Information About Cost Rica

For all of you out there who search the web a lot like I do, I would like to introduce you to a search engine and portal dedicated to bringing you the best pages in Costa Rica. The name is the Information About Costa Rica Search Engine and all searches are targeted at Costa Rica. Let me know what you think. It is constantly being tweaked and updated to include the most relevant sites and filter out the trash. If you think your site should be included comment here and I'll suggest it.

Plans for the future include adding a human edited directory to the site. The directory will make sure that only sites relevant to the category are listed. Submissions will be free, but featured listings will attempt to cover the cost. The categories are open for suggestions, but will include a number of standards, and a number of things particular to Costa Rica.

The portal aspect of the page should be interesting as well. We are dedicating pages to all of the most searched for things in Costa Rica. Hot topics such as real estate, weddings, vacations, fishing, hotels, moving and living in Costa Rica, and more will each have a page with earnest advice.

Finally, what site today is complete without a blog. The blog on Information about Costa Rica will be used to alert people to new content on the portal, as well as publish press releases from businesses listed in the blog.
