Each day is harder to achieve a good positioning on the Internet for a business like a hostel. 2010 will be a very complex year, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies buy something until late 2009, will be reformulated and adapt our standards to the new order.
In Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires, working since 2005 in all these aspects related to our visibility on the web, especially if one considers that the level of advertising investment is very low or zero.Randi Fish, an expert on the subject, has given us some predictions for this year, will have to see what happens.
We will continue using metatags as we did? We will concentrate the focus of our attention on our SMO (Social Media Optimization) strategy?
We believe that from our blogs segment our target audience: by country, language, preferences. with the objective of more and more people can know the attractions of Hostel Colonial in Buenos Aires and Argentina.
These are the words of Randi
#1 – This Real-Time Search Thing is Outta Here
#2 – Twitter’s “Link Graph” is the Real Deal
#3 – Personalized Search is Here to Stay
#4 – It’s Going to Be a Two-Engine, 80/20 World
#5 – Site Explorer & Linkdomain will Disappear
#6 – SEO Spending Will Rise Dramatically
#7 – 2010 is the Year of Conversion Rate Optimization
#8 – More Queries will Send Less Traffic

Every day, about 10 or 15 pictures (sometimes are more) of Buenos Aires are published in my blog called Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires running on Tumblr. 4400 published photos of this magnificent city. Incredible night and day views. Neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, intimate places, bars, cafés, street art, moments of everyday life, images of yesterday and today, advertising, vintage things, all images are used to build part of the identity of Buenos Aires in a “Click Porteño“.
These images are mine, in my other blog of Buenos Aires, you can see works of many other amateur and professional photographers. For now it is only an invitation to look, the idea is that at least once in their life, come to Buenos Aires, in Hostel Colonial we are waiting for you.
All publications are posted on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook, you can follow us on these social networks. In the right column are the shortcut links.

Has completed the first half of 2009.
Influenza H1N1, “
Dengue”,
global economic crisis, a
Mrs. President focused on winning the
Nobel Prize and not on other trivialities.
Argentina,
South America. Despite all this, the balance is always positive. It´s a fact that the
global tourism is having serious problems, but I think (I’ve written here several times) that the
hostels have been the least affected.
I continue on with my aim to spread the business of
Hostel Colonial, but mainly based on the idea that the entire world know
Buenos Aires, my city.
How do I do?
-
# 900 posts published in this
Buenos Aires blog, since late 2005.
# 112 this year.
- More than # 1000 photos published in the 2 blogs (# 300 this year) + Twitter + Facebook + Orkut.
- # 110 posts published on our blog running on #WP, since late 2008.
- More than # 400 photos published in my Tumblelog in 2009. I invite you to know, is fantastic.
- More than # 100 posts published in my other blogs (Restaurants, Humor and MKT).
They may think I’m crazy, a lost geek, especially since this is only 10% of my daily work. This is how I’m feel, I do.
The prize?
1 – Filled beds.
2 – Blogger blog + Wordpress blog + Tumblelog = 79.188 unique visitors in the last 6 months. WOW!
It’s all for today, I go to work =)
From Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America – Hostel Colonial
Junio 25, 2009 | Por hostel-colonial | Claves: Bicentenario de la Nación Argentina, Buenos Aires Blog, Hostel Buenos Aires, Hostel Colonial, Tumblr | # Enlace permanente
Desde hace un tiempo y como hace unos días publiqué en
Twitter, todo nuestro esfuerzo y el foco de las acciones de
Hostel Colonial (desde hace al menos un trimestre) está dirigido al
turismo regional, y más aún por estos días, con la llegada inminente del
período vacacional de invierno (en estas latitudes).
Con esto no quiero decir que vayamos a descuidar (de hecho la mayoría de los posts de este blog son en inglés) o a prestar menor atención a otras plazas como Europa, Estados Unidos, Australia o México, que siempre han aportado un buen número de viajeros, pero habiendo literalmente desaparecido de Buenos Aires aquellos turistas que provenían de esos destinos (Crisis Económica Mundial + Dengue + Gripe por A-H1N1), decidimos focalizar nuestro esfuerzo hacia el interior de Argentina y a países como Brasil, Uruguay, Chile, Venezuela, Colombia y Ecuador, los grandes movilizadores del volumen turístico que hemos tenido en este primer semestre de 2009.
Parte de este esfuerzo fué la apertura del
blog en
Wordpress y la gran producción de
fotos de Buenos Aires, tanto para este
blog como para
Flickr y el
Tumblelog, aumentando en todo ámbito posible nuestra presencia virtual.
El resultado es muy positivo y como adelantara por el mes de Marzo, aquellos que han podido viajar y antes lo hacían alojándose en hoteles con estrellas, han elegido el hostel o mejor dicho los hostels, como una opción viable y de calidad razonable en función de optimizar costos.
No creo que esta tendencia cambie al menos hasta avanzado el 2010 (si se hacen las cosas bien, los festejos por el Bicentenario de la Nación Argentina aportarán un interesante número de turistas), salvo que pasadas las elecciones legislativas del próximo Domingo 28 de Junio, se efectivice el rumor (cada vez más fuerte) de una nueva devaluación del peso argentino y en muy corto plazo se revierta la tendencia actual, empujada sólo por el beneficio cambiario, algo que a esta altura, ya no tendría que suceder, más allá de la cuasi instantaneidad del beneficio, puesto que como siempre he dicho, nuestra apuesta es de largo plazo.
Ya lo saben, se vienen cantidad de beneficios en Hostel Colonial, pueden seguirlos aquí o en las otras plataformas mencionadas, también en Twitter o Facebook.
Hasta pronto.

