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.
