Thailand Tourist Maps

Your name?

Claes Gustafsson

Your Location (city, etc)

Patong Beach

When did you start your website and why?

Started ca two years ago, when I I was living in Thailand and running a Beer Bar! I got the feeling that a bar was not good for me in the long run, so I turned back a little to what I was doing in Sweden some years ago! Maps! Soon realized there was a big demand for GOOD maps on internet!

Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc

I do all my maps myself with the help of a GPS and my motorbike! So I have actually driven on all the streets that are on the map! Timeconsuming, yes! But I get the perfect maps that I want's for myself! And people that see the maps agree that they are the best they seen of the areas! And that in short my business ide: to have the best maps, AND upgrade them when necessary!

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

As I'm not realy a salesperson, the most difficult part is to go out and sell the finished product! So I'm always seeking good salesmen that can help me with that! I want to concentrate on what I'm good at, doing maps!

What has been the easist part of operating your website?

Mybee not easiest, but funniest! To drive on my motorbike and actually mesaure the maps!

What was your biggest mistake?

Had the webbadress www.siammaps.com, but lost it because it was registred with an email adress I not use anymore! So now I have www.siammaps.net and have to start from beginning with weboptimizing and linking again!

Who maintains your website and why?

I maintains it myself because I want to have the control of my website!

Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?

My business IS the website! The sites are free for anyone to use, but the companys that are listed on the maps have to pay a small yearly fee to be there!

What are your views on ecommerce and the future of the internet?

More and more people use internet! And more and more people will use it to make business! Think everybody agree on that!

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

After I had to change my URL I contacted a company that help me with that! And they have done a very good work so far!

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

Defenitly helped!

What method has been most successful for promoting your website?

Personally contacting companys that I think benefit from beeing on my website!

Najma

Your Location (city, etc)

Dar-Es-Salaam

When did you start your website and why?

We started our website a few months ago after the big success of the website of our sister company. We are getting many requests through our website now and would like to increase this number by more promotion, better price deals en even better service.

Please give us a short summary of your website, business model, etc

We are a family business in Tanzania. Because we are a family business, we are very suited to answer specific questions our costumers have be it large tents for safaris, special water on safari, etc.

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

We found it is very difficult to get a good ranking in the search engines. Since we are well known in Dar-Es-Salaam - together with our sister company - but not well known abroad, a good ranking on searches with more general search terms is very important for us.

What has been the easist part of operating your website?

We found is very easy to put in the content and pictures. Content is very easy as we very well know what kind of business we operate. Pictures are also very easy because we have many happy clients that mail their holiday pictures once they get home.

What was your biggest mistake?

A few times it happened we couldn't offer all the service we wanted to offer, and that should not happen!

Who maintains your website and why?

Our website is maintained by a European friend of us. We asked him because he knows very well what he is doing and he could host te website on european servers which makes the website faster than when we would use domestic servers
