      “We are delighted to have won this award, especially as it comes from our peers in Irish media. The site’s strength has always been its ability to deliver quality content daily about the major construction sectors. It is already one of the stickiest sits in the industry – with visitors staying an average of 12 minutes per visit. We will have generated over 400,000 page impressions in the last 12 months,” says Michael Hayes, Editor.” about http://www.irishconstruction.com

      the range of sponsors they have makes me very jealous but their traffic figures makes me laugh…. we usually have around 200,000+ pages per month and had 300k for november…. but can i find a sponsor….. no

      Maybe the site is just too specialised……. I wouldn’t consider it a downfall though……..there are too many sites out there trying to cover everything

      ever think about bringing some of the content off-line i.e. via book or magazine and having the publisher sponsor the site?

      or organize a big one off event alá zeriously to round up interested parties. Put a couple of lookers on a stand and sign up for sponsorship leads. i’ve seem so many shite sites not fit to lick the boot attracting sponsors like that.

      Lack of Sponsors – Maybe its because we spend our time grumbling instead of buying things! But well done Paul! Its an excellent and much needed site. I’d be interested to know how much effect it has on ‘powers that be’

      Peter, you can pay for my subscription too! There is a very big difference in culture, audience, interaction, and attitude between free and pay. Gently, gently.
