Last week OC180NEWS, West Orange County’s local daily online news source, experienced its highest traffic volume since beginning publication nearly two years ago. With more than 83,000 pages viewed in a single week, OC180NEWS’s exclusive and original West OC news reporting is experiencing record growth.

“We were thrilled to be cited as a news source by Ms. Magazine, a national news outlet, regarding our article about Disney and its dispute with an employee over dress requirements,” said OC180NEWS Publisher Dolores Barr. “Our goal is to provide hyper-local journalism of interest to residents of the West OC communities of Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, and Rossmoor. We also have been cited as a news source by the Orange County Register.”

Local readers of online news are taking note of the quality journalism published by OC180NEWS, and articles which can’t be found anywhere else.
“If you’re interested in finding out what’s going on anywhere in West Orange County, CA, you’ll want to check OC180NEWS.COM,” said Erik Dreyer-Goldman, Owner, ASK ERIK COMPUTER SERVICES, Seal Beach. “Dolores and Dave Barr personally get in the trenches and sit through numerous council meetings, attend community events as well as talk with residents, business owners, and community officials. It is a good place for those looking for information on issues, politics, events, celebrations, people and business. OC180NEWS is on my favorites list.”

In addition to visitors coming to OC180NEWS for its journalism, the site provides a unique business directory focused exclusively on West Orange County. Web site manager Briand Lathe reported directory views last week totaled 5,012, another record for the site.

Unlike some news outlets – both print and online – OC180NEWS is not secretive about its advertising prices. Advertisers can use OC180NEWS to get their message out to West Orange County communities for as little as $5.00. The site also offers three increasingly comprehensive advertising packages for $100/month, $200/month, and $300/month. Discounts are offered for 6 and 12 month runs.
