Why
are our websites a #1 source for aviation, travel,
transportation, tourism and business
topics? Operating
three "magazine-style websites generating
close to 50,000 page views weekly, and 11 million
hits, requires numerous searches and accurate
monitoring. A combination of Yahoo, Google, and
Webtrends works wonders in this key area. We're
well endowed with over 2,000 pages of news items,
photo galleries, stories and profiles on travel,
tourism, transportation and economic development.
One site focuses on a single continent - Africa.
The result? Web trends shows an unusual length of
time, from 7 to 15 minutes, per average visit
session. The second key result is that Air Highways
Magazine, BC Scene and Africa Travel Magazine
appear at or near the top on many
searches. For

Card: Why
is Africa Travel Magazine #1 for searches on
African topics? Africa
Travel Magazine's 1,300- page website -
www.africa-ata.org - is a search leader, often
outscoring official company or government sites
with far bigger budgets. Whether it's a hot
marketing theme, such as "Magical Kenya" ...
"Zambia's The Real Africa," Cameroon's "Africa in
One Country" - or an African Tourism Minister in
the news, we rank usually rank high. Our ATA
researchers love Google and adore Yahoo, which
shows the many thousands, sometimes a million or
more entries from which our page(s) scored #1 or
appeared in the Top Ten. Our strong support for
events such as Peace through Tourism, Adventures in
Travel Expo, African Diaspora Heritage Trail, SADC
Heads of State Summit, and Corporate Council for
Africa, is rewarded by outstanding search results.
Same for great causes like "Students for Peace",
"Miracle Corners", "Africa Group" and the "Flying
Hospital." For a universal topic like "Africa
Fashion," here's an even bigger surprise:
We're #1 on Yahoo out of a
million plus entries. Annual hits are close to 8
million; weekly page views average 32,312; visitor
sessions are 21,511 weekly, and the average visit
lasts 8:11 minutes. Our peak average was 15 minutes
in March, 2003. That means we have what experts
call a "sticky site," one that people enjoy, find
easy to navigate, and return to often. 1.
