I need help. Despite the steadily increasing traffic, the regular fan mail, the positive words from Facebook and TripAdvisor forums, and the resort support, Maldives Complete still does not rank highly in search engine result pages (SERPs). The site has a very credible Page Ranking of ‘3’...

Music. It’s been a while since I’ve added a new category to the ‘ Best of the Maldives’ features. But yesterday’s Tibetan Singing Bowls inspired me to add ‘Music’. We have several now mostly falling under the ‘Entertainment’ category. But, for those...

Happy 4 th Anniversary Maldives Complete! To celebrate the occasion, I’ve created a Tagxedo (see above) based on the 696 A4 pages of blog post material over that quadrennium. Also, I’ve done a bit of a more quantitative tally of Maldives Complete compiled Harper Index style… Database...

“What’s your budget?” That is the very first question I or the TripAdvisor Maldives Forum will ask of anyone looking for advice on which of the 120+ resorts to book. And be careful about saying ‘money is no object’ because in the Maldives, the top rooms top out at over ...

With all the talk of what I’ve seen and haven’t , one might be musing over the glaring absence of a number of topics that seem to pervade so many other Maldives web sites… Classic Maldives – I’ll leave the carbon-copy effluvia about how glowing the sunets are, how blue the water is, peaceful...

How to get more ‘Complete’ when you are 98% complete? The Maldives Complete set of Profiles are currently 97.4% complete among active resorts. A ‘complete Profile’ is having all of the information and photos in the standard profile. Even when inactive resorts are included, the completion percentage...

Landaa’s Manta isn’t the only artistic artificial aquatic feature found on land. Sheraton Full Moon’s waterfall is the biggest in the Maldives. A towering drop with a little foot bridge over the subsequent stream that then trickles down a few other levels further. There is a shaded bench you can...

Pin it! I was inspired by the terry cloth creature above to take the plunge into the latest social media – Pinterest . Pinterest allows you to set up albums to share collections of photos. I’ve already featured room art a number of times including ‘ Bed Decoration’ and ‘ Bed Art’ , but this particular...

Facebook, Twitter, Forums, Foursquare…all of this look a social media and I have not yet looked at one of the big ones, YouTube . As it happens, the best eye to Maldivian spectacle has expanded his lens from photography to videography recently. Sakis Papadolpolous now has a collection of video...

How about an entirely new form of social media designed just for the Maldives? Introducing ‘ Snorkel Spotter’ . Snorkel Spotter is something I have dreamt of for a long time. It was inspired by my experience at Maldives resorts where snorkelling is so popular and the most common...

The web is getting more and more social. My Maldives Complete blog was one of the first dedicated Blogs to Maldives Resorts and now there are a fair number. I’ve already looked at resort website Forums and the grandmaster of all Maldives Forums on TripAdvisor . Now the giants on the block now are Facebook...

Due to a problem with server configuration at our MaldivesComplete’s hoster, the usual URLs for Maldives Complete are producing error messages to visitors (like the one above), except for the Blog which is all working fine. For the interim, I have posted up a copy of the site at Maldives...

The ‘Best’ keeps getting better. And I’ve had to revamp the ‘Best Of’ page a bit more to accommodate all of the accumulating resort highlights. For starters, I have split the page into two tabbed pages since there are simply so many ‘Best Ofs’ to list. I have broken the groups in...

Reef-frames are the only things with better labels as I have this week updated the ‘Tags’ used on Maldives Complete. Of course, you can always use Google or the Search facility on the blog to search for text like ‘snorkelling’ or ‘surfing’. But, text search will indiscriminately...

Happy 3 rd Anniversary to Maldives Complete! Three years ago today I pushed the button which loaded the Maldives Complete code and material live to the web. That entire first week, after emailing all my friends, the site got a mere 186 visits and 1,147 page views. Just yesterday alone, Maldives Complete...
