Welcome to the FCH Quarterly Update! Q110 is already half way over and
traffic is increasing at a very good rate. Most members have experienced a
rise in page views and inventory inquiries, and we feel this is because
1) we've been rising steadily in search engine rankings,
2) several of our promotional initiatives have begun to pay dividends,
3) fastener business seems to be slowly picking up in general, and we hope
it continues!

1. More than Half a Million Line Items
===================================================================
As of January 27, 2010 there are more than 500,000 fastener inventory line
items listed in the FCH database. FCH is the largest database and search
engine of industrial fasteners in the industry and we thank you for being
an important part of it.
You have 24/7 access to your inventory, and we're always glad to run your
uploads through The Scrubber, so keep them coming because we're now
shooting for a million.

3. COMING THIS MONTH: FCH Fastener Forum
===================================================================
You will soon have your very own forum, linked right from FCH! We hope to
build a strong and helpful community of fastener industry professionals to
enhance your online experience with FCH, to connect you with others in the
business, and also to entertain you. We expect to launch the forum by
mid-March and we hope you'll become an active participant.
===================================================================
4. Complaint Department: STALE INVENTORY LISTINGS
===================================================================
There's something you can do to improve your success with FCH: Keep your
inventory up to date! During user surveys we've learned that the number
one problem is FCH members not having what's listed in the database. You
own your information and we make it easy to keep it current. PLEASE DO!
Number two complaint: No responses to user inquiries. Needless to say, we
would very much appreciate if you'd answer all user inquiries, even if it
is to politely decline. Make all of us look good! Note: No response is
required for SourceFinder RFQs.
===================================================================
5. Link From Your Website to FCH
===================================================================
Inbound web links, called URLs, are very important to improving rankings in
search engines such as Google. The more hits FCH receives, the more links
we'll be able to pass along to you. Add a link to FCH on your website
today and help keep us growing! Here is sample code your webmaster can add
to your website:
FastenersClearingHouse.com is the <a href="https://www.fastenersclearinghouse.com" target="_new">sourcing network for the fastener industry.</a>
Also, check out http://www.fchservices.com. See your website listed there?
This page is not visited by many actual people, but that's OK, it was set
up for the search engine spiders and they crawl it regularly.
We're doing what we can to help you!
