Local search site and network Local.com announced record search and organic traffic for May 2008, as well as a significant sales force expansion. The Local.com site and Local Connect network received a total of over 16 million monthly unique visitors in May, up from a record total of 15 million in January, the company’s seasonally strongest month. Organic traffic also reached an all-time high, exceeding 6 million, or over 38% of the company’s total traffic for the month. This represents an increase of approximately half a million over February’s record 5.7 million.

The company also announced that it has doubled its outsourced sales force, which now exceeds one hundred personnel. The expanded sales force is selling the company’s Local Promote subscription advertising product.

Good move. Otherwise, the record traffic would be nothing but if not turned into revenue.
