Being acquainted with Jogja Through "YogYES.COM"
~ Bernas Jogja (24 December 2004) ~

For both domestic and foreign tourists desiring to visit Jogja, do not worry about direction and tourism objects to be visited. It is because all necessary information has been totally presented in Tourism Catalogue of YogYES.COM.

"The site performance with tourism catalogue does differentiate Yogyes from other Jogja information sites. Its incomparability is on that of presenting tourism information, entertainment places, and restaurants comprehensively, like profiles of tourism object, company profile, photograph, address, product or service details, and online contact," explained the YogYES.COM Project Leader, Agus Supriadi, to press on Wednesday (22/12).

The site visitors might find desired information merely in 3-4 times click, without any tens of browsing. Unlike such tourism, catalogue, the portal or directory information sites present wide-ranging information perfunctorily. It often simply states lists of company names, addresses, and link to each website.

YogYES.COM, according to Agus, has been operationally online in September 2003, presenting various information about tourism objects, tourism calendar, city map, hotel, resto, café, handicrafts, art gallery, travel agency, and alternative tourism in Jogja. It is offered in two languages, namely Bahasa Indonesia and English.

"YogYES.COM prefers engage the "Yogyakarta" keywords as it has the highest opportunity to other relevant keywords," said Agus.

Based on the statistical data in big search engine, like Google, Yahoo! In addition, MSN, it is proven that the "Yogyakarta" keyword is more frequently used rather than "Jogja". It takes a ratio of 10:1. Even the Jogja tourism catalogue, www.yogyes.com, is currently crowned as the Best 2004-2005 Indonesian Site, tourism category, of the Komputer Aktif magazine version. In the competition, YogYES.COM tightly competed with two national scale tourism sites, namely www.pakerupiah.com and www.bulanmadu.com
