Once again, the most popular
section (excluding the homepage and the news articles) was
the guestbook. The guestbook will now be replaced with a
Facebook fanpage. The Ghajnsielem F.C. website which is now
being re-designed also enjoys a high rate
of daily visitors.
Traffic by Countries
(during the last 12
months)
66.89% of the visitors were from Malta and Gozo
17.07% - United States
7.38%- Canada
5.47% - Australia
1.44% - United Kingdom
Why Facebook?
The Ghajnsielem.com
fanpage on Facebook will eventually replace the old
guestbook page as the new place where to analyze and discuss
the current affairs taking place in Ghajnsielem. Let us not
forget how busy our guestbook was to steer important
discussions about topics taking place in our village.
Unfortunately this was sometimes being abused by leaving
anonymous posts or hiding behind a nom de plume to post
defamatory messages.
Facebook
offers a a clean, secure, and stable environment. You can
now share your thoughts through messages, links, pictures,
videos etc. Ghajnsielem.com can also send important news
updates or event-reminders to all its fans.
Putting our village online
Ghajnsielem.com was launched in July 2002 in the form of a
simple website offering general information about
Ghajnsielem. Today, Ghajnsielem.com has proudly turned into
a web-portal or a one-stop site for everything associated
with our village. In fact, it is the only website in Malta
and Gozo that managed to keep all the organizations
represented together under “one roof”.
The website is backed by all the main organizations
including the Ghajnsielem Local Council, St Joseph Band
Club, Bethlehem f' Ghajnsielem, the Ghajnsielem Football Club and the Boy’s Museum.
Instead of visiting 5 or 6 separate websites to keep
up-to-date with what’s happening in your community (as is
the case in most towns and villages), ghajnsielem.com is the
only address you need to remember!
