Directory records hits
A Peninsula network company claims to have recorded more than 100,000 hits on its online local business directory.
Peninsula resident and owner of the Qwert Network Mr Simon Younger said the company reached the milestone in just one month.
"The thing that we are excited about is that we only have about 2200 businesses on our directory, so it equates to a ratio of about 45 hits to every listing in one month," Mr Younger said.
Mr Younger said the Qwert Network has established an arrangement with Rotary Down Under allowing some of the advertising revenue to be distributed back to the local community.
"Thanks to Qwert and the local businesses that advertise through them, over $1500 has been donated back to local not-for-profit organisations and recently $500 was donated to St John's Ambulance Peninsula division to help continue with their community work," Rotary Down Under representative Mr Lex Laidlaw said.
