There is yet another tweak to the site design to make it visually more appealing. The design has been kept simple by using neutral grey/white background colors with brighter accent colors in the banner and navigation menus. I also changed from using Google text ads to image ads to brighten up the site a little bit and to see if there will be a different advertising content.

Some interesting facts about the Saab brand has been added here: Did you know..

Full details with many images of the 9-4X have been added to Concept Car section: Link

The numbers are in and it was surprising to see the steady number of visitors since June 2007.

Unique visitors: 33,382 (steady average of about 4,500 per month
Total page views: 161,147

Top 15 domains from visitors (domain - # of visitors). Only about 50% of visits were traced back to their origin. The total list is much longer and shows visitors of 50 different countries. Amazing!

The most popular pages were the ones with the 2008 9-3 information and 2008 9-3 brochure scan. The Concept Cars and Press Releases are also areas and pages with many visits.

To summarize, these numbers are not huge by any means when compared to other popular websites but it is nice to see visitors are finding the site, stay to browse around and return for more.

New feature and pages added to show a quick and comprehensive overview of prices, options, colors and specs for these models:

2008 9-3
2008 9-5
2008 9-7X

I am testing Google Adsense on SaabMedia.net. I don't have plans to make a living of this website but perhaps it will cover the monthly hosting costs and purchase of new material in the future. The ads actually seem pretty effective and are often Saab related. They are not that obtrusive in the sidebar so I hope they will be of value to visitors.

All info and pictures about the MY08 9-3 is now online.
