Good morning to you all. As many of you know, AGORACOM has been an exclusive provider of small-cap content to AOL Finance Canada since 2003. However, until recently, we’ve only resided behind the “AOL Wall” serving AOL paying members.
Now that AOL has taken down the wall and moved to its free model, our content is fully available to all AOL members and AOL has seen it fit to reward us with front page placement.
This is great news for AGORACOM but even better news for both our clients and the entire small-cap industry. Our clients will have the benefit of reaching a far larger audience when they release important news, while the entire small-cap space benefits from significantly greater visibility.
I have to add that I’m impressed with the Web 2.0 direction in which AOL Finance is moving, a dramatic improvement over their previous offering.
The re-design is paying off in a big way. In the U.S., AOL Finance has now surpassed both Yahoo and MSN in terms of both unique visitors and page views. The Canadian side hasn’t implemented all of the new tools from the U.S. side but it should only be a matter of time.
In the meantime, if Marty Moe is reading this, we’re ready to become a small-cap partner on the U.S. side when you are!
Regards,
George
