Adding a website link, making your listing a Top Pick and Advertising

Puerto Viejo Satellite is the most comprehensive information source for Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica and the surrounding Costa Rica Caribbean communities of Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Cocles, Punta Una, Manzanillo and more. We have the most comprehensive map of the area, the only local news source The Talamanca News, information on transport, on weather, on volunteering and community projects and a huge gallery of links to blogs, photos albums and videos about the area. And we have the only forum focusing on the area.  This makes it critical to reach the audience that is on Puerto Viejo Satellite.

By supporting the site by purchasing additional cost items, you are also enabling us to do more promotional activities which pull even more people into the site who then become customers of our businesses in the community.

The following additional cost items are available:

Put a link to your website right in your listing for just $75USD/year for accommodations, real estate or tour/activity listings or only $50USD/year for other listings. Users will click right through to your website and complete the sale right away! 

When you purchase a website link/photo upgrade, you also get the following benefits:

  • A picture with your listing on the map page and on the category page for your listing type  (accommodations, restaurants, real estate, tour companies, etc).
  • Listings are also featured more prominently on their listing category page: they appear before non-linked listings in the featured sort and their picture displays beside their listing. As well of course their website address is prominently displayed there.

The website link will appear in the information bubble when your listing is opened. A link to website icon will also appear right on the map page beside your listing. Your website link will also appear on the detail page for your listing.

You can select this option when you are adding a new listing or if you're already listed on the map you can upgrade your listing here

Feature your listing as a Puerto Viejo Top Pick and website link

Listings featured as a Puerto Viejo Top Pick come with plenty of advantages:

  • They appear on all pages on the site not just the map page. On non-map pages such as the transport or photos and blogs pages (or this page), they appear on the right side (in random order so your listing will sometimes appear at the top!). If your listing is clicked from a non-map page, the user is taken directly to your website.

  • They appear first on the map page on the left side before all other listings.

  • They appear again on the map page in their regular category with a making them standout and a link to website icon  which goes directly to your website.

  • Puerto Viejo Top Pick listings are displayed more prominently on any category pages they are listed on such as the lodging page: they are displayed first in the featured sort, they are placed on a prominent background and a larger font and their picture is displayed with their listing.

  • A photo is included with your listing on the map page and on the category page for your listing type  (accommodations, restaurants, real estate, tour companies, etc).

  • A photo gallery of  up to four additional photos are included with your listing on your listing details page (see the Banana Azul detail page for example).

  • The website  link/photo benefits above are included.

Feature your accommodations, real estate or tour/activity listing for only $249USD a year or other type of listing for just $219USD a year.
