FresnoJobs Blog

6/24/2007:  It’s time for some updates.  It has been a while.  I am busy rebranding my company to reflect the business activities that I would like to create and pursue.  As of today, we are #1 on Google still, and on the first page of many search engines.  FresnoJobs.org continues to thrive and provides a valuable matching service to our community.  As for site statistics, we are almost reaching 5,000 visitors, with almost 15,000 page views a month.  Each visitor stays for app. 5 minutes looking for jobs available.

With these stats, we would like to invite your company to sponsor FresnoJobs.  Also, keep this website in mind if you are drafting your search engine marketing strategy.  We have a page rank of 4+ in Google and will continue our relevance because of what FJ offers.

Watch out for an exciting revamp of FJ in 4th Quarter, which will include revisions and upgrades on our user interface as well as the engine that’s running this site.

3/23/2007:  As for February 2007 site visitor statistics, we had 3,400 unique site visitors, and 11,500 page views. Last time I checked, for keywords “fresno jobs” we are still #1 in Google and MSN/Windows Live, and on top 10 in Yahoo!.

We have incoming links from the City of Fresno, Fresno Famous, Fresno Regional Job Initiative, Fresno Leading Young Professionals, and Community Workforce.

2/2/2007: Woohoo! I just finished my MBA from National University; which btw was taking a lot of my time. Now I can put the time in to improve the interface for FresnoJobs.org. For our users, please don’t be impatient. I promise better features on a better platform this coming months (+ an ad with the Fresno Chamber of Commerce for more employer participation).

Well, if you are bored, check out Ms. Dewey and her antics using Windows Live Search.

12/26/2006: It’s been a wonderful and humble year for this project. Major search engines have been ranking us quite well (our rank on Yahoo!, Google, and MSN have been consistently on top 5). Our link from the City of Fresno web site has boosted our traffic.

Overall, the site has done well. The second quarter of 2007 will be the official unveiling of this site, with new interface that is more user friendly to both job seekers and employers as well.

Happy New Year!

9/11/06: It is interesting to note the pattern of visitors that uses FresnoJobs. Does this mean that the pattern signifies interest in Fresno in general? Hmmmm… See the stats for the month of August:

Fresno Jobs dot org hits No. 4 in Google and still holds the top spot (#1 result) in MSN Search for keywords “fresno jobs”. As for Yahoo! search, we consistently rank in the Top 10. FresnoJobs’ visitors are coming from the the three major search engines, Fresno Famous, and Fresno RJI web sites.

5/10/06: It’s been almost three months since the last update. My MBA schooling and business operations + family are taking a hold of me. Anyway, we are now #2 in google for keyword “fresno jobs” (woohoo) and still #1 in MSN, but #10 with Yahoo! Adsense revenue is still staggering. We received ~$16.00 for April 2006. That for now will pay for the hosting fees.

At any rate, we are still looking for sponsors. I need a sponsor for printing postcards that will be mailed out to employers. I want everyone to know of this “FOREVER FREE” service. I know there’s craigslist, but there is also fresnojobs. :)

2/17/06: After relaunching last month, we now have approximately 50 registered employers who are (or who will be) using this site for job posting. Please feel free to refer other employers to register and post their job opportunities here.

2/14/06: Happy Valentines Day! The month is halfway over and we have only earned ~$6.00 so far from ad support. Please help this site pay its hosting fees by clicking on the ads (ad click-through is how we generate incremental revenue).

2/6/06: Woohoo! Were # 1 in MSN.com keyword search for “fresno jobs”. Now if MSN could just work on their market share… (8/2006 Update: MSN is attributed to 35% of FresnoJobs traffic; second to 55% from Google)
