Mission Statement - California Wineries Mall

There are two goals of the California Wineries Mall:

(1)	To list all of the wineries and wine producers in California with websites.
(2)	To increase Internet traffic world wide to those wineries, particularly to the very large group of small California wineries. Monthly we have traffic from 72 or more different countries.

How important is it to be listed on the Mall?
Annual average number of page requests on the Mall is currently 3.2 million +

If you want your winery to be found easily and quickly, it is very important. If you want more people to find you so they can visit your Tasting Room and winery, it is important. If you want to sell wine over the Internet, which is happening more frequently every day, then you need to be listed on the Mall.

Where does our traffic come from? After more than twelve years of being on the Internet, we have a tremendous amount of repeat and referral traffic, but more than 85% of all new traffic on the Internet is generated through the 10 - 15 major search engines and directories. Over the past twelve years, we have been able to obtain unmatched placements in both categories.

To verify this, just go to any one of the main search engines or directories and type in two words: california wineries. Listed below you will see our outstanding placements as of May 7, 2012. They do of course, change over time, but we have held these or similar positions for over ten years now. Google has the highest amount of traffic of any of the search engines or directories. The ranking of the listings shown below are the listings of the Mall whcih appear after the "paid" listings on each search engine.
