Manufacturers Listing


There is a group of pages on the web site that's provides all manufacturers in an alphabetic listing, rather than by product function. Currently that section comprises 90 pages, and growing. Some of the pages are being reduce in size by half, once I find the individual page has grown to large in size. I'm manually checking links, so there is a reason to review the pages.

A few years ago all the listings appeared on 6 very large pages. Then they were reduced to each letter of the alphabet. Now one letter may span several pages. Smaller pages result in a faster down load.

So the 'I' section of companies was up-dated today:
Manufacturers starting with "Ia",
Manufacturers starting with "Il",
Manufacturers starting with "In",
Manufacturers starting with "Inn",
Manufacturers starting with "Int",
Manufacturers starting with "Intel",

This is an alphabetic company listing of most of the Electronic manufacturer sites listed on this web site. You can also search for a company by product function, using the links at the top right of the page. Or you can use the icons below to search by product function.
There are a few companies listed here which are not listed on any of the other pages. Also; any company site which has gone bad is listed here [with the original URL] with a new address or link if it's available. The old [obsolete] reference of a site is removed from all other pages of the site.
As a rule only OEM [Original Equipment Manufacturer] Electronic manufacturers are listed, while value added sites are not. This is a listing of companies in the US, in addition to American Manufacturers, European Manufacturers, and Asian Manufacturers are also included.

3/22/2010 Looks to be about 90 different pages that make up this section of the web site. None of them have a page ranking any longer, and it looks like about 18 of the pages will get 365 page views this year [one page view per day].

So it's a nice service I offer to people already on the site, but the pages bring in no visitors to the web site.

Of course I keep them up to date as required. I've also tried to add some additional text to some of the pages, but I haven't seen any improvement in visits. The bounce rate is pretty low for many of the pages which is good, so that means people are staying on the site. But page views is the most important metric.....

So, you can generate all the new pages you want but that does not mean anyone will ever visit the page or see your content ~ of course these page do lack any real text to help the search engines [SEO day one].
