Which Package Should I Choose?
Search Engines work on relevancy - the
larger a package, the better chance it will appear high in the search engines
(Yahoo, Google, etc), and the more hits it will get. Clients work on visual
impact and descriptive content - larger packages have more photographs and a
better description. When it comes to promoting your property "bigger is
definitely better".
