tour guide Puerto Vallarta Vacation Tips Interview
Name of your website?

Puerto Vallarta Vacation Tips

Your name?

Claudio

Your Location (city, etc)

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

When did you start your website and why?

I began 4 months ago to build up this site becuase most sides are fully commercial and dont provide independent information. I thought it would be an improvement to give the traveler some interesting tips without selling him something.

What has been the most difficult part of creating and running your website?

As i am not a native english language speaking person, it is very hard to work out several themes. But slowely the one and the other helps me on this, so together we will make it.

What are your views on Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

This is the ugly part. To get a page running well in the listings You have to beat a lot of competitors. Most of them are business people who want to earn good bucks with their sites. So a independent free site needs to invest money which never comes back.

What are your views on Search Engines? Have they helped or hindered your website?

I believe there will be a revolution on search engines within the next years. The ranking algorythms do not promote knowledge or quality. Better are directories.

What would you like to see change with respect to the internet?

More real information and less hype.

What is your website address?
