We thought it was worth sharing with you a few initial stats on the performance of the new Bristol Media web site. We know it’s early days but still, it all appears to be very encouraging.

We’re on target this month for over 100,000 page views, a staggering 30% increase from the previous site.

Unique visitors have also rocketed to over 10,000.

Jobs is still the most popular section, followed by the directory search, showcase and resource sections.

185 people have applied for jobs via the BM site in the last 3 weeks alone.

Ads are getting on average 165 clicks per week, with the most popular being Beef and oakwood (the little company logo buttons across the site seem to be proving a great brand building and profile raising tool).

We’ve had 60 new email subscribers in the last 11 days and 31 new companies have added a profile in the last 2 weeks.

Average time spent on the site has increased from 3.5 to over 5 minutes.

And one very interesting stat is that companies who have updated their profiles with logos, new content and keywords are seeing on average 60% more visits than those who haven’t!

So, far so good. We’ll keep you posted!
