IDC Guide

Our First Progress Update

Found this message from 4 years ago and without giving too much away we are happy with the progress and standing of this website.

Quick update for idc-guide, sorry this has taken so long but we are busier than ever. Visitors and search engine increases are much advanced of my expectations and am confident that my 2-3 year targets are obtainable meaning lots more visitors to the site and more visitors to your sites. You should be able to see your ‘direct’ visitor numbers via idc-guide from your stats packages.

idc-guide stats
1500 for the last 30 days (this is without the 300 on the launch days when I invited via email lots of people to look at the site).
The previous 30 days 22 Dec – 22 Jan was 1550 visitors including my 300 visitors on the days of the ‘launch day’ which was 4th Jan.

Referrals from idc-guide
I will now try to send these out weekly

Now had the first Google meaningful ranking for idc-guide and the site has made big leaps up the search engine ladder, comparing idc-guide with our competitors we have a much broader range of search engine key terms and these terms will be increased in future to bring even more visitors to the site.

idc-guide IDC applications
Received 5 applications last month, there is one that is currently viable and once we agree terms I will then give you the power of veto.

After I reviewed this email I realised I should have waited until month end to keep the comparisons correct with the previous email (31st Jan) and will try to do one at the end of Feb also.
