(PRWEB) November 14, 2005 -- Eric Brown the founder of the “African American Art On-Line Store” located at, www.brownhorizonsart.com , which is widely considered one of the most popular African American art websites on the internet today recently discussed the preparations being made for this holiday season regarding his recently created African American shopping portal titled “African American Shopping Today” located at www.brownhorizonsshopping.com .

Mr. Brown provided these comments recently concerning his shopping portal -- African American Shopping Today.

“The African American Shopping Today website has been doing very well since its initial launch in February of this year. The website has increased its website traffic and page views every month it has been in operation this year by using a combination of online advertising and word of mouth discussion by website visitors.

I am prepared for a very busy holiday shopping season at the website as a result of the constant flow of traffic from our current website visitors and the additional visitors who are learning about the website everyday through the various methods of advertising that are being conducted for the website.

This is the first year in recent memory that an African American shopping portal has been available to African Americans doing the holiday season. This is important because currently most African Americans go to search engines such as Goggle to try to find African American websites that sell the merchandise they are looking to purchase online.

However, when African Americans go to search engines, many still find it difficult to locate African American websites because the majority of the websites do not show up on the first page of search results and many are not listed in the PPC (pay per click) listings.

Moreover, since the majority of African American website owners do not advertise on major websites using banner ads, text links and/or other methods of advertising; this makes locating African American websites for online purchases very time consuming and frustrating for thousands of African Americans - especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday shopping season.

I feel that the African American Shopping Today website, which will be very visible via various methods of advertising this holiday season, will help solve a major problem that has been affecting the online African American community for many years.

The problem is the current lack of a niche market African American shopping portal that African Americans can easily find and visit on the Internet that provides access to a large number of African American related websites. A shopping portal that can fill this niche will benefit the entire online African American community from a consumer and business standpoint”.
