Rochdale Online

Page views for Rochdale Online - the borough’s most popular website - have doubled in the past 12 months.

Since summer 2010 page views have increased from an average of 1.2 million a month to 2.4 million a month.

The site, which was launched in 1998, has gone from strength to strength and is attracting more visitors than ever before as print newspaper circulation continues to decline.

Rochdale Online is home to the latest news, A-Z business listings, a popular message board, events diary and classifieds section.

Managing Director Pauline Journeaux, said: “The latest figures are great news for our advertisers.

“Many of our advertisers have been with us for years. They are established local companies using a tried and tested method of gaining new business, new customers and new contracts.”

The site is made up of almost 130,000 pages of local interest and information, has over 6,000 businesses listed and a staggering 1,900 forum members.

Pauline, added: “We recognise that budgets are tight and we have adjusted our advertising rates to help local businesses. Advertising on Rochdale Online is quick, easy and very cost effective.

“There are no contracts to tie you down and we can tell you how many visitors have looked at your advert and clicked through to your website.”

She concluded: “If you are not advertising with Rochdale Online you are missing out!”
