Crossville, TN – May 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / If you or your company were ever mentioned in the Resort Trades news journal, your history has been preserved online! Tim Wilson, publisher of Resort Trades since 1987, says the Resort Trades team has restored and improved their corporate web site, ResortTrades.com, to effectively protect and archive everything that was ever posted to the site.

Dear Reader: We Found Your History! Affectionately, ResortTrades.comEvery month for the last 26 years, Resort Trades – the timeshare industry’s tabloid-sized B2B news journal – has printed and mailed industry-related news and vendor information to every resort in the United States. ResortTrades.com was introduced in 1997 and became the first online business-to-business media site in timeshare.

ResortTrades.com’s archives are the most complete repository of the industry’s history in existence and include biographies of industry pioneers, the famous “Women in the Industry” series, supplier/vendor information and much more. All of this data became compromised earlier this year, however, and stood at risk of being lost forever.

“We asked our IT department to pull it down and rebuild the entire site on a more stable platform using 21st century technology,” says Publisher Tim Wilson. “As so often happens, what was projected to be a two-week project turned out to take a month-and-a-half! But we felt the short-term inconvenience would be worth it in the long run in order to preserve all of the historical data and provide a robust search engine capability. We managed to save 11,771 pages, or 86.75 gigs, of data and to ensure the preservation of our industry’s data for years to come."

“Now that we have submitted the revised site to them, Google is indexing it at a rate of 580 pages a day, on average,” says Managing Editor Sharon Scott. “We have also submitted the web site for indexing to Bing and Yahoo. This represents significant exposure for our advertisers and we are looking forward to demonstrating that fact to them this summer.”
