What makes Zip the best :

TRAFFIC: As in all advertising, the Number One criteria for choosing where to spend your advertising budget, is exposure and readership. On an average, Zip receives approx. 30% more visits than our closest local competitor and as much as 40-50% more visits than our other local competitors. When compared to National or International Travel sites, Zip gets approximately 60+% more visits for the Zihuatanejo, Ixtapa, Troncones and Barra de Potosi destinations.

DESTINATION SPECIFIC: Zip maintains independent URL's and portals for each of our local destinations, with links between those portals. Check out www.zihua.net www.ixtapa.net , www.troncones.net, www.barradepotosi.com and www.patzcuaromexicom.com. Each of these portals is destination specific. That means that visitors to that site are specifically looking for information on that particular destination. Therefore, each visitor is already a qualified sales lead because they have already decided on visiting that destination. Consider that on a international site, a visitor first has to select Mexico and then go through the Mexican destinations listed from A to Z. On national sites, the same principle applies.

SHUT DOWN IMMUNITY: For the most part, web sites are subject to shutdowns for a number of reasons. The web hosting service you are using is most likely being hosted on another USA based hosting service. If so, your page is subject to shutdowns if the central hosting service goes off, line , out of business, or receives a copyright violation complaint DIGITAL MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (DMCA) against your primary hosting service. AT ZIP, OUR CLIENTS ARE HOSTED ON BOTH OUR USA BASED HOSTING SERVICE AND BACKED UP OUR OWN LOCAL ISP SERVER SYSTEM. Our clients not only have double coverage, but are also protected from any DMCA complaints because our local server is not subject t o the USA 1996 Communications Act. Zip is the only local hosting service that can make that guarantee. With anywhere from 50% to 90% of your business being dependent on your web page being on line, a 3 to 10 day shut down.(as legally required by the DMCA on any formally filed complaint) could cost you many thousands of dollars in lost revenues.

SELECTIVE MARKET PENETRATION: Our competitors use one portal with links to their various pages and URL's. This method uses less memory and saves money with their hosting service. But it also lumps all their visits into one counter. Therefore the client has no way of knowing the amount of traffic their particular destination (Zihuatanejo, Troncones, Ixtapa, Barra de Potosi, etc) is getting. That information is important in the process of how you market your own page and select where to best host it for maximum exposure.
Zip has created and maintains a separate portal for each destination we promote; (I,e: zihua.net, ixtapa.net, troncones.net. ) Each has it's own counter and each is submitted independently to search engines. We also own the URL's Barradepotosi.com, Pantla.com, Petatlan.com and Patzcuraro Mexico.com; which will be going up as separate, interconnected portals over the next couple of months.

STATE OF THE ART PROGRAMS: Zip does not work with programs that have been illegally pirated from the Internet. We only work with state of the art programs which we have purchased and are specifically licensed to us. Pirated programs are often flawed and cannot be upgraded. The other problem with pirated programming is that many companies are starting to protect their products against pirates by loading virus's into programs that are downloaded without paying. There is also a question as to whether the copyright on your web page can be challenged if it is found that the page was constructed with pirated design programs.
