Our traffic growth over 2009

10 Feb

TravelGround has grown in leaps and bounds since the beginning of 2009 – for more insight into our progress, read on…

From humble beginnings…

In March of 2009 we began registering accommodation establishments for our nation-wide South African accommodation website. In early August, less than 6 months later, we opened our brand-new booking service with 380 establishments. During that 1st month we had almost 3,500 pageviews. That traffic resulted in only 10 accommodation leads. Action was required!

To the present…

Today, TravelGround is growing faster than ever. Over the last 6 months we have added an additional 500 accommodation establishments and now list almost 30,000 beds in 900 accommodation establishments across South Africa.

In the month of January we had almost 90,000 page-views which represents an incredible 2500,00% increase in traffic over 6 months, but even more importantly we had over 1000 enquiries for accommodation.

For a more visual representation of our speedy growth, take a look at the graphs below:

Over the course of 6 months, traffic at TravelGround.com has grown to 90,000 pageviews per month

In only 6 months our rapidly growing traffic has reached 90,000 pageviews per month, and is still growing fast.

By January 2010 TravelGround was sending over 1000 enquires per month to accommodations across South Africa

Even after the busy peak season our number of website enquiries has continued to grow. In January, we generated over 1,000 enquiries, and we expect over 1,500 enquiries in February.

We’re excited about our growth thus far, but what really excites us is all the growth that lies ahead!
