873,000 Investors, 50 Million Page Views On AGORACOM Year To Date

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:02 AM on Friday, November 19th, 2010

Good evening to you all. As most of you know, I like to share AGORACOM traffic data on a regular basis and today is no exception.  I was a little distracted for the quarter ended September 30th and with things getting back to normal around here, it was a good time to report on our traffic.

I’m pleased to report that the number of visitors (873,000) visits (5,820,000) and page views (50,000,000) to AGORACOM remain very strong despite a couple of extraordinary matters this year compared to last year, which I will discuss further below.

Please find enclosed a Google Analytics shot of our traffic year to date (January 1, 2010 – Nov 17, 2010)

The continued strength in our traffic can be attributed to the following reasons.

1. Social Media

We have really turned on our social media efforts in 2010, which have resulted in:

SOCIAL MEDIA IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT TRAFFIC

Furthermore, we’ve worked hard at cross-promoting our social media channels AND providing a variety of content on each. If you’re a small-cap company that is simply creating Twitter and Facebook accounts to post press releases, you are simply wasting your time (Beware Of ….  The Rise Of Social Media IR “Experts” a.k.a Pretenders)

Cross-promote and differentiate so that investors have options to consume what is most important to them.  If you can’t do this internally, call me.

2. Cross-Promoting Great Content

We recently introduced a “News Flash” feature that allows us to provide investors in every corner of AGORACOM with breaking/important news as it happens (both small-cap specific or macro-market related). As a result, investors that may be focused on a particular HUB or group of HUBS on AGORACOM no longer feel as if they are missing important news.

Click-through analysis shows these are a big hit with AGORACOM visitors and a good reason to both keep returning to the site and consuming our content.

3. Great Platform

Small-Cap Investors continue to flock to AGORACOM thanks to what we believe is the best small-cap community platform on the web. By providing Wiki and UGC tools to our members, we’ve put significant control into their hands and that has benefited the entire community. From adding/editing/updating content, to self-policing their own HUBS, members have created a small-cap community that is more informative and cleaner than any other small-cap site on the web. It isn’t perfect – but it is as close to perfect as you can get using today’s technology.

DECREASE IN PAGE VIEWS

On the flip side, we have seen a decrease in page views over the same period last year that can probably be attributed to two items. First, one of our busier HUBS was Freewest Resources which was acquired by Cliff’s Natural Resources in Q4 2009 after a long and bitter battle with Noront Resources, which also happens to be a very busy HUB on AGORACOM.  As such, with Freewest being taken over, we haven’t had the benefit of page views for one of the prominent players within the Ring Of Fire, nor have we had the benefit of the debate between two very busy HUBS.

Second, as a result of our OSC matter, several of our high-profile client HUBS have been put on hold, leading to page view losses there as well.

Nonetheless, 873,000 visitors and 50,000,000 page views is pretty good for a slow year.

CONCLUSION

Going forward, we’ll be adding further fuel to the fire via the following exciting initiatives:

* Our upcoming mobile push in November, including the launch of our iPhone App and of course our Blackberry partnership

* An expanded content push (Holding our cards close to our chest)

* A greater social media push (Look for Facebook and Twitter integration announcements)

Thanks to our great clients and members for continuing to make AGORACOM the best community platform within the small-cap industry.

Regards,
George

AGORACOM Settles With OSC On Contrary To The Public Interest

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:32 PM on Friday, November 12th, 2010

Good afternoon to you all.  I am pleased to announce that we have reached a settlement with the Ontario Securities Commission on the basis of acting “contrary to the public interest”.

It is an understatement to say that we are all happy to have fairly settled this matter.  We have worked very hard and take great pride in the fact that AGORACOM has become the leading online platform for small-cap companies and investors, so we are more motivated than ever to get back to the business of delivering an industry leading platform for years to come.

LESSONS LEARNED

Our organization has learned some hard yet very important lessons through this matter.  Specifically, the need for strict written policies is absolute in order to avoid potential problems and conflicts.  I assure you that we are well into that process on multiple facets of our operations and that we will continue to operate within a different policy culture.

More than just lip service, for example, AGORACOM has implemented a public facing IP address check that displays any multiple aliases posting from the same IP address on our website.  Furthermore, as part of our settlement with the OSC to avoid any potential future conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to serve as officers or directors of any of our clients.

It’s also an expensive lesson. We have agreed to pay $150,000 in costs and monetary payment over the next 18 months. That’s fair given the resources expended by OSC staff, whom I would also like to thank for working with us towards this fair settlement.

