have to get off the roads, and on the tracks. Let us take you back, to the places our ancestors called “home” more than 460000 years ago.
We will take you on unforgettable trips to places that are remote, and seen only by a few lucky people, places of interest that are not mentioned on any maps or in any guide books. We will take you back in time to caves, shelters, dwellings and troglodytes hidden away by time and forgotten about.

Canoeing & Canoe / Hike
.

Both the Dordogne and Vezere are named after the rivers that cut through the area. A lot has changed over the years, 1000′s of years to be precise.
Ever since “Man” came and settled in the Vezere Valley, the sheer limestone cliffs have been ideal spots to use as shelters, safe from the dangers that our ancestors faced, wild animals, severe weather, and other tribes.
Some of Dordogne’s best kept secrets are still to be found along the rivers, and only accessible by canoe or canoe / hike.

Our canoe trips leave at the crack of dawn, chances are you will spot deer, wild boar, otters, buzzards, kingfishers,fox and plenty of other wildlife.
We will pass Chateaus, ancient farmhouses, troglodytes and caves, and this is all on the way to our exploring grounds

Horse Riding

.
Ditch the car and get onto some real “Horse Power” 1000′s of years ago, there was a very high abundance of wild horses in this region, this can be seen in so many cave paintings found in the region. “Man” has always had a good friendship with horses, and that is still the case today.
We take you to some of the “Jewels” of the Dordogne and Vezere Valley, the only difference, is the way we take you to actually get there.
For hundreds, if not thousands of years, our ancestors would travel to far away places to trade goods, for hundreds of years, and many generations would follow the same tracks and trails to get to these often remote places. Along the way they would rest at places that have now become villages, hamlets and even towns. These tracks and trails quickly disappeared with the invention of the train and later the automobile.. lost and forgotten forever..
Well almost, we take you on a trip of a lifetime following these long forgotten trails.. Get on a horse and let us retrace the routes our ancestors took hundreds of years ago.

Mountain Biking / Off Road Cycling

.
We have spent more than 2 years putting together what is without any doubt the best mountain biking trails in the Dordogne. Our trails will but a smile on every mountain biker. Our trails offer everything you could wish for, fast and fun single tracks, some nail biting switchbacks, some brutal downhills and lets not forget about the fantastic scenery, our trails are mostly loops, and can be combined with most of our other trails to make them longer or shorter. so, if you want to spend an hour cranking, or an 8 hour slaughter, Walking Dordogne is the place to be.

Our notorious trails to date are :

•The Devils Play Ground
•Satan’s Fury
•Devils Backbone
•Valley of Revenge
•Hells Gorge •Dordogne Mayhem * New for 2010 *
