Philippine Companies Keyword Tag Clouds
Take a fascinating look at what people are searching for in www.philippinecompanies.com by viewing a tag cloud of the latest 500 searches done in the website. Font size and color are adjusted to the popularity of the keyword. Some interesting insights can be derived by analyzing this relatively simple data representation.The majority of searches are targeted to Metro Manila. Indicative of how the Philippine economy is still heavily centralized around the capital. Interestingly, you’ll see how the other provinces and cities stack up as well against the capital (and its component cities against each other). i.e. Cavite, Batangas and Laguna are playing catch-up to the popularity of Metro Manila. The most common search topics entered include “Employment and Immigration“, “Construction Companies“, “Education/Schools“, “Hospitals“. This shows us the priorities of the Filipinos in terms of looking for work abroad, improving infrastructure/building houses, getting an education, and healthcare. It would be interesting to see how these trends change over time so check-back every now and then to Philippinecompanies.com’s Tag Cloud Page.
New look and features for PhilippineCompanies.com
At over 10,000 visitors/day PhilippineCompanies.com is now one of the top 1000 websites in the Philippines. This coincides as well with the site surpassing 50,000 companies listed in its database.  In our continuing effort to improve the website, the following changes have recently gone live: PhilippineCompanies.com has moved to our Cloud-based Virtual Private Servers which would allow us to scale more easily as the site continues to grow. The upgrade should significantly increase the website loading time as well. The site has been redesigned to what we think is a cleaner and sleeker look. A new section that has gone live but still under constant improvement and development is the Stock Market section of the site. This area provides links to stock information and news for Publicly Traded Philippine Companies. Visitors can now download the PhilippineCompanies Toolbar to have faster access to the PhilippineCompanies search engine. Expect several other new features in the next few weeks!
