With the version 5.00 camping.de has a new and fresh look - combined with a higher usability and user comfort.

Due to our continuing success - also a result of our integration of the panoramio picture service - we receive more and more complaints about copyright issues.

Please refer to our statement.

Even though the Google ranking remains unchanged user numbers increased 4 times compared to january of last year and nearly doubled compared to the last success year before leaving of the main development team in 2006. And that without having any running advertisments in december/january - good for us.

The first october days confirm the september figures and our upward trend. At google we climb one place and currently stay at 11th place. We are eager to know when we can finally move forward in the top 10.

Our efforts to improve the quality finally show impact. After the departure of the core team in 2006 visitor numbers have declined steadily - our efforts over the year and especially the release 4.01- brought the turn around.

While our visitors seasonally from August to September, typically decreased by 30-40%, this September we recorded only a drop of 12%. Seasonally adjusted, we have thus achieved an increase of 40%. In direct comparison, the first month we could beat the number of hits from 2006 - by a whopping 30%.

We are pleased that our work is slowly showing impact, and we take this as an incentive to continue to improve camping.de.

Note: We are missing detailed statistics for the period 2007-2009, so that we use 2006 as a reference for our comparisons. 2006 was camping.de under the same technical direction, as it is currently.

With the coming version 4.00 for the improvements to the basic platform in addition to technical improvements now finally has new features for the users in the surface.

We are satisified with an intermediate 17th rank in google.de for the search term "camping".

After camping.de was apparently banned from the Google index, or at least was not listed in the top 1000, we are enjoyign a short-term place in the top 20 and a solid 28th place currently in the Google Top 30 for the term 'camping'

Since the separation of the development team from the Sass GmbH in 2006, camping.de run on a decoupled version of the CMS J3S (master template). Both the installation and the system management was carried out, unfortunately, poorly, which has led to significant performance problems and failures.

As part of the upgrade to the latest version J3S CMS also the complete source code and database camping.de a refactoring has been subject. The data quality could be increased and defective link in the directory could be resolved.

New management, old team

Since 26/10/2009 is the Sass Consulting GmbH under new management. The original team for design, concept and software development, which was responsible already 1996 responsible for the granddaddy of all online camping guides "ecamp.com" and in the years 2004-2006 for the current "camping.de" is back on board.

Nearly five years without meaningful development is a long dry spell that has now come to an end. Concepts and functions of the 2004 already earmarked for the redesign and many new ideas are already on the road.

Besides the quality of the data the user experience is browsing through camping.de in the foreground. We are glad to push our project forward again.
