I was thinking of writing this tomorrow with full stats from October and all, but today is the last day of October (that explains the costumes…) and writing about this in November is not my style. It’s nice to celebrate for a moment and then set greater goals for November and December.
Besides, it’s not like we’ve accomplished anything too worthy of a celebration anyway.
But the fact remains: it’s somewhat fitting that on the last day of a month where we will set records amongst all important metrics, we’re experiencing once again our best day ever today, traffic wise.
Some highlights and accomplishments:
Traffic in October grew 70% in terms of unique users and 50% in terms of pageviews. Our ad impressions grew 30% (we don’t blast ads on all pages, if we did, these would have grown proportionally with pageviews).
Better yet:
We have yet to run a single pre-roll ad on WatchMojo.com despite considerable demand from clients to do so… I am not certainly not saying we never will, just not now. WatchMojo.com now has well over 2,500 original clips.
October was also the month where we finally launched our proprietary search index and crawler on MetaMojo.com. We just signed our first monetization partner, which will roll out soon…
The citizen journalism platform and media professional news service BloggerMojo.com published its 3,600th post this month, in just nine months since launching - that’s 400 stories or news items per month (or 13 per day).
StreetMojo.com will publish its 4,000th contest anyday now…
October, 2006 will go down as the month where the Mojo Supreme business plan came together.
Best of all:
We’ve accomplished all of this with no outside financing: no angel investors, no venture capitalists; just hard work.
Whatever comes our way, we’ll adapt, survive and win.
Third time’s the charm. Mark my words.

[…] For some reason I’ve been spending less time on YouTube since the Google acquisition. That might have something to do with the fact that we’re growing by leaps and bounds and I need to spend more time building the business than looking for random, obscure music videos from the 1980s on YouTube.

[…] Karbasfrooshan at MojoSupreme also understood this early (way to go, Ashkan!) - very early on, they started their own search engine, MetaMojo, to better find and monetize the content they were creating in the MojoSupreme properties. […]