On April 17 th., 2007 I opened my account on Twitter, it has been 2 years. I have no doubt that Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires was the first hostel in the world have an account on Twitter. Almost without realizing was joined followers and friends, slowly the network was expanded, there were very few in fact and in my case is not yet understood the importance and correct use of a micro-blogging platform like Twitter.
I like Twitter, I also like Blip.fm, both the social networks that are mostly used over Facebook, Orkut, Plurk, Jaiku and Pownce (no longer exists today).
Virtual friends became real friends. Some followers (mostly Argentines, we are First World. Do you remember? We find it too look inwards.) ceased to follow me, is almost a natural condition.
Every day there are more events related to Twitter in Buenos Aires, this is my debt, I could not go to anyone else. The network is vast and the result is absolutely positive.
Has been so long since we
Blog de Viajes, the
Best Spanish Language Blog, published “
A hostel in Buenos Aires was using Twitter“, learning time, until they came to be finalists in the
Lonely Planet 2009 Travel Blogger Awards –
Best Micro-blogging.
In the middle, the people, the most important thing in this way it has to transcend the virtual space of
140 characters, the ones who know, the ones who I know.
To all, thanks. Jorge

The category that Hostel Colonial Buenos Aires has been nominated in the Lonely Planet 2009 Travel Blogger Awards is for Best Micro-blogging. For me it´s a great joy because Twitter was the first social network which I participated. Also thanks to Twitter, that the work was done in early 2007 began to be observed.
Coincidentally the first person who mentioned in his blog about the existence of a hostel at Twitter and who somehow internalizes me about the use of social networks was Jorge Gobbi, author of Blog de Viajes, another argentine blog that has been nominated in the category Best Spanish Language Blog.
There are top five nominated blogs in each category. You can vote for one blog in each category (Hostel Colonial = Best Micro-blogging). Voting will close at 12am on Wednesday 20th March 2009 Pacific Time USA.

The
Hostel Colonial received a highlight mention in
Hostel Management , a site dedicated to
hostel owners and managers.
We were recognized by our job using tools for marketing campaign on the
Web 2.0, that has been being developed since a long while, in the social networks. According to the webmaster of the forum (Thanks Josh),
Hostel Colonial is a leader in using
social media for
hostel marketing.
The
Hostel Colonial is already on
Facebook,
Twitter ,
Orkut,
Jaiku,
Plurk,
Blip.fm,
MySpace and other social networks, always with new and varied contents, updated every day. We have just launched our
blog in
Wordpress, with a new layout and even more information, photos, videos, reviews and events related to the city of
Buenos Aires,
Argentina, with low-cost travel, with the
hostel and with the
backpackers universe. We certainly owe a great part of this merit to our friends, guests and
blog readers, we expect a great and successful 2009 and we´ll be working for that.

It´s been almost 2 years since I´ve created my account in
Twitter, the first
social network I´ve logged in from the
Hostel Colonial and I still think that little by little, we´re getting out of the bubble that represents the
Internet and taking back the lost spaces in the streets of
Buenos Aires.
In every street of this world, there are sensations, fellings, experiences. Behind each avatar there are people, sinergy, empathy, there´s a necessity of creating, generating something. Let´s set an aim for 2009: Convert the avatar in people.
Hostel Colonial – Redes Sociales – La gente detrás del avatar
Ya casi pasan 2 años desde que abrí mi cuenta en
Twitter, la primera
red social a la que subscribí desde
Hostel Colonial y sigo pensando que muy lentamente vamos saliendo de la burbuja que representa la
Internet y vamos recuperando el espacio perdido en las calles de
Buenos Aires, en las calles de todo el mundo, hay sensaciones, sentimientos, vivencias. Detrás de cada
avatar hay personas, hay sinergia, hay empatía, hay una necesidad intrínseca de generar algo. Empecemos un objetivo para 2009:
Convertir al avatar en personas.
