• The Maine Resource Guide Web Site:

The Maine Resource Guide web site emerged onto the Internet scene early in the development of the World Wide Web. Most certainly, it was one of the earliest attempts to bring the beauty and wonder of Maine to the developing global market. Travelers once restricted to out-dated information through printed publications were now treated to a continually evolving presence for Maine on-line, complete with the ability to interact with Maine businesses in the planning of their own vacation getaways.

Since it's online premiere in July of 1995, the Maine Resource Guide has welcomed hundreds of thousands of Internet surfers to a virtual tour of Maine. Many Maine business owners were at first surprised, then elated to see such a large percentage of their annual business come from their web site on the Maine Resource Guide. In fact, several businesses in the accommodations industry report that well over 50% of their annual reservation now are attributable to their online presence in the Guide.

The Maine Resource Guide has now evolved into Maine's most-accessed commercial web site, offering Maine products and services from over 350 businesses. With a monthly traffic averaging 250,000 hits, the Guide offers a successful advertising medium for web sites and banner advertisement. It is Maine's most marketable online environment.

The development of the Guide into a successful commercial site has had significant benefit to the Maine community, as well. Aside from the economic advantage of millions of dollars in revenue generated each year, the growing demand for more interactive features has resulted in the launch of an additional fun and community oriented site; MaineEvents.com.

• Maine Events Scheduler:

The interest in Maine as a vacation destination is not surprising for those of us who treasure it as our home. Summer festivals, Maine lobster, scenic coastal islands and rugged woods attract millions to Maine each year. Yet, until now, it was difficult to keep up with everything that was happening in Maine. Will the Commonground Fair move to it's new location in Unity this year (which, by the way, it will!)? Is the Maine Lobster Festival in Camden or Rockport?

These questions, often sent to us by email, let us know there was a need to be filled on the Internet - Event Schedules! Thus, the MaineEvents.com web site was born and today enjoys a high traffic from interested visitors. In addition, Maine people can now log in and submit their own events, helping to populate the site with hundreds of interesting activities, ranging from local concerts in the park to professional conferences. Stop by today and check it out!
