Our Own Olympic Medal

Today was the day we were going to learn to blog. When we decided that our company, Beijing Journey Tours at www.beijingjourney.com needed an Internet presence, we never dreamed that creating a website was only the beginning of a very long process for promoting our business. Beijing Journey Tours has been in business for many years, but now the time seemed right to join the modern age. All of our business comes from other countries, so the Internet, of course, seemed to be the best way to reach new clients.

We thought that writing the website would be the most difficult process for us because we had never written a website before. We didn't even know about search engine optimization. Links, page rank, social networking, blogs, directories were not part of our vocabulary. When we published the website to the Internet, we were surprised to find that we didn't show up. Amazing! Well, that meant put away the books that talk about creating a website, and find the books that teach you how to promote your website! One of the best ways to have people find your website is to blog........or say the books! Who are we to question the experts!

So why do we call today's very first blog, Our Own Olympic Medal? Well, as we checked our website, www.beijingjourney.com this morning, our teeth almost fell out! We are page ranked! And our page rank was a 2! Now for those of you that have no idea of what this means, (and we didn't just a few months ago) this IS an Olympic medal for a website! Page rank is what Google uses to show the importance of a website, and now we are considered important enough by Google to be ranked! Now isn't that important enough information to finally start writing that blog?

So here it goes! This is blog #1 of our career as website writers. We haven't learned as yet how to link our blog to our website, so rather than word links, we are using web addresses. However, we at Beijing Journey Tours believe life should be an adventure, and you should experience and learn new things.

And Beijing is an adventure that shouldn't be missed! Not just now when the Olympics are going to take place, but any time! Beijing is an amazing place! There is so much to see, so much to do, so much to experience!

So, who are we? We, at Beijing Journey Tours, are a local Beijing travel agency. We have been in business for over 20 years. We specialize in customized tours for corporations, groups, and independent travelers. We take great pride in our business, and we want our clients to leave Beijing wanting to return. We named our company Beijing Journey for a reason. We believe that travel is more than taking a trip. We believe your travel to Beijing should be an adventure, an experience; a journey of a life-time!
