AGORACOM Touches Alexa Ranking Of 50,000, Amongst Top 0.23% Of Websites In The World

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:54 PM on Monday, April 16th, 2012

Alexa, an Amazon company, is the leading free provider of global web metrics. The company measures traffic on over 30,000,000 (million) websites from 125 countries around the world and ranks them in order of global ranking. Like golf, the lower your score the better.

I’m happy to announce that AGORACOM recently touched a ranking of 50,000 on April 12th. To truly make that number stick, you want to see that number show up in any of your 7-day / 1 month / 3 month ranking, where AGORACOM still comes in around 70,000 or in the top 0.23% of all websites on the planet. These climbing figures are in line with our Q1 traffic announced via e-mail last week and soon to be posted here for all to see.

In the meantime, here is a snapshot of our Alexa ranking.

We’re extremely happy with this accomplishment, which serves as further evidence that our “Investor Controlled” stock discussion format is a winning model. We want to thank all of our members and clients for helping make AGORACOM the leading online small-cap community! I promise all of you, the best is yet to come.

Regards,
George

AGORACOM Launches 8 Clients, Passes 13,500,000 Page Views In Q1

Posted by AGORACOM Admin at 7:49 AM on Thursday, April 5th, 2012

IN THIS EDITION

Q1 Traffic On Track To Far Surpass 2011
Work With AGORACOM, Keep Your Cash. “Cashless 144” IR Program
2011 Traffic Surpassed 5,000,000 (Million) Visits
STOP Issuing Press Releases After 8:30 AM EST

I would first like to welcome all of our new CEO’s and IRO’s added to our list since our last newsletter in early March.

We are very pleased to announce that AGORACOM continues to hit significant traffic milestones in the small-cap space. Earlier this year, we announced surpassing 750,000 visitors and 5,000,000 visits in 2011 (see below).

MILLIONS AND MILLIONS

Today, we’re happy to announce that we have surpassed 13,500,000 page views and 1,450,000 visits to our site for the first two months of 2012. At this pace, we are on track to far surpass our 2011 results, which ranked us amongst the top 0.3% of all websites on the planet.

As always, here is the official Google Analytics snapshot for the period

More impressive is the fact that our traffic figures do not include:

Our partnership traffic, nor our industry leading iPhone / iPad Small Cap App.

Our social media channels where we rank in the top 2.2% on Twitter and recently announced that our small-cap video views surpassed 400,000.

THE PROOF IS IN THE NUMBERS – 5 MILLION VISITS IN 2011

AGORACOM annual traffic surpasses all online IR sites combined, serving as unequivocal proof that our online IR model works. (See All Of Our Traffic Announcements). In 2011, AGORACOM surpassed 750,000 visitors and 5,000,000 (million) visits. These numbers are even more impressive when you consider the negative market sentiment over the last 6 months of 2011.

Here is the official Google Data for the full year 2011

I thank-you for reading and trust you found this information to be helpful. If you’re ready to step into real and sustainable online investor relations for 2012 and beyond, please contact me below.

AGORACOM Surpassed 9,000,000 page views; 950,000 visits in first two months of 2012

Posted by AGORACOM Admin at 9:52 AM on Friday, March 2nd, 2012

I would first like to welcome all of our new CEO’s and IRO’s added to our list since our last newsletter in early February.

Today, we’re happy to announce that we have surpassed 9,000,000 (million) page views and 950,000 visits to our site for the first two months of 2012. At this pace, we are on track to far surpass our 2011 results, which ranked us amongst the top 0.3% of all websites on the planet.

As always, here is the official Google Analytics snapshot for the period

As always, our traffic figures do not include:

Our partnership traffic to Blackberry or GlobeInvestor.com, nor our industry leading iPhone / iPad Small Cap App.
Our social media channels where we rank in the top 2.2% on Twitter and recently announced that our small-cap video views surpassed 400,000.

