Advertiser information

One year of statistics

All data from Google Analytics: in July 2007 visitors +41.28%, visits +63.63%, page views +23.55% and time on site +15.14% compared with July 2006. We have visitors from 182 different countries, the split USA / rest of world is about 50/50%. Registered forum users come from many countries as far apart as Australia and Finland, this is truly a global community (regular visitors are from 84 different countries on 5 continents).

Without drawing conclusions from the poll results above (we don't know who answers the polls), we can say that half of the readers answering are potential builders. It is their first visit to the site and they are looking for more information. Your information!

Advertise on www.amateurboatbuilding.com - you will reach amateur boat builders from the world over! Attractive rates and two types of program (if you are already using Google AdWords you may specifically ask that your ads appear on a.b.b.). The first half year of the new amateurboatbuilding.com (2005) saw above expected reader activity. The site had been sleeping for several months and immediately got back up to steam:

5,000 distinct visitors average per month from October to December 2005 (this does not include readers using the AOL proxy cache and other such proxy servers). UPDATE July 2007: now over 8,600
23,600 page views per month average in the same period plus forum posts - that means over 30,000 potential ad views for our advertisers per month! UPDATE July 2007: now over 60,000
1.54 visits per reader - the readers are coming back.
an estimated 9.5% of new readers added the URL to their bookmark file (24% of readers book marked a page in December 2005!)
