Over
29,500 people a week used MILWEB in July 2007 |
|
MILWEB
readers (or visitors) reached over 139,862 in July 2007.
That's not "hits" ( which ran into 9.3 million!) but the all
important individual visitors – these are the people who spend money
with our trade and private advertisers.
We have now consistently averaged over 31,800 people
per week using MILWEB in the last 12 months
- that's a staggering amount of buyers and sellers. This huge visitor
traffic is great news for all our advertisers, both trade and private.
MILWEB's military readership is the largest on the Internet
by a huge factor. That's why advertising on MILWEB is
so successful! MILWEB's huge traffic is due to 8 years
of hard work and our enviable position at Number One on Google for "military
vehicles". Our visitor traffic is of course genuine and is based
on unique visitors over a 7 day period.
That's why MILWEB is firmly established as the only site
funded by paying adverts from the military market.

Happy Birthday MILWEB - 8 years old on June 6th..... |
|
A momentous day
for mankind was how someone described the events on 6th of June 1944.
It was fitting that in the early hours of June 6th 1999, MILWEB
went live. None of us involved in MILWEB's concept were
expecting the dramatic and influential effect that MILWEB
would have on the military surplus and collectors marketplace. MILWEB
spring boarded the military vehicle scene onto the internet and has now
expanded rapidly into the militaria, weaponry and re-enactor marketplace.
Operated on a full time professional basis, MILWEB provides
Classic Military Vehicle Magazine
with a monthly overview of the market and complies a price guide of the
most popular vehicles in the collectors marketplace.
In the last 8 years virtually every type of vehicle has been succesfully
sold on MILWEB from a Series 1 landrover project at less
than £400, to a battle damaged 1944 Panther at over £300,
000 - with many thousands of vehicles militaria and weapons as well.

Motor Museum, Beaulieu

and Troops Show at Beaulieu.
Mitch from the West Midlands, brought his 1943, Ford M8 armoured car to
the show, and was fortunate to win Best Armoured Vehicle sponsored by
Milweb.
"I was absolutley dumb stuck when I was told I had won, and it was
even more of a surprise to be presented to Lord Monatgu.
An excellent show that has the makings
of a bigger show for next year!"
Well done Mitch!

Changes to MILWEB Classifieds - get the full picture! |
|
With well over
29,000 people a week visiting MILWEB
during the last two years, we are pleased to announce some changes to
the presentation of Classified adverts in the Vehicle Park,
Militaria and Weapons and the Wanted
sections of MILWEB.
Now that so many advertisers
and purchasers appreciate the value of picture adverts, these now appear
at the top of each page in date order and the (free) text only adverts,
again in date order, now sit below the picture adverts.
At just £5 per 30 days, picture
adverts are incredible value and our customers frequently tell us that
adverts with pictures bring much faster results.
As a full time operation, MILWEB
is committed to our advertisers, customers & visitors and
this is one of many enhancements that will be implemented during 2007.

MILWEB - Number One on GOOGLE |
|
MILWEB is consistently
number one out of 13 MILLION PAGES on Google for those
searching for “Military Vehicles” and in the top 5 for many
other military search terms.
MILWEB has its own dedicated server and our
sophisticated visitor traffic analysis shows us the various search terms
people use to find us. Thus we are able to tailor MILWEB
to ensure its profile matches our visitors’ searches – and
keep our profile so high in the search engines.
Please note that MILWEB's 29,000
plus visitors a week are GENUINE visitors, not hits or page views
– that’s another reason MILWEB is so successful!
