THE WEBSITE THAT BECAME
A SUCCESS IN JUST 100 DAYS

It took just 100 days for our re-imaged web portal to make its massive impact in the internet community. Our re-launch in May 2001 followed the successful ver 1.0 London Docklands website that was awarded Yell Top Ten Best Newcomer (for design, navigation and content).

Our progress since then has been phenomenal with page impressions soaring by hundreds every day and unique visitors' downloads growing from from 3MB a day to 35MB a day, which indicates the strength and quality of our useful property and visitor content.

London Docklands Online is ranked in the top ten results of almost every search engine and with some of them there are several of our pages listed simultaneously. Type in "London Docklands property" or "London real estate" or "London Docklands tourism" or simply "London Docklands" to see for yourself. Google, now the king of search engines ranks our web portal number one and number two for London Docklands Property and tourism and AOL ranks us one and two in the same categories.

REALS and other leading property portals rank us in their Top 50 Property sites and we are ranked in the Top Ten in the UK Best 50 ratings.

The world community network has linked to us, because, as it says: "London-docklands.co.uk now features on Find-our-community.net having been hand-picked by our team of dedicated researchers. Your site has been selected for the quality and breath of information the site provides for your area."

We can be found on the e-mep.com business community site for world SMEs, featured for our property location services and cross-linked with the official archives of the London Docklands Development Corporation and other UK Government websites.

Likewise, we were finalists in the Halifax Property Awards 2001 for the quality of our property coverage which has attracted thousands of property buyers and renters, many of whom have asked for our help to locate their dream homes or best return investment property.

Leading education sites like Internet Geographer rank us as a Four-Star source for all three Key Stages for National Curriculum studies - the only private sector website ranked among official Government sites. Every week 100s of colleges and universities around the world seek answers for their regeneration research by visiting London Docklands Online.

Our sister site Property in Spain is also a force in its sector of the market. It gained the two top awards for world real estate web sites in August 2002, less than six months from its launch.

This has been our view.
