HorsesintheSouth.com Traffic Analysis
HorsesintheSouth.com was launched in 2000 and is experiencing continual growth year to year. In 2007, the site relaunched with new architecture from the ground up and in 2013 another site design has been launched:
- New design that provided a more visual experience featuring larger pictures and easier to browse content
- New full featured mass email software
- Blogger packages for your own site
Since the 2007 relaunch, traffic has exploded with the average number of visitors up 42%, unique IPs up 37% and the number of pages viewed up by 68%. In the first week of the new 2013 design we have already achieved over 33,500 views and over 2,100 unique visitors even during the redesign phase. We average 45,000+ views a month.
HorsesintheSouth.com’s strategy is to improve user experience to improve effectiveness for advertisers. HorsesintheSouth is home to thousands of informative news aggregated articles/posts and other content of interest that are freely available to its visitors.
Use Display/Branding Ads to Leverage Online Shopping – Despite the economy, the holiday season stimulated a great deal of online shopping and research among consumers, whether they ended up purchasing online or in stores (or at all!). This activity of searching and researching online produces special opportunities for marketers to reach consumers with ads — just as they are in-market. What’s more, during really tight times, consumers tend to eliminate impulse purchases and instead restrict themselves to considered purchases. This plays strongly to the Internet, which lends itself toward well-thought-out, highly researched decisional buying. We are here for you. We can set your advertisement up so that you will gain the exposure that you need to exceed, and still keep within your budget.
Let us design a niche banner for you. Being a familiar name takes you miles closer to closing a sale. People like to buy from companies they’ve heard of. It turns out that this is an overlooked benefit of banner ads. Banner ads are fairly worthless in terms of generating clickthroughs… you have to trick too much and manipulate too much to get clicks worth much of anything. But, if you build ads with no intent of clicks, no hope for clicks… then you can focus on ads that drill your name or picture or phrase into a consumer’s head. 1000 impressions and you’re almost famous. A household name. Not for everyone, but for people who matter.
Let us design your banner for you, if you don’t have a banner. The banner design cost averages around $110-$130, but you get to KEEP the banner to use anywhere else you want.

Ask Not What They Can Do for You, Ask What You Can Do for Them
Creating a website that generates new sales and new leads is all about your customers. What matters is what happens when they step inside your online shop. Do they buy or not? You can create a website that ensures they do buy, and often!
Make sure your website grabs their attention, encourages them to take action, speaks their language, gets personal, keeps it simple, adds value, stays relevant, projects credibility and treats them right.
The above is an excerpt from a website, Marketing Breakthroughs that I think is very appropriate. I have added this because we are going back into the processes of designing websites for our equestrian clients so that we can assist you in getting your website seen in today’s tough economy.
We offer websites designed using WordPress as a CMS and a blog package. It is much easier on all of us to implement and you can update it yourself. WordPress.org has become a main choice of many large website designs since there is such a large user community to provide you with theme designs and support, plus many books are written on how to use it. It does require some technical knowledge to set it up and some to maintain it, but in the long run, we feel it is the best way to go for new website designs. Contact us for our pricing, although that can vary depending on what theme we use and how complex the website needs to be, so we still will need to discuss details with you about your requirements. Plus, with the blog’s built-in RSS feed your subscriber will be notified when you, as a publisher of your blog, adds new posts to your blog’s content. This is really cool!
A combination of your own customized blog along with your Twitter, Facebook or other social networking accounts is the fastest way to get your information out to the ‘intertubes’. We will even help you set up your Twitter account and follow equine people and a Facebook account and find friends. By publishing our posts 
to our Facebook accounts (combined over 11,000 friends and fans) and our Twitter accounts, we get hundreds of views a day on these posts and literally thousands of inbound links. This is a great way to drive traffic to your blog site!
Contact us for cost. Cost depends on how fancy you want to get. There are many WordPress plugins that offer a lot of functionality. Contact mktg@horsesinthesouth.com for information about our pricing and details.
