2) Langkawi Latest News

=========================================

#1 - Langkawi Declared A World Geopark by UNESCO

Everyone is talking about Langkawi as a Geopark. Everywhere in Langkawi, there are large signboards of Langkawi Geopark. There is even a hotel that quickly changed it's name to Geopark Hotel. So... what is Geopark anyway?

#2 - A New Clean Web site Design

We have changed (again!) Langkawi-Beaches.com look & feel to a more clean and attractive design. This time I adopted the white and light blue theme, and placed two (instead of one) navigation bars.

The result - a more organized website for your eyes.

#3 - Alexa Ranking Update

Langkawi-Beaches.com went live on 26 June 2005, and as at 10 June 2007, it was ranked at 1,019,00 - within the top 5% of all sites on the Web by Alexa.

Our Alexa ranking has been changing a lot (degrading) mostly because I didn't publish a new web page for more than a year! And, traffic has been stagnant (no increase, no decrease).

But, since Jan 2007, I started to commit back by introducing Langkawi Blog. Since then, our Alexa ranking has improved (a lot) and visitors are increasing steadily.

(If you're not familiar with Alexa: it's a widely used tool for checking the popularity of a site, based on traffic. The LOWER our number, the HIGHER is our traffic ranking vs. over 56 million ACTIVE sites on the net, which means the more traffic or visitors we are getting.)

#4 - Langkawi Events This Month

Two events in Langkawi this June.

a) Langkawi Firefighting Competition 2007
b) Playsmart Scientific Trail Competition 2007
