Blogging Trends at iBankCoin

So I was perusing the traffic stats for iBankCoin and came across some fascinating stats. Traffic via Blackberry devices is down upwards of 75% across the board. Our main driver of growth is through mobile devices, specifically iPhones and iPads, up more than 120% yoy. Within browsers, Chrome and Safari are enjoying double digit gains, while Internet Explorer is down 25%.

Our app traffic is up 500% and my fame and stardom in France is enjoying nothing but growth, where “Le Fly” is practically a household name, along with The Count of Monte Cristo.

Traffic via Twitter is up 300% and Facebook traffic is non-existent.

The good state of Texas is down 18% yoy. It is evident to me, through these stats, that Texas has seceded from the market. Both Houston and Dallas (no champagne parties) have left iBankCoin for dead, likely in favor of some transvestite site. In other good news, the state of Illinois is our best performer–all thanks and praise to the gangster culture present there that identifies with “The Fly” and his violent ways.

In August of 2012, we changed the layout of the site, nuking both our news and blogger network sections, both constituted about 10% of traffic a piece. We also removed ourselves from the vagrancy of Stocktwits, following repeated insults to myself and the readers of our great institution. Stocktwits represented just 155,000 views per annum, out of 13 million overall views–a pittance of minute proportions.

Nevertheless, due to the changes to the site, coupled with a general apathy within the investor community, iBC traffic will endure its first annual decline ever, in the range of -5 to -9% yoy. But it had to be done.

WE NEEDED TO CLEANSE THIS SITE FROM THE EVILS THAT INFECTED IT, IN ORDER TO CREATE A NEW ORDER, ONE THAT WILL LAST A MILLENNIA.

In summary, RIMM to zero, AAPL back to new highs, GOOG is at risk since traffic trends are strongly in mobile’s favor– and of course FB is a piece of shit. If Twitter ever ipos, buy with both hands.

NOTE: With analytics, I am able to view mobile usage on a daily basis, which gives me a unique advantage to identify trends in real time. I’ll keep you posted.

    Canada is known for overall gayness. The great nation of Texas should be given another shot. With god and actual working peeps with money(no ebt) in the wallet they will find Ibankcoin. The ghetto and some farm ground known as Illinois is all but done. No election propaganda to spew they will go back to the fascinating ways of crackheadness.

    I’m wondering if Twitter counts in your analytic engine might be skewed lower than actual. I noticed that the latest ver of the Twitter app keeps my visit within twitter as opposed to opening a Safari window. Might be nothing… just thinking out loud.

      It counts redirects from Twitter to site. I am sure there is a margin of error, but there is rapid growth, something like 500,000 views versus just 9k from Facebook.

    With all respect, ibankcoin isn’t something you’d post to facebook. You don’t have enough videos of cute kitties getting chopped into pieces.

    Love your App Fly but the comments section needs work. There is no way to identify a thread versus random comments.

    Its also last comment first vs last comment last like it is on a computer. It makes things hard to follow.

    Just some feedback.

      I Know. We didn’t develop the app. It was done for free and the developer is too busy to deal with it.

    From the first time I logged on to your original crap looking blog I have never been disappointed. Alas, everything has a first. I looked for an ibankcoin app for my Android device and came up empty.
