GerritsenBeach.net had a great year we saw a 211% jump in visitors from 50,418 in 2007 to 156,974 in 2008. We hope this number continues to grow.
Something to look forward to in 2009 we are launching a new community blog to represent Marine Park. With the same goals as GerritseBeach.net to be an objective news site and to provide resident with solid news and commentary on matters that are important.
Also, this coming year we will be launching local ads for local businesses to target brookyn residents. If you or your business would want an AD on this site please email info@gerritsenbeach.net otherwise wait for the official announcement.
There was also some very popular stories in 2008Â so I made up a small list:
