Welcome Veterans Hope of Stafford Virginia to The Veteran Owned Business Directory Non Profit Section

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is proud to welcome: Veterans Hope to the Veteran Owned Business Directory Non Profit Section.  

From Veterans Hope:
“It is no secret that our veteran’s and their families are crying for help. All too often though, help is never received…servicemen and women and their families simply do not know who to turn to for help. Veterans’ Hope Mobile Command Center will travel all across the country…reaching out to our service men and women and their families at the grass roots level. The Command Center will harness the efforts of hundreds of charitable organizations, whose charters are to support our men and women in uniform and their families. The Command Center will also link our servicemen and women to Veteran Owned Businesses if needed.

We will reach out to our veterans and their families at events all across the country, to include NASCAR, NHRA and other motor sports venues, as well as community celebrations like “Seattle Seafair” and “Fleet Week.” Getting information into the hands of those who need it is an overwhelming task. The Mobile Command Center will take on that task and deliver “Hope” personally.

The Mobile Command Center will utilize a comprehensive database of service organizations, veteran owned businesses, as well as carry brochures, pamphlets, business cards and whatever else organizations would like to distribute. By connecting veterans and their families to the right organizations, the Mobile Command Center can help improve the quality of life…one service member and one family member at a time! We will show our heroes that help does exist.  Click here for more information about Veterans Hope and to find out how you can help them help our veterans!

Here are May’s numbers (rounded):

We are very happy that page views for VeteranOwnedBusiness.com have already surpassed the half million mark so far in 2009.  The amount of pages viewed per visitor has far exceeded our expectations.

These numbers are great since the main objective of VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is to help businesses owned by military veterans grow.  We know this is working because we have received numerous emails from businesses listed letting us know they’ve been contacted by prospects ranging from home owners looking for a local service provider to purchasing agents from the federal, state and/or local government agencies.

Lastly, we’d like to thank the thousands of websites out there who have taken the time to link their websites to VeteranOwnedBusiness.com.  It’s partially because of these organizations, people and businesses that our daily visitor numbers continue to rise.

Veteran Owned Business Directory’s April stats smashes record

Friday, May 1st, 2009

April’s website stats for VeteranOwnedBusiness.com are now completed.  We are very happy to announce that once again our latest record was smashed by what continues to be a dramatic rise in monthly visitors and page views.

Here are April’s numbers (rounded):

13,500 = Site visitors for April 2009
188,500 = Page views for April 2009
1,600 = Different external sites that brought in traffic in April 2009 (does not include search engines)
4,500 = Different search terms used to find VeteranOwnedBusiness.com

April’s numbers were dramatically higher than the numbers for March (which was our best month to date).  What continues to surprise all involved is the number of page views.  Unlike many sites, VeteranOwnedBusiness.com visitors seem to spend several minutes on the site and tend to view several pages before leaving (average of 13). 

These numbers are great since the main objective of VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is to help businesses owned by military veterans grow.  We know this is working because we have received numerous emails from businesses listed letting us know they’ve been contacted by prospects ranging from home owners looking for a local service provider to purchasing agents from the federal, state and/or local government agencies.

Lastly, we’d like to thank the thousands of websites out there who have taken the time to link their websites to VeteranOwnedBusiness.com.  It’s partially because of these organizations, people and businesses that our daily visitor numbers continue to rise.

For an apples to apples comparison of other sites that broadcast their website statistics: VeteranOwnedBusiness.com had 413,890 web hits for the month of April 2009.  For our stats packages, we look at actual visitors.  Web hits traditionally register server hits not visitors and often times can include numerous hits for links, images and more from just one visitor on one page.
