Updates to Site Map and to the Site Itself

In the last several days, I added several new search terms for the Site Map. In addition, I made some internal coding changes to improve the aesthetics of the Site Map. These important changes are beneficial to anyone searching for the company they need.

There will be several new sections added to the site in the next several months. The new sections will be Helicopter Rescue Training, Helicopter Ditch/Escape Training, Pilot Supplies and EMS Operators.

Updating Our Trade Show Air Show Web Page

Helicopter Links currently lists over 25 helicopter specific trade shows, air shows and conferences around the world. We'd like to have our Trade Show web page as complete as possible.

From January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 we are showing that we had over 7,400 visitors to our Trade Show web page. In addition, we had over 2,100 people click-through on the various links on our Trade Show web page to find more information. People use Helicopter Links to find information.

As far as we know, Helicopter Links is the only web site where helicopter trade shows, air shows and conferences are listed on one web page, by continent, making it easy for anyone to view these world wide with one click and a scroll of the mouse.

In addition, our Trade Show/Air Show page is the only web page where we offer multiple free listings. If you are part of an organization which produces helicopter trade shows, helicopter air shows or helicopter conferences, please send us an email and we'll list all your helicopter events on our Trade Show/Air Show page at no charge.

Would you like your organization to be part of our growing web site? staff@helicopterlinks.com

HelicopterLinks.com Update

I'm pleased to announce that the entire site has been updated for continuity, spell checks and coding for Search Engine Optimization. The continuity standards help make all categories on Helicopter Links to have the same look and feel.

Optimum Search Engine Optimization is something all web designers strive to achieve. For those who don't know, Search Engine Optimization is actually a continual process. Our recent updates will help improve the search engine optimization of the entire site.

The other important update on our site is that the coding has been updated on every page. This will allow the translation of text to be seen as intended.

We've also updated Helicopter Link's Site Map to make it easier to find information. Updating our Site Map will be one of our ongoing goals of having an up-to-date and relevant site map.

Have been busy.

It's been busy here at Helicopter Links. Missed posting on this blog for November. However, October was fun being in Beijing, China, on vacation. Now December is here.

I was able to update the site while in China, that was good. Facebook was still blocked in China, as well as Wikipedia and YouTube. However, Yahoo email was working and I was able to email my Facebook posts to a friend in San Diego and he helped me update the Helicopter Links Facebook Fan page from San Diego.

I recently sent a press release to the helicopter industry concerning our web statistics but after it came out, I realized the press release did not have enough information. So, early next week (if all goes as planned), I'll be sending out a more detailed press release with more information about our incoming and outgoing web statistics.

I've been continuing to update the site in November and will be updating things over the weekend. I will also be adding a page concerning our incoming and outgoing web statistics. We are glad about this because we are seeing that we send a lot of traffic to the entire helicopter industry.

We use Google Analytics for our web statistics. This is considered the Gold Standard of web statistics. We also use another web tracking company to track the outbound traffic from our site. So, we have detailed information concerning how many people are clicking on any company listed on our site.

We welcome all companies to call +1 (858) 413-7074 (San Diego, California, USA: PST) or email us staff@helicopterlinks.com for quote. Helicopter Links will help your company achieve it's marketing and sales goals.

Just revised the site to render correctly using Internet Explorer

Spent almost the entire day revising the site to render correctly in Internet Explorer. However, browsers are so finicky, who can guarantee their sites will render as they are intended to? Updating our site should have happened awhile back but better late than never. Don't you agree?

I shouldn't be too hard on myself, when I'm reviewing sites—before I list them on HelicopterLinks—I am seeing many sites which have not been updated for years. Many times, I'm seeing sites with copyrights on their home page from 2005 and earlier. Go figure.

Working on updating the site.

Just a note, all helicopter companies, companies who supply the helicopter industry and helicopter organizations receive one free listing on HelicopterLinks.com.

We expanded our site this year and are continuing to update our pages and appreciate your patience while this is accomplished. Here are several of our recently updated pages:

Helicopter Insurance
Helicopter Pilot Flight Training Schools
Helicopter Mechanic Schools
Helicopter Simulators which includes software and consultants

IE and Firefox.

Browsers. Ugh. Too bad they work differently. The people who are mostly stressed about how browsers render websites are the webmasters. Internet Explorer (IE) has caused problems for my helicopter site. I typically use Firefox and design for Firefox. However, I recently worked out the bugs that Internet Explorer was causing.

I'm pleased that the main page, the helicopter manufacturer page, now looks as intended in Internet Explorer. I apologize to all of you who use IE and have seen some text which should not have been centered and the sentences had bad vertical spacing.

I hope you enjoy the helicopter site and please let me know of any helicopter trade shows or air shows which I have not listed. Thanks.

Boeing Website Error Page

I was checking all the links in January on my helicopter site and was sad to find that Boeing's website link to their rotorcraft systems section is broken. On the home page of my helicopter site I feature helicopter manufacturers from around the world. It's surprising to me that a major helicopter manufacturer like Boeing would allow their rotorcraft systems link to be broken for such a long time.

I first discovered their link being broken in January of 2011. Who knows how long the link has been broken? I sent Boeing an email concerning this issue in January with no response back to me. Not sure why.
