Please note that the General Statistics information below and the graph directly below reflect statistics over the last 30 days. Sunday, January 23, 2000 to Sunday, February 20, 2000.

Prior to Monday, January 31, 2000 there had been no promotion of the website as we were still in the early stages of website development.  We started the first stage of website promotion on Monday, January 31, 2000 by soliciting members to our Web Ring (information on the webring can be found at http://www.hearingcenteronline.com/join/ and at http://www.hearingcenteronline.com/webring/. To date, we have sent out three batches of invitations for websites to join our Web Ear Ring (350 emails on January 31st, 350 emails on February 14th and another 300 on February 17th).  The web ring is only the first of many marketing initiatives we will be using to promote this website.  Our goal is to achieve in excess of 3000 visitors per day (over 1 million per year) by June 2001). As you can clearly see by the graph below, within our first month, we are already achieving unprecedented growth. By our 21st day of active marketing we are already achieving in excess of 600 visitors per day.

We would like to emphasize that the successful results you see here are purely from one marketing piece (the web ring).  Soon we will be benefiting from traffic due to positioning within search engine and directory listings as well as a host of other Marketing venues.

The target market of this website is primarily the baby boom population who suffer from hearing impairment due to the aging.
