Eventdomain gets huge influx of account members now using the website.  They signed up over a 3 year period – so about 500 per year which is great news, and further proves the popularity of niche websites.

ED now looks forward to a very successful future, but realises it cannot remain relaxed as more work is needed.   A positive is that ED now gets an extra 20′000 visitors per year, and feel we can reach 200k by 2015.

Eventdomain reports increased traffic for the 2011/2012 period.    Our traffic went from 110′298 to 132′317   in that year.

Like we keep saying, our sites just keep getting stronger all the time.   January 2013 figures show 6000 + visitors for that month and we’ll easily break the 7′500 mark for Jan…..   On a side note, we are considering a 3rd huge portal –  and we WILL deliver on the fantastic services we are known for.

Keep checking back for more on our plans.

The highly popular website Eventdomain is pleased  that on average 26.7%  of visitors spend at least 1 full hour plus
every month searching its database – without fail.

In many cases they spend upto 5 hours at a time requesting its pages of event suppliers and party planners.

The biggest niche search engine in the world – Venuedomain, has 162′716 venues to search for!    Why not spread the word about venuedomain and never struggle to find venues again.

Our aim is to make venue finding easier, so it saves you time.

Eventdomain  has been granted a Seal of Excellence Award by top internet marketing site – Majon International .    The award recognises ‘Overall Excellence’  by an internet-based service.    This is great news and we are happy to accept.

Business Awards 2012 logo

Popular Event website Eventdomain reaches a milestone.  The company has just made its 5th Final at a business awards event and can now turn its attention to future glory.  The event was held at the Broadway Theatre, Essex and hosted by TV Presenter Ray Stubbs.

The event, although local, has a fine history and is not easy to win nor end up shortlisted as a Finalist, so we are naturally proud at making our 2nd Final at this particular event.   The event was very professional, and its standing was justified by a big-name celebrity and major sponsers such as:  BusinessEast, Barking & Dagenham College and Lloyds TSB.

Since we founded way back in 2005, Eventdomain had success that few online directories can dream about.

Here is a tiny fraction of the business sites who chose to  advertise:

Academy Events, B-i-Marketing,  Pink Lily Events,  Cleaning Logistics,  Ashford Tyrrell,  Vectisvibe,  Tableart.co.uk,  Indulgent Events,  Abbey Catering Equipment,  Izabelle Ltd,  Bag-it,  Lookingforideas.co.uk,  Shamrockconsultancyservices.com,  NewMobilePhoneDeals,  Dancing in the Dark Disco ,  Select Services,  Elegance On Ice,  Rochester Queen,  Pair Pair,  Unique Translation Services,  Bored of the high st,  Cyberthink Ltd,  Perry Online,  MarketingDataLtd,  Incom-business-systems,  ccdl.net

The above is a tiny slice out of the 10′000 plus event suppliers that benefit from Eventdomain.   ED went onto some fame in the national media such as The Daily Mirror and Yahoo News,  something few businesses ever get to experience, never mind a directory!

we then went onto appear at top business award competitions being awarded no less than 4 Final spots including a National Finalist placing at the Virtual Business Awards –  Sponsored by People Per Hour.com.    We scooped our first online award  here:

2010 also saw the launch of our 2nd search engine – www.venuedomain.com  rounding off a pretty successful year in 2010….

2011 was about Venuedomain and was all systems go, and we pretty much achieved everything that we set out to do, as Venuedomain gets local news coverage in the Ilford Recorder and indexes 500′000 pages of venue/venue related information.

Eventdomain has  got a partnership with LateRooms, although some think we’ve made it all up – SO, here is the very email as evidence.

Hi Chris

I see you are part of our partner programme, thank you for this!

This is just a quick email to say welcome on board and moving forward if you need anything please do not hesitate to ask myself directly.

Just one question if I may, I know you have listed us on the bottom left hand side for “New companies” etc, do you plan to integrate us with your hotels section as well?

Thanks Chris

Eventdomain.co.uk has added an ‘enquiries sender’ functionality to its website.    Its basically a form attached to every client account, where searchers can send actual enquiries straight to advertisers inboxes.

Although not a new thing for the web, Eventdomain thought it would be a good upgrade for clients, so visitors can contact them directly, as well as being able to visit websites and phone through enquiries.

The popular events website Eventdomain, has been featured on Yahoo News.

We had no idea of our news presence, no idea apart from our local media coverage that is, so this is fantastic news for us – and thank you Yahoo, we appreciate it.
