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.

VeteranOwnedBusiness.com in March received over 125,000 page views (daily average over 4,050).  This number shows a continued growth since the launch of the VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Directory on Veteran’s Day 2008 (November 11, 2008). 

Planned page views for the 1st quarter of 2009 was set at 250,000.  We are still tallying up various site stats but can already confirm that VeteranOwnedBusiness.com will have easily surpassed that number. We will present a 1st quarter 2009 wrap up post in a few more days. 

Additional stats for March:
March Web Hits: 281,691
March Web Hits (daily average): 9,087

Thank you to all VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Directory business listings and site visitors for continuing to help us grow the most comprehensive, user friendly online directory of small, medium and large businesses owned by veterans and service disabled veterans.

Have a nice weekend!
