Cambodian webmaster wins scholarship to China
Sihanoukville: 16 March 2012 -- The chief webmaster for Don Bosco sites in Cambodia, Mr Sieng, is going to China for 18 months thanks to a scholarship he has been awarded by a University. Fr Al Rodas, who initially trained him, says: "I am very proud and hope to see him come back with more talents, as a real son of Don Bosco. His dedication and his love for Don Bosco will surely give him the best. His pupils will continue his work on the websites of Don Bosco in Cambodia".
A US web-trawling site has listed it amongst its "Top 10 Websites in Cambodia": donboscohotelschool.com makes it in at tenth position. Fr Rodas opened the website in 2007. In 2009 it was Sieng, with the support of Mr. Pietro Hublits, who continued and now he is the webmaster. The citation for the site as one of Cambodia's best is as follows:
10. Don bosco hotel and hotel school-Sihanoukville
Don Bosco is the name of the technical school in Cambodia aiming to offer technical knowlege to Cambodian students so they can use this knowledge to improve their living conditions. Lately, Don Bosco has developed a resort and its own hotel in Sihanouk province. It is very good place to enjoy and relax.
Of course, maintianing good rankings requires constant effort. Google page rank is a world-wide ranking system that currently places the donbosco hotel site at '3'. Officially there are 10 levels, but only Google gets '10'!! For all practial purposes, '7' is regarded as the 'top' ranking from Google, unless you are CNN or Amazon or someone in that categtory. sdb.org, for example, gets '5' on this scale. Google page rank indicates the importance based on the importance of other sites that point to your pages.
A good way to check your site traffic is not Google but the Alexa ranking, which most webmasters would give greater credence to. Alexa actually tells you who is linking to your site at the moment. In Sihanoukville's case: yahoo.com,squidoo.com, hubpages.com (pisethz.hubpages.com/hub/top-10-khmer-websites), cruisecritic.com wikitravel.org etc, or in other words, important travel sites, which is to their advantage.
