In a recent survey of the major search engines, Barbados.org was more widely linked than any other Caribbean Island, beating Mexico, Jamaica and every Caribbean destination, even the Caribbean Tourism Organization site.
AXSES (www.axses.com), a pioneer in electronic media and interactive marketing and owner of www.Barbados.org, queried the five popular search engines Google, AltaVista, MSN, HotBot and Lycos to determine how many pages in each search engine linked to Barbados.org.
The process was repeated for the major tourism portals of all Caribbean countries. For Bahamas, bahamas.com was used, and for Aruba - aruba.com. Barbados.org has by far the most page links, receiving some 24 percent more links than the second-placed aruba.com. The results attest to the popularity of Barbados.org, which has come to be regarded as the online Encyclopaedia of Barbados.
