Internet Search data shows dramatic increase in web based searching
Schoolseek are pleased to advise subscribers that we exceeded the magic 300,00 hits per month ( well regarded as a benchmark for site popularity ) with just over 312,000 hits on the site during November. With just under 10,000 unique visitors viewing 97,000 pages during the month – we are very pleased that our initial research which highlighted an undersupplied market – parents seeking the RIGHT school for thier child – was in fact correct.
Some of the statistics are very intersting in terms of marketing in schools – with not only a large increase in hits but also a large % of users viewing several pages and staying on the site for longer periods. In fact nearly 2,000 users spent more than 15 minutes browsing schools of interest !
The site is now highly ranked by major search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahho and is often now a first point of call for parents looking for information on schools. Interestingly a larger number of our visitors are international ( with visitors from UK, USA, Russia, Poland, Germany and Malaysia ) and the site is a logical starting point for any search for the RIGHT school for any child.
