Search engine placement was excellent. For the thirteen search
terms I track, Motorcycle-Vermont was in the top 5 positions for 11
terms. The site on the first page of results for Google, Yahoo and
MSN for all terms. Sites ranking higher than Motorcycle-Vermont.com
were consistently sites that have been in existence longer. Length
of operation influences search engine placement.

Our social network has also grown. Facebook Fans grew to 362 in
October - a 70% increase over the fan base from January 2010.
Twitter followers now exceed 565.
Over seventy percent of visitors are first time visitors,
meaning readers are still learning about the site.
Motorcycle-Vermont has reached this level by making efficient
use of few resources. I would like to thank all of the businesses
who sponsored
Motorcycle-Vermont in 2010. I am sure that readership will
continue to grow in 2011 as I continue to expand content and offer
new site features. Look for our Vermont Motorcycle Marketplace and
other new attractions!
Thank you!
