By adding features to the website, such as the Basingstoke Business directory, we have seen a marked increase in traffic over the past month, with February 2008 reaching our best traffic ever - meaning more people are seeing the news in Basingstoke.

Bearing in mind this is a very specific geographical website, the search engines referrals are coming in thick and fast. This is also partly to the breadth of stories we are being sent. That said, the more we get, the better the traffic.

Traffic for February reached is highest with 825 unique visitors looking at 1805 pages of information.

Most of which is being driven from search engines - people could be finding you through this website.

About these figures

These figures are taken from in-page tracking, rather than taken from Hits or Log Stats. This means the visitors are real people. They do not include any regular contributors - we discard those visits.

Please keep the news coming - this is the main part of the website and will continue to drive traffic. If you are a Basingstoke business, based in Hook, Tadley, out to Whitchurch, etc. please e-mail us your press releases and help build even more value, which we can all share as the Basingstoke Business Community.

Thanks, Craig
