Property is no longer considered an 'alternative investment' as it is a viable investment option that offers excellent returns on initial capital. The growth in buying property both in the U.K. and overseas for either investment purposes or as a second holiday home is at an all time high. Some of the fastest growing markets include South Africa and Dubai as well as many of the countries that became part of the EU in May last year. At the same time Spain, Portugal, France and other mature markets continue to attract international property investors.

Buying property overseas is a complicated and expensive business. INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY will provide purchasers and investors with detailed knowledge of all the issues that they need to consider when buying overseas property. The book will contain articles written by some of the world's leading experts in property purchasing and investment and will cover a broad range of information on subjects such as banking and finance, legal matters, where to buy and what to buy, taxation, surveys and valuations, travel, transportation, healthcare, education and schools, communications, interior design and motoring. Specially commissioned editorial will provide the reader with practical advice and valuable insight on everything that someone buying or investing in a property overseas would require.

READER REPLY CARD SERVICE

Each copy of INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY contains a reply card which readers can fill out to receive more information on advertisers. As part of our service, for a period of 12 months following publication we will:

SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING

Nowadays the Internet is arguably the most important tool for finding information quickly. It is therefore essential that your company achieves high search engine rankings because only the first few results returned by a search engine are ever actually visited. To enable your company to achieve the best possible rankings on GOOGLE – the world's number one search engine – we will work with you to create a 600 word profile, optimised for the search engines, which will appear on the official INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY website.

All search engine studies have shown that the single most important and reliable method to improve the ranking of your own website is to have links into your site from relevant, highly ranked sites, such as INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY. Search engine algorithms identify these links, assessing their importance and will reflect this in the subsequent ranking of your website.

To further ensure that you get the maximum amount of targeted traffic to your company's own website we will:-

• Identify the best combination of keywords for your business and create the relevant <title> and other meta tags based on our research.
• Edit the text of your Profile to ensure the correct balance of keywords for optimal search engine visibility.
• As a high-ranking site, GOOGLE regularly visits the INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY website, thus maintaining your highly-ranked presence on their search engine.

Aside from driving more targeted traffic to your website, achieving high search engine rankings provides an extremely powerful and cost-effective method of building brand awareness.

85% of all Internet searches are conducted through GOOGLE.
