WHAT IS BruDirect.COM OR BruneiDirect.COM?

Yes, www.brudirect.com or www.bruneidirect.com is Brunei’s pioneer business and news information tool on the World Wide Web. It is an independent Internet web site designed to collate all news and business information on Brunei into a single Internet site instantly for easy access for the busy executive like yourself as well as for the man-in-the street.

It will be an added benefit for your customers who would be delighted to know all about your wide-ranging services that you are offering when you are featured in Brudirect.

Our web site will also serve as an advance-marketing tool because Brunei's numerous overseas students are increasingly logging on to www.brudirect.com, or BruneiDirect.com, as it is their best source of speedy news from home.

Customer awareness could thus be built up even before these students return home. Our daily news is updated at least twice a day to give information on the latest events in Brunei and therefore we are continuously gaining an ever-wider audience.

We also feature Brunei Association of Banks rates immediately as they are announced. And there are a host of other updates on weather, movies, TV, tides, shipping and airline schedules, on our site and what is more we are constantly adding on any data considered useful for those who visit our site.

To put it concisely, www.brudirect.com is a living site and it will continue to grow to benefit not only the business community in Brunei but also everyone in the country in bringing instant information, which is a major force in the world today.

We would, therefore, be very pleased to welcome you as a participant to help to develop your business by using this modern tool.

Brudirect.com began as a one-man show back in April 1999. Since then it has become one of sultanate’s success stories.

It now employs 12 staff and the number is growing as more features are added on to this ever-evolving Internet news site.

From beginning of 2003 we began to operate on a 24-hour basis aimed to provide even better service to our viewers and supporters.

When we began in 1999 there were, needless to say, hardly any viewers. But as things developed and as the site kept going relentlessly on a day in and day out basis it was crowned with eventual success.

We soon become financially independent mainly because of the hard work and dedication of our staff and because of the support we have received from Brunei's captains of industry like yourself.

To date we average about 30,000 to 40,000 visits a day that would be close to 700,000 per month and we have emerged as Brunei's No 1 news website.

Future is bright for sites like Brudirect.com because we are in the midst of a revolution that values instant communication.

We must thank you for the valuable support we have received and we pledge we will not let you down in providing instant, accurate and up-to-date information to the best of our ability.

What is the difference between "hits" and "page views"?

Every graphical image on a web page counts as a hit. Hits can be used to measure traffic activity on a website but it is not the most reliable measurement. For example, one page with 10 images will register 11 hits when viewed, while a page with no graphics will only register one hit.
