About ShopInBerkeley

After eight years of operating ShopInBerkeley with great "traffic" success, but not much financial success, I'm considering closing the web site. I have always depended on viewers of the site for their contributions to keep the site up to date, and therefore am looking for your thoughts on closing the site. Please take a moment to complete the poll below:

Should ShopInBerkeley fold?
Yes, there are enough good alternatives these days.
No. Nothing else is quite the same.
Undecided.
  

Thanks for your input,

ShopInBerkeley believes that by providing low cost and free web sites to local businesses, we help shoppers find local places to purchase goods. In doing so, we help our local economy, decrease the need to travel to "the mall," and build our community spirit.

Online since July 2000, ShopInBerkeley continues to grow in both web page numbers and visitor traffic. We currently have over 800 business pages, and in November 2007 our business pages received over 100,000 hits, our directory pages received an additional 34,000 hits. Our top business pages receive over 2,000 hits per month.

Our "specialties" include bookstores, bike shops, and restaurants (including over 200 links to restaurants both on our site and elsewhere). Select a link from the left menu bar and start surfing! If you don't find your favorite business, let them know about us and suggest they sign up. Or sign up for them! Give us as much information about the business as you can, and we'll cofirm with them and fill in any missing information.

Businesses may sign up for a free page that includes location, hours, phone, and web link (for those who already have a web site). Web pages that include additional formatted text describing the business begins at $25/year.