With respect to recent revelations concerning our private messaging system, I want to assure our members that stricter controls and policies have been implemented to protect your privacy.  Specifically, even in the case of a violation being reported within the messaging system, no private message of a member can be viewed without your prior written consent, with the exception of a court order.

An official press release with more complete details will be issued within 24 hours of the settlement.

ONWARD AND UPWARD

With this matter firmly behind us, we are anxious to move forward with upgrades to AGORACOM that we have been holding back on.  For example, over the next few days we will be:

  • Launching our iPhone App
  • Announcing our Facebook integration
  • Launching a front-page blog for the best AGORACOM members.

Our upgrades won’t end there, so keep a look out for news pertaining to another online conference, CEO Skype interviews and further cutting edge developments that you have come to know us for.

THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT

AGORACOM would like to thank the following for their unwavering support over the last 7 months:

  • Consolidated Spire Ventures, Northern Tiger Resources, and Razor Resources
  • The numerous CEO’s and industry participants that took the time to call, e-mail, Skype or pull us  aside at industry conferences to show their support
  • Our amazing members for their unconditional support and great words of encouragement
  • Our great employees for believing in our vision and vowing to make it even stronger
  • Our friends and family for never losing faith and reminding us of who we are
  • Jim Douglas, Tyler Hodgson and their team at Borden Ladner Gervais for their outstanding work and support during the settlement phase.
  • Dominic Bortolussi and his team at The Working Group for their great web and iPhone development/ideas these past few months.

I want to personally thank everyone above for their great support over the last 7 months.  We asked for the benefit of the doubt in our April 1 Public Response when more severe allegations were announced – and you provided it.   I am eternally grateful for your courage and faith.

The fact that this experience was at times a difficult one does not overshadow the fact that it was also a great one. You have truly served to reaffirm both the value and purpose of AGORACOM as a place that amalgamates great people and great ideas, leading to great decisions.  I look forward to delivering this ideal to the small-cap industry for years to come.

To this end, I want to apologize to everyone in this group for everything that has taken place over the last 8 months.  Things happened on my watch, so I take full responsibility for them.  They will not happen again.  I will personally see to it that AGORACOM is worthy of the contributions you have made to our success by emerging as a stronger and better organization for years to come.

Mobile Devices Drive 16,000 Small-Cap Visits To AGORACOM In August

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:38 PM on Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Good afternoon to you all.  From the “I love traffic data” department, I’m happy to provide you with mobile data traffic to AGORACOM for the month of August.  Here is a snapshot of the overall data, followed by my comments:

USAGE HIGHLIGHTS:

  • All comparisons above are to January 2010 – and man is mobile skyrocketing
  • Given the fact August is an even slower month than December for investor traffic, I am pleasantly surprised to see that we received 16,000 visits from mobile devices this month.  That is a 45% increase vs. January of 2010.
  • Mobile devices accounted for just over 3% of all visits to AGORACOM in August.
  • 6.12 pages per visit – an increase of 40.15%tells me that investors have moved beyond basic skimming from their mobile devices and are relying on them as much as their PC’s and laptops.  The entire site average for August was 9.68 pages per visit.
  • Likewise, average time on the site jumped 39.5% to 6mins 33secs.  When you consider the site average for August was 8:22, you have even more evidence that mobile investor access is no longer for hit an run purposes

DEVICE HIGHLIGHTS:

This one is a real shocker.  Despite Apple’s popularity, I would not have expected small-cap investor access via iPhones, iPods and iPads  to surpass that of business intensive Blackberry users. This should be doubly true when you consider the fact we have a significant content partnership with Blackberry.  Apple didn’t surpass, it destroyed Blackberry.

Moreover, I fully expected Android usage (phones carrying the operating system created by Google) to be a distant 3rd this early in the game.  Think again.

Here are the numbers:

  • 1st – Apple accounted for 75% of all mobile visits to AGORACOM in August, broken down as follows:
    • iPhone 8,521;
    • iPad 2,293;
    • iPod 1,500
  • 2nd – Android 14.5%
  • 3rd – Blackberry 6.1%

CONCLUSIONS

I can only conclude from the above noted data that

1.  Our iPhone app launch on September 15th is a well timed step in the right direction.

2.  Even though Blackberry users as a group tend to be a significantly larger proportion of business/market people, Apple users appear to be a significantly larger proportion of retail investors that prefer to access online financial communities such as AGORACOM.

