Checking key words and looking at the competition

Spent some time yesterday morning checking out some key word searches for other operators who are offering short breaks or self-catering near St Andrews.

Did the search on Google, and picked out a few sites from their first 10 returned where I thought it might be useful to look more closely at the sites and examine their tactics, keywords, descriptions, etc.

To take a look at the keywords for each of these sites I have to use Mozilla Firefox as my browser, because it allows you to View - Page Source and look at the coding which has been used to create each page.
I've kept an Excel spreadsheet containing the keywords and descriptions for these sites, which I'll refer to later when I am ready to develop my own site.