WHY TRAFFIC DATA IS IMPORTANT FOR ONLINE INVESTOR RELATIONS

We believe data is critical in a world where anyone that can open a simple Twitter or Facebook account is holding themselves out as an online IR “experts” a.k.a. pretenders that are simply looking to capitalize on a fad … to rob you of your time and money.

The web is a big place, we all know that. But if a provider doesn’t have both large and targeted traffic of small-cap investors, they may as well be yelling from the top of the CN Tower.

AGORACOM has the traffic.

AGORACOM Remains Largest Small-Cap Investor Relations Site In The World

Posted by AGORACOM Admin at 9:46 AM on Wednesday, February 8th, 2012

As is our custom at the end of every year, we are very pleased to provide you with milestone traffic data. Last month, our newsletter announced that we broke through 250,000,000 page views and 4,000,000 investors to our site since we began tracking traffic with Google, making AGORACOM the largest small-cap investor relations site in the world (see below).

Today, we’re happy to announce that AGORACOM surpassed 750,000 visitors and 5,000,000 visits in 2011. These numbers are even more impressive when you consider investor sentiment over the last 9 months of 2011, which had an impact on our page views as investors just had less good news to read.

As always, here is the official Google Analytics snapshot for the full year 2011

As always, the traffic does not include:

Our partnership traffic to Blackberry or GlobeInvestor.com, nor our industry leading iPhone / iPad Small Cap App.
Our social media channels where we rank in the top 2.2% on Twitter and recently announced that our small-cap video views surpassed 400,000.

SURPASSED 250 MILLION PAGES, 4 MILLION INVESTORS

For those of you that are new to our newsletter or didn’t get a chance to review last month’s figures, here is the official Google Analytics Snapshot surpassing 260,000,000 pages and 4,000,000 visitors.

WHY TRAFFIC DATA IS IMPORTANT FOR ONLINE INVESTOR RELATIONS

The web is a big place, we all know that. But if a provider doesn’t have both large and targeted traffic of small-cap investors, they may as well be yelling from the top of the CN Tower.

AGORACOM has the traffic.

FOR TSX COMPANIES – OUR MASSIVE ONLINE IR AND SOCIAL MEDIA PROGRAM

There is a lot we could say about our newly launched massive IR Social Media Network, which is now used by the likes of eBay, Alcoa, Dell and others … but we think this picture is worth 1,000 new investors.

AGORACOM Small-Cap Videos Break 400,000 Views, Dominate Search Engine Results

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:03 AM on Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Good morning to you all. I’m very proud to announce that views of AGORACOM videos have surpassed 400,000 since we first began broadcasting daily shows, client interviews and other great small-cap video content. This is great news for clients and the entire small-cap industry because it proves up yet another effective, efficient and low-cost way to communicate with current shareholders and potential investors. See my comments below on why connecting with shareholders via video is critical.

AGORACOM Videos are broadcast on more channels than we can count but here are just a few of them:

What is even more encouraging is the fact that video views are accelerating for the following reasons:

We’ve added on more shows. We’ve grown from AGORACOM Small Cap TV to AGORACOM Small Cap Gold and Resources TV and Chinese Small Cap TV
Each show has become it’s own stand alone channel on sites such as YouTube, BlipTV, Yahoo Video and other sites.
We’ve made our daily shows timely and relevant by releasing them between 9:30 – 9:45 AM EST every morning right after the open. This consistency creates the kind of reliability investors like.
Our daily videos provide great value to small-cap investors. How? We filter the hundreds of small-cap press releases issued every morning and report on the best 1-5 of the day.
We’ve integrated all the videos into our social media streams on Twitter, Facebook, StockTwits and other avenues
We’ve made our videos extremely search engine friendly by adding accurate descriptions and customized info for every show.