3.  Android – as expected – will be a force to be reckoned with.  Time to find an Android app developer!

Regards,
George

AGORACOM Traffic – Visits and Visitors Continue To Climb In H1 2010

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:16 PM on Friday, August 27th, 2010

Good morning to you all.  As most of you know, I like to share AGORACOM traffic data on a regular basis and today is no exception, especially given the fact we are in the dog days of summer.

Please find enclosed a Google Analytics shot of our traffic in H1 2010, compared to H12009 (Click on the image for a larger version):

I’m pleased to report that the number of visits (3,600,000) and visitors (547,000) to AGORACOM remain very strong.  The strength and YoY increases can be attributed to the following reasons.

1. Social Media

We have really turned on our social media efforts in 2010, which have resulted in:

Furthermore, we’ve worked hard at cross-promoting our social media channels AND providing different content on each.  If you’re a small-cap company that is simply creating accounts to post duplicate press releases across each, you are simply wasting your time.  Cross-promote and differentiate so that investors have options to consume what is most important to them.

2. Great Content

We recently introduced a “News Flash” feature that allows us to provide investors in every corner of AGORACOM with breaking/important news as it happens (both small-cap specific or macro-market related).  As a result, investors that may be focused on a particular HUB or group of HUBS on AGORACOM now feel as if they aren’t missing important news.  Click-through analysis shows these are a big hit with AGORACOM visitors and a good reason to both keep returning to the site and consuming our content.

3. Great Platform

Small-Cap Investors continue to flock to AGORACOM thanks to what we believe is the best small-cap community platform on the web.  By providing Wiki and UGC tools to our members, we’ve put significant control into their hands and that has benefited the entire community.  From adding/editing/updating content, to self-policing their own HUBS, members have created a small-cap community that is more informative and cleaner than any other small-cap site on the web.  It isn’t perfect – but it is as close to perfect as you can get using today’s technology.

What is perfect is the level of member satisfaction with AGORACOM.  We thank all of our members for fully embracing our platform and will continue to reward your efforts by improving on what we do.

DECREASE IN PAGE VIEWS

On the flip side, we did see an 8.46% decrease in page views that can probably be attributed to two items. First,  one of our busier HUBS was Freewest Resources which was acquired by Cliff’s Natural Resources in Q4 2009, so we haven’t had the benefit of page views for one of the prominent players within the Ring Of Fire.  Second, as a result of our OSC matter, several of our high-profile HUBS have been put on hold.

Nonetheless, we are extremely pleased at our ability to register gains on the visits and visitor front, while holding firm on the total page views.  This points to very positive prospects once the matter has passed.

CONCLUSION

Overall, the increases in visitors and visits are more important to both our clients and ecosystem as they will drive page views as more news develops within the small-cap industry. Going forward, we’ll be adding further fuel to the fire via the following exciting initiatives:

* Our upcoming mobile push in H2 (iPhone, Viigo and of course our Blackberry partnership)

* An expanded content push in H2  (Holding our cards close to our chest)

* A greater social media push (Look for Facebook and Twitter announcements in H2)

Thanks to our great clients and members for continuing to make AGORACOM the best community platform within the small-cap industry.

George

AGORACOM Traffic Sees Increased Visitors and Visits In Q1 2010

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:50 PM on Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Good afternoon to you all.  As most of you know, I like to share AGORACOM traffic data on a regular basis and today is no exception.  Please find enclosed a Google Analytics shot of our traffic in Q1 2010, compared to Q1 2009 (Click on the image for a larger version):

I’m pleased to report that the number of unique visitors and visits are up 9.12% and 13.13% respectively.  The increases are a result of our ongoing marketing efforts:

1.  Social Media  (Twitter, Facebook and YouTube where we have 3 channels going)

2.  New Online Products (1st ever AGORACOM Online Conference in December)

3.  Traditional Marketing Via Our BNN TV Ads.

On the flip side, we did see an 8.13% decrease in page views that can probably be attributed to two items.  First, March 2009 marked great financial panic as a result of dropping markets, which lead to increased page views from investors looking for answers.  Second, one of our busier HUBS was Freewest Resources which was acquired by Cliff’s Natural Resources in Q4 2009, so we haven’t had the benefit of page views for one of the prominent players within the Ring Of Fire.

CONCLUSION

Overall, the increases in visitors and visits are more important to both our clients and ecosystem as they will drive page views as more news develops within the small-cap industry.  Going forward, we’ll be adding further fuel to the fire via the following exciting initiatives:

  • Our upcoming mobile push in Q2 (iPhone, Viigo and of course our Blackberry partnership)
  • A greater social media push (Look for Facebook and Twitter announcements in Q2)
  • More traditional TV Ads south of the border

Thanks to our great clients and members for continuing to make AGORACOM a great platform for the small-cap industry.

