Quarter two of 2008 has seen a leap in website traffic for Basingstoke Business news with unique visitors up 53.47% on Q1.

The continued rise in traffic is the result of a number of initiatives:

• Increased syndication of news from third party news websites.
• Increased level of interest coming to us from local businesses.
• The growth of the business directory.
• Content is optimised for search engines when posted for increased exposure - search engine traffic is up 12%

We are currently working on a new version of the site which should be up and running in the next couple of months. This will move more towards a general business portal for Basingstoke and we have new interactive features coming.

The hope is that as more people sign up to Basingstoke Business News, the more interactive the site will become, with the potential for you to post your own business news.

Thanks for your continued support.
