Celebrating our First Decade at AgMarketOnline.com

When we envisioned AgMarketOnline in 2004, we had a good feeling that it would be able to stand the test of time.  Ten years later, this easy-to-use agricultural directory has served up over 5.7 million searches, 120 million search results and has resulted in 2.5 million of our clients' banners getting clicked on.  The click through ratios that AgMarketOnline is able to produce is what makes it the best ag directory of it's kind on the internet.

App Development Announced

We'll see how long it takes for this to catch fire.  Many of you have been asking us for custom downloadable apps that can be made available through the iTunes and Google Play Markets.  Great news!  We are fully capable of creating any type of app imaginable (that does not contradict our values and mission at Hale Multimedia).

We have already created two excellent apps, one for AgMarketOnline (our Ag Directory and Marketing Tool) and one for the Horseman's Corner radio program by Howard Hale.  This free app allows users to listen to any of the daily or weekend Horseman's Corner shows featuring some of the greatest minds in the horse world.  The app also allows users to post their horses for sale either in the Classified Ads section for only $5 per horse for two months or in the more elaborate Horses For Sale section for $35 per horse for six months of advertising.

We are quite excited about all the possibilities and are looking forward to working with our clients to build practical, effective apps for less than 1/2 of what the average going rate is.  Sure, anyone can build a free app themselves and that is a great option for some folks.  If that is you, then do it and let us help you promote it!  If you do not want to learn how to build apps, then we can do it for you.  Call us toll free 800 783-1103 or send us an email at support@halemultimedia.com.

Unique Visitors and Pageviews vs. Hits

It's been alot of fun tracking the progress of AgMarketOnline.com as it grows.  We started this Ag-focused online directory in 2004 and it has continued to break it's own records year after year.

This year we have seen significant monthly increases in traffic with our average visitor viewing 10 pages!

Records that were broken in June and July of 2011 included;

  • Most Unique Visitors per Month  : 11,600    old record  :  9477
  • Most Pages Viewed per Month : 100,671    old record  :  78,150
  • Average Unique Visitors per Day : 386         old record  :  307
  • Average Pages Viewed per Day : 3355        old record  :  2520

 






As we have always taught, 'hits don't mean ....'   Ignore companies bragging about how many 'hits' they get.  What matters are unique visitors and pageviews.

What are clickthrough statistics?

AgMarketOnline.com is a rapidly growing website that is advertised on our radio network of 20+ great radio stations in NE, CO, MT, ND, SD, KS and NM and is getting hundreds of unique visitors every day. What's even better is the fact that those who are visiting agmarketonline.com are clicking through to our customer's websites at a rate that is higher than the global average by several times! Some of our clients are getting clickthrough ratios in the double digits. Your clickthrough ratio or CTR is calculated by dividing clickthroughs by your total exposures. Google, Yahoo, MSN etc average around 2-3% CTR. Some of our websites are averaging 5-10 times that!

AgMarketOnline.com is doing a great job of driving potential customers to your website. Now let's make sure we're doing everything on your website to capture and convert these visitors into more money for you.

AgMarketOnline Sets Record

AgMarketOnline.com is an Advertising Cooperative established in 2004 to help our clients promote their websites through our national radio programs. As a website hosting client of Hale Multimedia, you currently receive a complimentary Level 2 Membership in our AMO COOP.

One of our primary goals is to establish a sense of community where members first look to other members when it comes to searching for products and services online. We are bringing buyers and sellers together through a well-established, easy to use website that is promoted nationally through Radio, Internet and Print Media.

AgMarketOnline.com has grown from a handful of hits a month to several hundred unique visitors every day with thousands of searches being conducted for a wide variety of products and services. Last month (March 2008) AgMarketOnline.com presented 20,874 unique pageviews to thousands of unique visitors. This broke our previous monthly record of just over 16,000 pageviews.

What does this mean for you? It means that your website is getting more exposure every day. Visit www.agmarketonline.com and see for yourself. There is a small counter that will show you how many times your business has been found when visitors search. Try it. Search for your name. You'll see the number of times your ad banner has been viewed. For any of our Headline Sponsors (banners that appear at the top of the page) we also provide a statistic of how many people have actually clicked through to their website from AgMarketOnline.com. A Level 3 Membership is what gets your banner randomly displayed at the top of all the pages and is available to our clients at 50% off of the normal $50 per month membership - or $25 per month (plus whatever you are paying for hosting).

If AgMarketOnline.com was just another website trying to sell banner ads online, then it would get lost in the shuffle. Let's face it, there may be more webpages in existence than there are human beings on the planet. How many website companies do you know of that have an network of 20+ radio stations in 7 States promoting their website? We do. Every single day, AgMarketOnline.com is promoted on great radio stations in Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas and New Mexico. This is an advertising coop worth taking a very serious look at. You receive this free membership by virtue of your hosting with us.