Regards,
George

Important Update On Display Of IP Addresses In Posts

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:34 AM on Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Dear Members,

On April 16, we announced a plan to display partial IP addresses of all posts made on or after Monday April 26, 2010.  The measure was introduced in order to provide our community with greater transparency with respect to posts on AGORACOM.  As a result of this new measure, members would be able to view other members who may be using the same IP address with just one click – and report any suspicious activity via the AGORACOM violations system.

MEMBER FEEDBACK – WE’RE LISTENING

Though the announcement received a lot of praise from members, we also received feedback in the form of concerns that a display of even a partial IP addresses may lead to privacy issues pertaining to location and or geography. Though we were confident that any such issues were remote, we remain true to our philosophy of building and upgrading AGORACOM on the feedback of our members.

As such, we came up with a solution that maintains the privacy AGORACOM members have come to enjoy, while still achieving the goal of easily viewing members that may share the same IP address.

CHANGES TO IP ADDRESS TRACKING

Given the fact that the primary purpose of the measure is to provide members with an ability to view other members who may be using the same IP address, we have revised the measure as follows:

  1. We will not display any part of the IP address within posts. No partial IP. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
  2. We will still provide one-click access to view members that share the same IP address
  3. The upgrade will be implemented for all posts made on or after Wednesday, April 28, 2010.  It will not apply to posts made prior to April 28, 2010.

As a result of this new measure, members will still be able to view other members who may be using the exact same IP address with just one click – and report any suspicious activity via the AGORACOM violations system.  At the same time, members do not have to worry about any part of their specific IP address being displayed to the public.

HOW IT WORKS – PRIVACY INTACT

We want to repeat that no part of a member’s IP addresses will be displayed, so there will be no change to the privacy of our members.  Rather, within each post, all members will be able to read a button that says “IP Check”.  The IP address of that post is tracked within the AGORACOM back-end, as it has been over the last couple of years, and will simply match members that are sharing the same IP address.

HOW IT WORKS – TRANSPARENCY

Members that are suspicious of a particular member’s posting will be able to click on “IP Check”.  The AGORACOM system, which keeps track of the IP address in our back end, will automatically display any other members that share the same IP address.  A match does not necessarily mean a violation has occurred but it will allow members to quickly and easily compare the posts of members sharing an IP address for potential multiple alias violations.  If a member suspects a multiple alias violation, they can then easily report it via our “Report Violation” system.

We want to thank all of you for your great feedback and for continuing to make AGORACOM the best small-cap community on the web.  We look forward to any questions and comments you may have pertaining to our new IP address upgrade.

Regards,
George, Paul et al

AGORACOM to Display Partial IP Addresses Of All Posts As Of April 26, 2010

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:45 PM on Friday, April 16th, 2010

Dear Members,

We are pleased to announce that AGORACOM will begin displaying a partial IP address of all posts made on and after Monday, April 26, 2010. The measure has been introduced in order to provide our community with greater transparency with respect to posts on AGORACOM.  As a result of this new measure, members will be able to view other members who may be using the same IP address with just one click – and report any suspicious activity via the AGORACOM violations system.

HOW IT WORKS – PRIVACY INTACT

We want to emphasize that only partial IP addresses will be displayed in order to maintain the privacy of our members.  Much like receipts printed out after making a purchase at a restaurant, only part of the IP address will be visible to the public in order to maintain the privacy of all members.

For example, an IP address is comprised of four sets of numbers and looks like this: 252.234.99.23. When displayed on AGORACOM, the first two sets of numbers will be concealed in order to keep your location/geographic information private.  As such, the IP address 252.234.99.23 will be publicly displayed as XXX.XXX.99.23 to insure your privacy.

HOW IT WORKS – TRANSPARENCY

Using the above IP as an example, members that are suspicious of a particular member’s posting will be able to click on the displayed IP address XXX.XXX.99.23.  The AGORACOM system, which keeps track of the full IP address in our back end, will automatically display any other members that share the full IP address.  A match does not necessarily mean a violation has occurred but it will allow members to quickly and easily compare the posts of members sharing an IP address for potential multiple alias violations.  If a member suspects a multiple alias violation, they can then easily report it via our “Report Violation” system.

We want to thank-you for continuing to make AGORACOM the best small-cap community on the web and look forward to any questions and comments you may have pertaining to our new IP address initiative.

