Checking over all of the stats today, and it seems WF is doing pretty damn well! Aside for the fact that we managed to do over 30k posts in one month, and increase user activity by over 60%! We are also averaging 62 users online now at any given point during the day and at most hours at night. Overall, we did over 3.1 Million pageviews for October (good thing this is on a dedicated box!), the avg amount of time users stay on the site went up from 7 mins to over 18 minutes!
I'm also glad to report that our biggest competitor in the space, EarnersForum (the only reason they are considered a competitor is because we both launched within a week or two of eachother, and we target similar topics) is going to be surpassed by WickedFire by early December in post counts. We already kick their ass with active users and more members than guests online at any given point. We'd definitely be kicking their ass in post and thread counts by now, but they acquired another forum which added about 30k more posts and a 6k threads to their stats, so I'll play fair and just beat those numbers for now.
WickedFire is officially 4 1/2 months old now! Not too shabby eh? We just started doing some SEO work today, and will really beef up the process over the next few months with some very aggressive campaigns. I'm sure that with the upcomming addition of the resource area (which is 7 new channels strong), we'll start gaining the footing needed to rival larger forums in the space such as DP, SPF and WMW. Although they do have many years on us, this place is growing rapidly. At Ad:Tech I ran into so many people I had never known that knew about WickedFire and were big fans. So far, haven't heard a single bad thing yet, unless people just aren't telling me, which is all the same to me!
I'm sure ASW will also bring in a lot of new users, so it's pretty cool to see a forum I never thought would be doing so well so quickly exceed every expectation.
Hey Peter T Davis you homo, still think "places like WickedFire will never take off"? Hopefully you don't give out stock tips either!
