Visit Sagada: Two Weeks In
We haven’t exactly had a lot of press, but it’s great that in a few days of Visit Sagada in circulation, we’ve managed to get close to 90 unique hits per day. It may not sound a lot, but when you factor in that the site gets over 300 page views a day, that suggests that the people actually read the content - they didn’t end up on the site due to Entrecard, some cheap SEO tactic or what have you.
 When I thought about the concept for this website, I never planned to make it a blog - I wanted it to be a resource — a one-stop shop for people who are considering going to Sagada. We’re getting a steady amount of traffic from all over and we’re figuring in well with search engine results with virtually no SEO strategy. I’m sure backpackers are not necessarily the tech geek crowd so I really made sure that there will be no technophillic entities on the pages.
I’d rather risk a dearth of articles in the future rather than deny information we already know now to people who are busy browsing the net. If we could help one person plan better, I think that’s already having the site serve its purpose. Of course, this is only my personal opinion - and hopefully it will be the site’s collective policy in the near future.
So far so good.
Summer’s just around the corner!
See you in Sagada?

I have a lot of friends from Sagada. Haven’t been there but I’d love to visit when I have the time.
PS. I don’t think Entrecard is an SEO tactic. It’s simply an easy traffic strategy. Suppose to be, it’s a good system but abuse and misuse of chain droppers is starting to create a bad image for Entrecard.

I meant them to be taken as two different entities. I never implied that Entrecard = SEO.
Cheers.
