Hi everyone,
I am happy to inform you that next year FXstreet.com will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
10 YEARS ALREADY!!
It will be an excellent opportunity of doing something really special on the website to celebrate it with all the users that helped us to leave infancy and to approach to teenager’s age.
We are now in the process of thinking what we could prepare and do for the next year.
The idea is that everything goes around the number 10.
So we have to prepare a list of 10 actions to celebrate the 10 years, and each action could be for example offering 10 gifts each to 10 traders, interviews to traders with 10 years of experience,…
We have asked all office staff to participate on this brainstorming as well as our external collaborators.
So I would like to ask you the same: Any proposal that could come to your mind to do during next year will be very welcome. Even if you consider it a silly idea, please send it over.
Some ideas already being considered:
1. From John: 10 Months and 10 Clues to a $10,000 dollar Prize
2. From Francesc: Everything has to go around the number 10
3. From Noemí: To publish a Commemorative book
4. From Daniela: Special 10th anniversary Forex Trader of the Year Contest (demo & live)
5. From Berta: To interview Forex Brokers with at least 10 years in the market
6. From Francesc: 10 gifts each to 10 traders
7. From Berta: To interview Traders with 10 years of experience
…
Any idea?
Help us to make 2010 a great year for all of us

Hi everyone
In a matter of a few days I will release here FXstreet’s traffic data for July 2009. I can already advance today that data was poor, following the poor performance we have had since April 2009 but it was above yearly lows made in April.
One of the few great surprises from July data was the Average Time on Site.
Visitors time on site started a steady climb on January 2009 after having been around 4 minutes/4:30 minutes for the last two years to reach a new all-time high in July 2009 of 6:39, well above the previous high on June when it touched 6:21 minutes.
Again, I just have nothing but gratitude to all of you that make this possible
Thanks!
Francesc
Hi everyone
I’m very glad to share with you here today that the week of March 1st to 7th 2009 was the best week ever at FXstreet.com in terms of visits and page views.
Last week, the site reached new highs of 453,217 visits and 1,302,780 page views from previous highs of 450,828 and 1,240,275 made the week of October 5th to 11th 2008 and February 15th to 21st 2009.
In terms of unique visitors, the site reached last week the 4th best mark ever topping 173,533, still far from the all-time high of 181,856 made the week of October 5th to 11th.
The good performance in visits of the web site - same visitors coming more times to FXstreet.com - is highlighted as well at Compete.com if we compare the site with others.
Of course, compete.com reflects a picture that is completely different than what others offer as Google Trends or Alexa, but compete.com is the source I’ve been following for the last years and I’ll stick to it for good or for bad till something much better will come up.

Hi everyone,
After reaching a new high in October 2008 of 710,000 unique visitors at all FXstreet.com’s web sites, numbers picked up in December after falling to 587,471 in November to reach 623,692 unique visitors. December’s numbers are the second best ever numbers on FXstreet’s 9 years of history.
FXstreet.com in English reached 525,703 unique visitors, 1,576,148 visits and 4,116,558 page views.
I must also highlight the great performance of FXstreet’s mobile site, reaching in its first month of life 2,416 unique visitors. I must highlight that these are underestimated numbers as Google Analitycs only tracks some of the mobile devices you can currently find today in the mobile industry.

Hi everyone,
After reaching a new high in October 2008 of 710,000 at all FXstreet.com’s web sites, in November numbers cooled falling to top 587,471 traders. Even though the 18% drop in unique visitors in November from the previous month, I must highlight that November’s numbers were the second best ever in our 9 years of history.
FXstreet.com in English reached 483,000 unique visitors, 1,541,000 visits and almost 4 mio page views, increasing time on site - 3:54 vs. 3:48 the previous month - and average page views to 2.58 vs. 2.57.
I can expect a further cooling of FXstreet’s numbers in December due the fact of the decrease in liquidity in the FX market as Christmas approaches and the smoothing of the financial turmoil that shacked the markets in October 2008.

Hi everyone
October’s new highs in traffic brought along an important change in FXstreet’s top5 keywords.
For the first time ever, Live Currency Rates jumped from being the 5th top keyword in September to 2nd in October.
Also, it is worth to highlight that top10 keywords does not represent more than 23% of FXstreet’s keywords traffic, so that means that visitors come to our site through thounsands of low traffic keywords.
That´s good news indeed
