Whistler News - Links to Old Articles About Whistler Canada

I've been working to rebuild Aloha Whistler Accommodations blog. Because we were delayed in getting some of their old posts live when we built the new version of the website we feel like we lost some "link juice" to the 111 Whistler news articles online. Linking to pages via a Google product like Blogger can sometimes help the search engine find new links at little easier.

You can view these Whistler News archives pages here...

• Whistler - News Archives One
• Whistler - News Archives Two
• Whistler - News Archives Three

If you are looking for Whistler news, Aloha's blog is a great place to start.

New Whistler Event Resources

There are a few new websites that provide Whistler Events information. The Resort hosts a number of high profile events yearly ranking from skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, food and arts and culture.

Aloha Whistler Accommodations has a new Whistler Events Calendar.

So does Whistler Select accommodation... visit their new Whistler Events Calendar here.

Visit and bookmark these events pages to stay up-to-date with Whistler events and activities.

By the way... the next "big" Whistler Events are the Whistler World Ski and Snowboard Festival and Whistler Cup.

TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival Whistler

The 2009 TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival Whistler is on April 17 to 26.



For 10 days and 10 nights the biggest annual celebration of winter sports, music, arts and culture lands in Whistler.

The Festival features sport competitions, FREE daily outdoor concerts, all-night after parties with internationally acclaimed DJs, fashion shows, photography and art exhibits, film screenings, theatre and of course the best skiing and riding in the world.

It's a great time on Whistler and Blackcomb mountains plus in Whistler Village.

New Custom Search Engines

I have built a few new custom search engines designed about various themes...

• Whistler Canada
• Whistler Accommodation and Lodging
• Whistler Hotels
• Sunshine Coast BC Canada
• Pemberton BC Canada
• Recreation
• Dentists

These custom search engines each search through a number of sites I have selected based upon the search engine's "theme".

What is LinkedIn?

I had a friend call me up to ask me what LinkedIn is.

For those who don't know its an online business networking tool and more. There are two videos that can explain what LinkedIn is better than I could write in a paragraph or two.

So to learn more about LinkedIn visit....

• What is Linked In? PART 1


• What is Linked In? PART 2

By the way, you can visit MY LinkedIn account

2009 Whistler Tennis Camps

The Whistler Racquet Club has posted their 2009 Adult Tennis Camp and Junior Tennis Camp dates and rates online.

Marjorie Blackwood and Peter Schelling run the tennis camps which are rated among the top in North America. Kirk Paterson directs the high energy popular Youth Tennis Sport Camps.

If you want to improve your tennis game I highly recommend the Whistler Racquet Club.

P.S. Check out their Whistler Tennis Squidoo page too with photos and blog posts.

Visual CV - An Interesting Concept

I just came across Visual CV... which bills itself as a "Better Resume Online".

It took about 10 minutes to set up my very basic online CV - Roy McClean's Visual CV. Unlike LinkedIn it appears that you need to join the site and log in to see any profile. With LinkedIn you can see a partial profile, at least, without having to log in.

I'll monitor if this works as a networking tool for Custom Fit Online, my Internet marketing and web design company.

Whistler Hotels - Residence Inn by Marriott

We just launched an updated version of Whistler's Residence Inn by Marriott website.

The hotel website follows the design of the previous site but is now built using Umbraco, our content management system of choice. The site has an integrated blog utilizing RSS technology.

We're also using social media, blog development and online content development to promote and improve search engine visibility for this site.

Results have been very positive with the website showing a significant increase in traffic and conversions since we started our work.

Check out the site at Whistler Hotels - a ski-in ski-out lodge.

Website Design / Internet Marketing Portfolio Online

A belated Happy New Year - 2009!
