Happy Birthday to Us!

Over this past weekend, HeatingOil.com reached an important milestone…our first birthday.
Way back in July 2009 when we first launched the site, we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to accomplish. We wanted to fill in what we perceived to be a massive information gap about this vital fuel and industry. And somehow we hoped we could make a dollar doing it. We were pretty sure we could handle the first part but the making a dollar part was a very open question. Thankfully, after a lot of hard work, experimentation, testing and about 5,000 WebEx presentations to heating oil dealers, we’re well on our way.
HeatingOil.com now counts over 200 heating oil suppliers among its customers and signs up more every day. We are also the most heavily trafficked site in the heating oil industry, with tens of thousands of unique visitors and hundreds of thousands of page views per month. In addition to providing news and information, we also help thousands of heating oil consumers identify the best heating oil suppliers in their area. We really didn’t expect all this to happen a year ago, and we’re very grateful to everyone that has helped us get this far.
In the current state of the world, just being in business a year later is a major accomplishment. We owe that to the incredibly high quality of work from our inveterate staff of writers, video production pros, administrative and sales staff, and our passionate and brilliant consultants that have made HeatingOil.com the most visited and important website in the heating oil industry.
Hopefully we’ll have as much good news to share on our second birthday—and we’ll work hard to make sure we do. Thanks for reading and stay tuned.
