Website Statistics 2008-11
In 2008 we ventured into the world of IT and started researching what would be required to launch a website. Six months later we registered www.bundaleerbeef.com.au and by August 2008 we went live. It was very satisfying to see Bundaleer on the World Wide Web and to see it being accessed so widely from all across the globe.
Since launching in 2008 we have attracted in excess of 2500 unique visitors with an average time on site of 3½ minutes. This equates to approximately 18,500 page views and over 5000 visits to the site in total.
We started out with Microsoft Publisher to help get us up and going. As a front end program it made the job easy, however as time went on we found it more and more cumbersome and Sam eventually bought a book on how to write html code. This was on the back of Google changing how crawlers would phish through sites for pertinent information about different sites, clean code (backend) would become more and more important. The second phase of the website was introduced in 2009 and in May 2011 we introduced a little Javascript (rolling images on homepage) to provide a more interactive experience and a new homepage layout.
In March 2011 we also launched our own online YouTube channel BundaleerMG with footage of Bundaleer genetics. Since March the channel has attracted over 2500 upload views. Additional linkages have been provided on the homepage with
Facebook
Flickr and the
Murray Grey Forum. These communty sites we feel will increase our exposure along with that of the Murray Grey breed.