Regards,
George, Paul et al

AGORACOM Responds To OSC Allegations

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:29 PM on Thursday, April 1st, 2010

TORONTO, APRIL 1, 2010 – AGORACOM, North America’s leading small-cap online investor relations firm and second-generation online financial community provides the following response to Ontario Securities Commission allegations announced earlier today.

George Tsiolis, Founder of AGORACOM, stated “It is an understatement to say that we are all shocked to receive the allegations made by the OSC earlier today. As the person who founded this company from his home, based on a passion to create a better online investor relations model for the small-cap industry, we at AGORACOM have strived to do nothing less than deliver great, affordable and cost-efficient solutions of the highest standards. Since inception, AGORACOM has spoken out against the pitfalls of an industry plagued by fast-money boiler rooms, e-mail and fax spam, and chose to focus on long-term online investor relations campaigns. This includes search engine marketing and other Web 2.0 strategies that provide small-cap companies with an opportunity to connect with investors, something that was never before possible. We at AGORACOM are extremely proud of this feat, outright disagree with allegations made by the OSC and look forward to vigorously defending them at any future proceeding.”

ALLEGATION – FRAUDULENT POSTINGS BY AGORACOM

The OSC allegation of fraud pertaining to traffic and activity on client HUBS is unfounded and without merit. AGORACOM initiated conversation on some client HUBS to simply act as a catalyst to spark conversation amongst members and forum users.

As a new medium that is still unfamiliar, the initiating of conversation was also meant to remove inhibitions of members that often feared being the first to post or “sound stupid”- a dynamic that is common to most social settings.

Tsiolis added “We are all acutely aware of the dynamic in which complete strangers are brought together into a community for the first time and the inhibitions that prevent people from interacting. From our first days in school, to our first high-school dance, to the local town hall meeting, people are naturally afraid to be the first to speak or act. The minority of people that do tend to speak or act first tend to be the best, brightest or loudest in the group, which further drives the inhibitions of the majority. My extensive face-to-face experience with small-cap investors has shown they are no different. I have heard time and time again about their fear of asking “simple” questions that might demonstrate a perceived lack of knowledge, or contributing information that isn’t “smart”. We helped those investors open up and begin sharing their knowledge.”

Although AGORACOM has been advised by counsel not to respond to the OSC allegations publicly, AGORACOM feels it is important to put the alleged quantity of posts in context.

First, AGORACOM client HUBS during the period in question ranged between approximately 30 – 90, while non-client HUBS ranged between 300 – 2,000.

Secondly, AGORACOM traffic during the period in question (as measured by Google Analytics) provides further relevant context to the statistics used by the OSC.

o Absolute Unique Visitors 2.204 million

o Visits 14.036 million

o Page Views 163.11 million

o Total Clients 170

o Total Countries/Territories 217

* AGORACOM began using Google Analytics in July of 2007, so no traffic figures are available for approximately 11 of the first 35 months in question.

Moreover, for the years 2008 – 2009, AGORACOM employees accounted for just 0.23%, or just under ¼ of 1% of total visits to the site.

Finally, AGORACOM outright rejects any allegation or insinuation that AGORACOM posts were intended to be promotional and promoted purchasing or holding of stock in order to increase the value of stock options in our clients. To this end, senior account executives of AGORACOM provided the following unified statement today:

“This allegation is simply untrue. In fact, we were repeatedly instructed and reminded by both Mr. Tsiolis and Mr. Kondakos to not post promotional materials and provide information and dialogue that will stimulate conversation. The fact that a former employee decided to use the message boards for his own benefit last year is unfortunate but in no way reflects the honest and hard work that we have delivered to our clients over the last several years. ”

Tsiolis concluded “Our experience unequivocally demonstrates that small-cap clients engage AGORACOM for its ability to use Web 2.0 strategies to reach potential investors and audiences that could not otherwise be reached through traditional investor relations methods. Those services are listed below. This is what clients are promised, this is what AGORACOM delivers.”

o Search Engine Marketing

o Exposure On Our Tier-1 Content Partner Sites

o Exposure On Global Mobile Partner Sites

o iTunes Videos and Audios

o YouTube Videos

o Podcasting

o Webcasting

o Blogosphere Marketing

o Daily Video Broadcasts

o National Business Television Advertising

o Online Conferences

o Twitter Exposure

AGORACOM has not received any supporting documentation from the OSC to support its allegations. We look forward to defending our reputation vigorously.
