GuitarToyBox is a well established website, with the site launched in April 2006. In January 2009, GuitarToyBox was relaunched with the intention of become the foremost online resource for guitarists regarding news, equipment and reviews.
TRAFFIC STATISTICS
In 2009, GuitarToyBox received, on average, over 5500 unique visitors per month to the site, with a page view count between 50,000 and 70,000 page views. Approximately 2/3rds of the traffic is derived from keyword hits from Google on a large variety of guitar releated keywords, and the remaining traffic is generated from social media sites, particularly StumbleUpon. There are currently over 100 RSS subscribers.
SITE GROWTH
Growth was in the vicinity of 20% per month until October 2009 when the site was placed into temporary hold. It is my belief that this growth can be surpassed with the new focus on the site's development taking place in 2010.
SITE GOALS
The short term goal for GuitarToyBox is to surpass 1000 daily unique visitors and have 1000 RSS subscribers by July 2010.
The mid term goal of the site is to commence video reviews/demonstrations of products supplied by either retail outlets or manufacturers.
The long term goal is to become an authority in the field and become a direct point of contact for manufacturers and marketers in the guitar related niche to advertise their products or seek reviews to and for the general public.
