Veteran Owned Business Directory Update

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Hello Fellow Veteran Owned Businesses and Supporters of Veteran-Owned Businesses:

We wanted to give you a quick update on several very important additions to our VeteranOwnedBusiness.com directory.  We will have a more detailed update next month that will cover all the changes that we made to the directory in the first half of 2009.

Sharing Capability:
Recently we added a sharing capability to all the category pages as well as each business listing page.  This great new feature allows visitors (and businesses with a listing) an easy way to share a business listing and/or category page with your contacts (via email) as well as social media networking sites.  Look for the red “share” link on the left side of each category page or up top (right side) of each business listing page.  This feature is especially useful for business listings that don’t have a web page.  This will allow you to share your business listing with potential partners, prospects and more.

Free Badge Banner Program:
A couple of months ago we added a new badge banner page where businesses listed in VeteranOwnedBusiness.com can download a badge to put on their site stating that their business is owned by a veteran and is featured on VeteranOwnedBusiness.com.  We also have a section where visitors can download a “VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Supporter” badge to use on a website, in email, in print and more.  Visit our badge banner page for more information: http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/VOB_reciprocal_link.php.  We appreciate the 1000s of sites that have already set up a link to VeteranOwnedBusiness.com using one of our image badges or text banners.  It is thanks to off all you that people around the world have come in and visited nearly 700,000 pages this year.  THANK YOU!

Spotlight Sponsor Program:
We’ve created a spotlight sponsorship program that allows business listings the opportunity to showcase a discount, ad, coupon, etc. randomly throughout over 10,000 VeteranOwnedBusiness.com pages.  It also give additional features including a post in the Veteran Owned Business Directory Blog, get to add a logo to their listing, a coupon, discount or ad that runs directly on your listing and much more.  For more details about this great offer solely for business listings, visit our sign up page and view the “member sponsor” column: http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/signup_plans.php.   BTW – listings with spotlights typically get about 90% more traffic than a normal listing.

New Non Profit Section:
Over the past few months we have added a new “non profit” sectionto VeteranOwnedBusiness.com.  This section highlights non profit organizations and businesses that offer free services to veterans, families of veterans, deployed troops, disabled veterans, homeless veterans and more including medical and legal help, assisted living assistance, help with VA benefits and more.  If you are a non profit organization, be sure to get your organization’s listing on VeteranOwnedBusiness.com by clicking on this link: http://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/signup.php?plan=4.  All non profit organizations listed receive a logo and post in the VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Blog at no cost of course.

That pretty much highlights the major changes to the VeteranOwnedBusiness.com Directory recently.  We will put out a more detailed update next month that will highlight all the major changes so far in 2009.

1st Quarter 2009 Web Statistics – A Record Breaking Quarter

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

We have finely found the time to go through the pages and pages of statistics in order to determine several key website visitor numbers for the 1st quarter of 2009.

In short, the combined website visitor numbers for VeteranOwnedBusiness.com far surpassed our 1st quarter forecasted website traffic.  In a little under 150 days since going live (Veteran’s Day 2008), we had over a quarter of a million pages viewed!  Here are the numbers:

27,872 = Site visitors for 1st quarter of 2009 (75% higher than forecasted)
286,342 = Page views for 1st quarter of 2009 (15% higher than forecasted)
10.3 = Average number of pages viewed per visitor (200% higher than forecasted)
3,330 = External sites with links to VeteranOwnedBusiness.com
10,633 = Different search terms used to find VeteranOwnedBusiness.com

April’s numbers have already surpassed numbers for March (which was our best month).  With several press releases planned, a direct mail and telemarketing campaign planned and several other promotional programs planned, we expect the 2nd quarter of 2009 to continue to grow and exceed all 1st quarter traffic numbers.

Directory of Veteran Owned Companies

For an apples to apples comparison of other sites that broadcast their website statistics: VeteranOwnedBusiness.com had 647,377 web hits during the first quarter of 2009.  For our stats packages, we look at actual visitors.  Web hits traditionally register server hits not visitors and often times can includes numerous hits for links, images and more from just one visitor on one page.

New Direct Contact Listing Form Added to VeteranOwnedBusiness.com

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

We are proud to announce that our direct contact form attached to each veteran owned business listed is now fully functional.  Site visitors looking to communicate via email with veteran owned businesses now have a quick email form they can fill out that will automatically send an email to the listed contact in each veteran owned business listing.

To communicate directly with a veteran owned business via the email form, simply look for the “contact this business” link on the right side of each VeteranOwnedBusiness.com listing.  This contact form is in addition to phone numbers, direct website links and more already listed with a typical business listing. 

Of course there is no charge for this service.  All businesses listed in VeteranOwnedBusiness.com will have this function automatically added to their respective listings.

Thank You,
