Big traffic increases for ActiveRain and Localism

Back on January, 30th I made a post about both ActiveRain.com and Localism.com achieving some traffic milestones.

ActiveRain and Localism each hit milestones yesterday

I like to share these milestones as ActiveRain makes it march towards, uh, world domination. I love numbers so their fun to occassionally take a look at, and it also effects how much online exposure members are getting.

ActiveRain.com

Jan. 30, 2007: 10,308 unique visitors

Mar. 19, 2007: 24,289 unique visitors (135% increase in traffic)

Localism.com

Jan: 30, 2007: 1,126 unique visitors

Mar. 19, 2007: 3,881 unique visitors (245% increase in traffic)

By my calculations ActiveRain should have by-passed Google and taken over the Internet sometime in 2008 ;)

Too Cool! Congratulations on such a wonderful accomplishment!

That is incredible. Hopefully this trend continues!

Hi Matt - That's an impressive upward trend. Can you include the membership levels on the graph? I'm wondering how much of the increase in traffic is coming from Rainers vs. the rest of the web.

There's no doubt in my mind. :)

Fran

John: I'll put that graph together, the majority of the traffic increases are driven by search engines according to our logs.

So you're the Big Kathunta eh? (over 1 million points!!) I'm week old to Active Rain but am impressed with your venue! I know to survive in our industry I have to improve my web presence and this format is an excellent opportunity to do it! It is just a matter of networking....

Thanks,

Rick Turner

Those are great numbers, Matt. That's almost exactly what our numbers at RES looked like yesterday... but it's taken us longer to get there. :) Back to back Turner's again... what are the odds?

WoW!! Those numbers are incredible. The number of unique visitors to Localism puts a huge smile on my face. Great job AR. Keep up the good work and thank you for all of your efforts.

"By my calculations ActiveRain should have by-passed Google and taken over the Internet sometime in 2008 ;)"

While I think AR is GREAT and bound to increase in traffic I think that statement is a bit of a stretch.

Rita

Those are some unbelievable stats and we thank you for this opportunity to be part of a new and exciting time in the history of the Internet! Congrats to you all at AR for all your efforts!

wow! That's a big spike going into the spring season

Thats because its so addictive! I love it! I'm almost at 10,000 points and its only been about 3 weeks since I started! I have met so many people and learned so much! I LOVE IT!

These numbers dont lie , i have recieved more and more business off of this site as the time goes by

Awesome! Good for ActiveRain and good for every one of us. That's great.

Great to get the update on the increased traffic on ActiveRain and Localism. Congratulations!

Very cool, Matt. Thanks for sharing the good news. Fabulous to see how things are growing. And the upward acceleration is increasing too.

Jeff

World Domination? I like that:) Better start inviting some other countries to join soon!

Yea I love it. It is so much fun, I love your posts. Look me up if you ever come back to MI

Awesome publicity!

Rising above the rest!

Great strides - great increases. Let's hope we continue to have great content to encourage lots of repeat visitors as well as new ones. Thanks for sharing, Matt.

Matt,

Thanks for giving a little fish like me a way to be heard and found in the vast internet ocean.

Fran

This ia great!! I've been getting so many calls and emails from people noticing me on the featured page for Texas. I love this place!! It's doing wonders for my business and networking!

What's next??

Mmmm. 3821 unique visitors is more than Homefinders.com gets in a day. But, we're just local. Good job. Cross your fingers it keeps growing.

I am. I'm getting back links from it. That's fabulous.

Great news and it will only get better. Your hard work will certainly pay off.

When our Morgan horses went from 1/2 bloods to 3/4 bloods, I did some figuring that in about five generations, we could have a 120% Morgan Horse. No one else can see it.

I "Heart" ActiveRain!

Matt,

Thanks for the post. This is awesome. Thanks to you and the crew for your vision and commitment. Thank you.

Awesome for Active Rain, Localism, and everyone involved. Keep us posted on the world domination ;o)

I am so excited about this pair of websites

Exciting! Let's keep up the great work!

I have enjoyed being a part of ActiveRain, even if it hasn't been a month yet. Eager to see how it grows.

This is a phenomenal concept. You deserve a lot of kudos. It is time that the real estate community take back their profession and speak directly to the public through localism. Thank you for you insight and this great opportunity.

Congrats AR Team! I am so glad to be a part of this awesome network!!!

Matt - Kudos on the exponential progress! BTW - I heard a rumbling "on the street" about a "valuation" ... any comment? :-)

Ditto everything that others are saying. I am truly honored to be part of such a wonderful community. Thanks ActiveRain!!!

Unbelievable! Not does AR provide great posts it also creates the opportunity to be seen. Thanks for a job well done

I want shares when ARs IPO comes out!

Matt, Can you break that out by Search Engine. In the past the bulk of my AR hits where coming from Google but a few days ago I noticed a Up-tick from MSN and Yahoo. My guess is this has to do with the latest news about fresh content... Let just keep feeding the beast!

Matt,

Congratulations, I've just been with you a month and I seen a huge increase in Blogs and membership, My site is up two now #6 on Victoria BC Real Estate...looking forward to #1.

I enjoy active rain, everyone is positive and motivated. Great place to meet fellow Realtors, staggers, MTG brokers and others to share our thoughts and ideas.

I was on active rain 6 hours last Saturday....it hardly seemed like an hour.

Once again thanks for active rain..have an awesome day!

Wow - I think this is viral marketing at it's best - hats off the the Active Rain masterminds - the thing about active rain and localisim is there is an magnetism that pulls you back with all the new information constantly being added - I think this is a formula for SUCCESS! Congrats - love seeing the graphs. Thnks

Hats off to the founders of Active Rain. There is nothing like this on the Internet and you are to be applauded. So many great ideas and so many great professionals.

Congratulations!

James

The snowball just keeps getting bigger. Awesome!

This is incredible! What an amazing accomplishment Matt. You are a genius!

An amazing gift for bloggers and readers. A thousand thank-you's Active Rain, Matt Heaton.

Kudos to all the people doing this who make it possible for folks like me to get found on the internet without having to take out a loan to do it!!

Yay Active Rain.....and Yippeeeeeeeee Localism. That is awesome. Keep up the great work!!!

I vote for a common stock issuance right now to members of 20K points or more... then when Google is begging us to leave it alone, we can IPO and buy them! Talk about an SEO strategy!

Matt, congrats on a job well done, lets hope with everyones hard work it will continue to go for total world domination of everything that is the Internet. I totally agree with David's comment above about stocks certs to over 20,000 points as I am just about there and should hit it today??

here to help...>>>> ChrisHill@remax.net

Let's keep it rollin'! Before you know it all of the people who said it couldn't be done will be saying why didn't I join sooner.

I called it! I said it back on Feb 24th, 2007 (The Day I Joined) ACTIVE RAIN WILL BE THE LARGEST REAL ESTATE NETWORK OF INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS IN THE WORLD!! Will they still feature my posts?

That's awesome! Love to see those numbers going up... just means we're all getting more exposure.

Matt,

Thanks for the post. We are marching onward to a major victory here!

I had a feeling that it was growing!Fantastic!!!!!

I'm not sure if I understand the point system completely. I can receive 25 points for each comment I write for up to 10 comments/day. Is this correct? I can receive 250 points a day for leaving 10 "great post"s a day?

I hope this brings in more business/neighborhood clout.

The traffic has really gone up in a short time, well done.

WoW! I'm so excited to be a part of this!
