Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) August 27, 2008 -- Viator, Inc., the leading provider of travel destination products and experiences, has recently renewed its relationship with Range Online Media for a third consecutive year. The renewal continues Range's successful SEO program (http://www.RangeOnlineMedia.com) for Viator, focusing on Web 2.0/user-generated content and local search strategies (http://www.RangeOnlineMedia.com).

"Since 2006, Range Online Media has provided us with top-quality service and stellar results," said Scott McNeely, Viator's Online Director. "In the past five months, Range has delivered all-time highs in both natural search traffic and natural search revenue. We are very happy with our online performance and are pleased to renew our contract with Range."

Range continues to partner with Viator in the site development process, which has delivered traffic numbers and engine-visibility at record levels. "Range and Viator are aiming for 60% growth in natural search and revenue over the coming year. We are off to a great start; in the first three months of the renewed contract, we've exceeded that goal by a substantial margin," said Kerry Dean, Range Online Media's account manager for Viator. "Traffic numbers for June alone increased more than 100% year-over-year from 2007, and a lot of that success is due to Viator's allowing us to participate in the planning of their site enhancements."

Range is looking forward to providing Viator new-media guidance for their overall online strategy. "Viator fulfills a unique niche in the travel space, and we are proud to have helped them take their brand to a top position in the industry," said Misty Locke, President and Co-Founder of Range Online Media.
