The much-anticipated 2009 Tourism Marketing is beginning and it looks much brighter than initially feared.

CanadianFishingBook.com is building connections between it’s Membership of Northwestern Ontario Fishing Lodges, Resorts and Outfitters, and audiences of families and hobby anglers in the Midwest US States.

Increase Your Exposure

First - CanadianFishingbook.com provides comprehensive business listings on 5 fishing directory websites, individual photo galleries, links to Social Medial profiles, Google Map placements and offers introductory video marketing to get the word out about Northwestern Ontario Tourism and increase your exposure on the Internet.

Your Ideal Audience

Second - by providing detailed reports on Sport Show Events occurring in the Midwest US States of Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, CanadianFishingBook.com gains very specific website traffic from the ideal audience for your Northwestern Ontario Tourism business.

The greatest benefit is - Tourism Businesses who are Featured Members of CanadianFishingBook.com gain exposure before this audience of potential sport show attendees, even if the web searcher doesn’t actually go to the show, and even if our Featured Members are not actually exhibiting at the sport show!
Featured Members *STILL* gain exposure!

Let’s Cover All The Sport Shows.

I am very pleased to introduce Little Moose Lodge, one of the most recent listings on the CanadianFishingBook.com Network!

There have been a number of new listings over the past while, and to honour each of them, I’ll be posting a New Listing Announcement once each day to introduce the latest Fishing Lodge and Tourism Marketing Organizations to have become new members with the CanadianFishingBook.com Network of Websites.

Sound Start in 2007

I’m very fortunate to have a few leaders in the Tourism Industry trust the new ideas and support this project last year in it’s infancy.

And I’m very proud to have a 100% Renewal Rate with everyone who placed and ad with me last year!

Exciting Year Ahead

But I’m even more excited about the upcoming 2009 Tourism Marketing Season.

New Partnerships

This year we have new partnerships that will extend our marketing reach and bring even greater results for our second year.

Better Software

CanadianFishingBook.com is built on the VERY latest Business Directory Management Software. It’s both Search-Engine-Friendly and Web 2.0 Ready!

NO other Fishing Lodge Director and NO other Tourism Destination Marketing Organization offers you better, more cutting edge technologies to GET YOUR MARKETING MESSAGE OUT!!

Compare Memberships!

There is a long list of technical upgrades to the CanadianFishingBook.com Fishing Lodge Directory as we prepare for the 2009 marketing season!

The process of re-building the database is now almost complete. The process has been slow as I’ve been finding each Lodge’s exact location using Google Earth.

Individual Google Maps

The Individual Google Maps are now included for each Featured Listing!

However, many of the Master Investor Listings have started out with slight errors in their locator pins. At first, I mistakenly used radian measure for longditude and latitude, where degrees should have been used…

If your Google Map location is incorrect at the moment, don’t worry, it will be fixed presently.

Syndicated Publication

Tech speak: All of the RSS Feeds from CanadianFishingBook.com have been registered at several RSS Feed Aggregator services.  This means that each time a new listing is added or changed - multiple listings on several popular websites will automatically be updated with the same content as well.

Benefits: we make it easy to spread your marketing message to more audiences of anglers!

OK - back to work, more details to follow.

I’ll bet you’ve heard this saying before:

“If all else fails, read the directions.”

You really shouldn’t be driving a car with this attitude - and, well, - I should have known, it’s also the wrong attitude to have when approaching massive updates to websites!

This picture represents what I did to one of my web sites.

My Garage Door Is Open

I’ve put the ‘crashed website’ on the hoist and opened the garage door so you can follow along this weekend as I re-enter all my data, manually transferring from one database to another.
Why all the extra work?

The benefits of this massive website upgrade are far reaching, and the long-term marketing benefits certainly make an extra weekend of data entry well worth the time.

Adding RSS

• I’m very excited to add RSS Feeds from several points in our Canadian Fishing Lodge Directories.  CanadianFishingBook.com can multiply the spread of your content, while at the same time, creating dynamic links back to your listings.
• This provides more places where the search engine spiders can find your new content and also increases the relevancy of your main site, thus helping to boost your rankings in the search engines.

Ok - time to put more coffee on!