DOMINATING SEARCH FOR “SMALL CAP VIDEOS”

As a result of our hard and meticulous work, search engines are starting to reward us for our efforts, which only leads to more exposure amongst small-cap investors. For example:

Google Video – We hold all top 10 spots for searches of “small-cap resource stocks“
YouTube – We dominate the entire first page for searches of “Chinese small cap stocks“
Google Video – We hold 8 of the top 10 spots for searches of “small-cap“
Google Video – We hold 9 of the top 10 spots for searches of “small-cap gold stocks“
YouTube – We hold 9 of the top 10 spots for searches of “small-cap resource stocks“

INCORPORATING SKYPE INTERVIEWS WITH SMALL-CAP CEO’S

We are so focused on the importance and relevance of video to the small-cap industry, that we’ve recently begun incorporating Skype Video interviews into our programming. Again, the premise is to get small-cap companies and investors connecting with each other immediately after the release of material news. Expect to see this grow significantly in 2011.

WHY IS VIDEO SO IMPORTANT TO SMALL-CAP COMPANIES?

One of the greatest problems faced by small-cap companies, even the really good ones, is the lack of connection with investors beyond issuing press releases. As a result, investors have no loyalty to you if business simmers down for a while because they’ve been trained to only react to good news. As we all know, that simply isn’t possible for most small-cap companies. All of you go through slow and dry periods for various reasons. Even when business is going well, you often have to wait on the next big sales contract, drill result, etc. God help you if the wait is longer than expected.

As such, connecting with investors creates a personal relationship that buys you the time to execute your plan. Video is an excellent connector because it allows you to communicate as openly as possible without actually standing in front of shareholders. Investors love video because watching facial expressions and body language is the next best thing to strapping you into a lie detector. It also makes shareholders far more likely to share what you have to say because video beats boring text.

If you’re a small-cap company and don’t have an online video strategy yet, I suggest you start thinking about one. Alternatively, call us and we’ll take care of it.

Regards,
George

AGORACOM Surpasses 500,000 Visitors YTD 2011 … And Counting

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:32 AM on Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

As you all know very well by now, I love to share data pertaining to our accomplishments. Why? Talk is cheap and data is the only way to differentiate who is actually getting the job done in the world of online investor relations.

Despite what all the “Johnny Come Lately IR Experts“ have been telling you as of late, AGORACOM has been proving to small-cap CEO’s for years that online investor relations is the key to attracting the widest possible audience of investors.

ONLINE INVESTOR RELATIONS PLATFORM IS BEST FOR SMALL-CAP INVESTOR RELATIONS

Moreover, we’ve been pounding the table on the fact that a unified small-cap investor relations platform such as AGORACOM is a cheaper, faster and easier way to achieve that goal. We simply don’t agree that solo social media efforts are sufficient because individual small-cap companies simply don’t push out enough content and information to attract a meaningful audience and presence.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING – 503,420 INVESTORS IN 2011 … AND COUNTING

Here is the irrefutable visitor data (independently tracked by Google Analytics), as well as, the list of Top 10 countries … and here is how you contact us to discuss your online investor relations needs.

To put this success into further perspective, this traffic does not include data from our social media sites (Twitter, YouTube and Facebook) which are enjoying their own success per our January 5, 2011 post. Look for an update on these in the coming week.

Regards,

George Tsiolis, Founder

44% Of AGORACOM Stories Clicked By Investors Outside Canada

Posted by AGORACOM at 7:48 AM on Friday, April 1st, 2011

Keeping with my tradition of sharing great data with our audience, clients, prospects and industry, I’m happy to share some “click data” with you pertaining to stories published by AGORACOM. I find this information to be helpful because it provides specific insight into the engagement of international and local readers on AGORACOM, especially with respect to international visitors. Are they just visiting? Or are they actually engaging?

From the looks of things, I can declare they are actually engaging and that’s a great thing for everybody. For Canadian companies, it means they are getting healthy exposure to international audiences that are otherwise difficult to reach. For US companies, it means healthy exposure to Canadian investors that can and do purchase US stocks at will.

Please see the graph and table below for details, pertaining to:

Number Of Countries
Click % By Country
Top 25 Countries By Clicks

The data was sampled over the entire month of March and is consistent with what we’ve seen over the past couple of months.

For the tech geeks out there, we use bit.ly to track a small but ample sample of stories / posts / tweets that we publish.
