Everything to do with using your own website to advertise your rental property. Design, usability, hosting, getting listed on the search engines, optimising your site, pay-per-click, etc, etc.
I have been actively trying to get links to my website via web directories etc etc Is there any tool out there that I can use that tells me who is actually linking to me?
Well, the link URL is very specific -- in my experience if the link is to blah.com/index.html and you search for link:blah.com, it won't show up. I know I'm linked by several sites and they don't all show up on a simple google link search because of that.
As I understand it, Google only shows sites that are linked to yours if they have a Page Rank of 4 or above - although this is not always the case. Nobody knows for sure (apart from Google, of course), it is just that every link will NOT be shown, but don't worry Google will know about them.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?
This asks for all mentions on the web of "www.spainrentalsite.com", minus any that appear on your site. You would expect most of these to be active links.
So the ones where I have painstakingly put into web directories etc, where are these does anybody know? I thought most of them had a PR ranking of 4 or more (I mean when I was putting them on thats what I was looking at)
