Inside LabourStart

The ad campaign on Facebook has given UnionBook the kind of exposure you can only pay for  … and we are paying for it.  In the last day and a half or so, since our ads went live, they’ve been shown over 300,000 times.  A small number of people have clicked through (87 so far) and we only pay for those.  One result of all this is that we’ve seen a significant increase in the number of new users of UnionBook.  We now have over 1,500 users of the site, 127 of whom joined in the last day and a half.

Today we switched the domain name so that http://www.unionbook.org points to the new site.  The old site can be found at http://www.unionbook.org.uk — but this is causing problems and people cannot access the old site.  We’ll try to have that fixed by the weekend.
