First - It is likely that more than 500,000 prospective fence customers go online each month for product information, company research, and to purchase material from online retailers. Online retailers represent the bulk of the traffic. This is a direct result of the paid advertising they do with google, yahoo, and msn to secure product ads on search engines.
Second - Many of these companies did not exist 1 or 2 years ago - this tells us that online retailing in the fence industry is still growing and new capital is coming in to create some of these companies.
Third - These online retailers are typically competing with Home Depot and Lowe's - meaning that they are pushing inferior product in most cases and often selling products with specs that most of us would refuse to install ....see one of the Fence Wizard's past articles on the subject -click here.

What about CertainTeed - They are a huge name in Fence and Deck!
ReplyDeleteManny Schilling
New England Fence and Deck
Manny,
ReplyDeleteCertainTeed is indeed a huge name in fence and deck but they also do roofing, siding, windows, and a bunch of other stuff. If we posted them in with the fence only companies they would be #1. There is no method to count the hits to the fence only portion of their website.
Certainteed.com picks up over 73,000 unique visitors per month.
How do you come up with these stats?
ReplyDeleteIs there a list somewhere?
George,
ReplyDeleteThat is a closely held secret - there is no list anywhere else of Fence Industry Websites. This is the first and only. Hope it is helpful for anyone looking to understand the industry and its online presence.
Dear Fence Wizard,
ReplyDeleteI am curious, in your 12/11 blog posting, you claim to have been
"counting web hits in cyberspace for some time in order to complete the
first known Fence Industry traffic list." Where did you get this data
and how to we know it's valid? Most companies closely guard this type of
information and are unlikely to volunteer it.
Thanks,
Mel
Mel,
ReplyDeleteCompanies can guard their data all that they want, there are several webtracking sites that count unique hits and rank sites whether they like it or not. I am paid member to several of them but still had to compile and test my own list of more 300 companies to develop the wizard 50 which I have actually allowed to swell to almost 60 as oversights have been found and added.
Alexa.com and compete.com
are two of the free resources for this.
Thanks for your question,
The Fence Wizard

ReplyDeleteThey have a champifence.com listed for what they consider the best local web page???? It has a 0 page rank, no links, hidden text at the bottom, gets hardly any visitors??? I just don't get it. And what are you guys talking about..."a closely held secret"??? Just go to quantcast or a million other sites like that. Firstfence.com
ReplyDeleteWe are excited to see Productionfenceworks.com up there next year. They have a new site and are already getting over 2000 page views per day! Keep an eye on them!
ReplyDeleteYou forgot FenceTown which would easily be in the Top 15 fence sites on the Web.
ReplyDeletewww.FenceTown.com
Many of these I notice are suppliers, however, do you think it is possible for a Fence Company in Michigan to ever become one of the top 50 visited fence company websites?
ReplyDeleteWhat about www.Fences4less.com - they have tons of traffic and rank in the top 5 Search Engine Results pages ... major player you missed.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the awesome list of links. I am looking to install some wholesale vinyl fencing so my dog, Rufus, can run around the yard without escaping. He's pretty good at getting under the chain link I have now, and I heard vinyl would be better because then he can't see outside the yard so he isn't tempted to leave.

ReplyDeleteThanks for this. I'm trying to find someone who does fences and driveway gates in Vancouver. My fences and gate look like a tornado almost ripped them out of the ground.
ReplyDeleteMy friend told me about a really good company that does chainlink fences and more in Chicago, IL. They do both commercial and residential fences.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was such competition between fencing companies online. I wonder where this data was collected from in order to decide which fencing companies were the most popular. I don't see a several fencing companies that I am most familiar with.
ReplyDeleteRon Johnson | J.C. Fence Co.
