Dive Center Marketing on the internet must be in multiple languages, not necessary in a multi language website. Read why maknig more than one website is better.Obviously, having two websites instead of only one multilingual site lets you have different and country specific URLs,which is an advantage by itself, but then there are also all the other things a multilingual site doesn’t offer; no separate alt tags, no language specific picture names, titles, descriptions and many other details.
International Domain Names with the appropriate country code, e.g. .fr, .de are helpful to get better search result positions in the respective country. Building two websites for two languages has many other advantages for your business. Besides the fact that you can create valuable backlinks between these sites and that they get picked up much faster by country relative searches, they also can be hosted on different servers and Web Hosting Accounts. Plongee Koh Tao is a website we have developed for the PADI course director Patrick Tassin. [...]
Internet Marketing has become the most important marketing tool for dive centers on Koh Tao. It is widely believed that more than 50% of the Visitors, who arrive on KohTao, have already made their booking for accommodation or scuba diving courses online.

In case you have an old website still listed but in simple html, there is no reason to ababdon the site today. Even in todays syndicated Internetworld of Web 2.0+ we can still see many html websites in top position in all search engines. These sites have their advantages too. For one, they load faster than todays heavy loaded php scripted sites. Dynamically created websites have not only longer loading times, but mostly carry a bunch of modules, plugins and analytics scripts with them. An older html site can still get up in the ranks and achieve a good search engine position it it is optimized and maintained well. This case study of an html website shows that everything is possible.
Not so long ago, making websites in full Flash was hype. Nowadays we have come back to our senses and found out that waiting for a Flash website to open is going to take a half day with a bad Internet connection and still at least several minutes with a good one. Here at #1 Internet Marketing we left that train pass us by and we actually never jumped on it. While Flash can do fancy things, it’s loading time in general is still much too slow for an average Internet connection. Sometimes though we get confronted with the Question: Our site is in Flash, what now? Our motto is tonever repair anything that isn’t broken. If the Flash site has a good position, leave it there! Refresh your business image with a new website. An additional one. Websites are not so expensive anymore, Wordpress blogs can be easily maintained by anybody once it has been set up the right way. And a second web hosting account doesn’t have to cost much either to be very efficient. Ask #One of us!

1 Internet Marketing has been doing the complete advertising material from business cards over brochures to the new Website of East Puerto Rico Diving in Palmas del Mar. And this is by far not where it stops, actually it’s just a good start. Websites want to be advertised as much as possible all over the Internet. This is so called “Off-Site SEO” The purpose to advertise a website is to bring more visitors to the website to find the offer and also to create as many back links to the website. We can therefor use press releases or related forum links. A relatively new kind of website promotion is link triangulation where a website can receive stronger one way back links. Backlinks and fresh content have become all more important. [...]
