Hi everyone

Here I come again with the review of November’s performance of my preferred Forex web sites.

Comparing with September’s data Mataf added 120k unique visitors in November to gain second position right after Forex Factory and beating FXstreet.com and DailyFX.com.

I would love to know if Currency Converter still gets a big piece of the traffic at Mataf.net or has lost ground the last few years against the increasing quality of the contents generated by Arnaud, but either way it is outstanding what Arnaud and Flo are doing with their site.

Main Highlights:

1. DailyFX.com
The site gains 80k unique visitors, while adds 300k visits and does not change in page views. We will see if that gain consolidates in the coming months or it is just a temporary AdPlanner adjustment.

2. Myfxbook.com gains 50k unique, 800k page views and 120k visits. Amazing!

3. ActionForex.com ads 1.2M page views

4. ForexLive.com ads 0.5M page views

Congratulations guys!

Francesc

Monthly Data: November 2010

(*) FXstreet’s numbers are taken from Google Analytics and Mobile Traffic Stats have been subtracted to reflect the impact of the Network on the Internet.

Note to viewers

1. Data for all sites was taken from Google AdPlanner.
2. (*) FXstreet.com data has been taken from Google Analytics aggregating the data of all sites minus the stats of the Mobile
3. To fairly compare the size of Forex Portals we must take in consideration that DailyFX.com Forum could be around 1.5/2 mio page views. Also, Mataf.net numbers are distorted by the size of its currency converter, a no doubt major hit in the industry of converters.
4. Learningmarkets.com it is not just a Forex site as it also covers general investment concepts, ETFs and Funds…
5. ForexFactory.com, InformedTrades.com, ForexPeaceArmy.com, Babypips.com, Forex-TSD.com and FXFisherman.com are Forex Forums.
6. Myfxbook.com is a Forex Social Network. As far as I know, the fastest growing site at this moment.
7. DailyFX belong to FXCM. FX360 to GFT

Hi everyone

Here you have a review of September’s performance of my preferred Forex web sites. The sites listed here are just sites I like and admire because all of them are unique in something, they all have been entrepreneurial in most of the things they do or in the way things are done. For me, these sites are the leading Forex sites.

As I already stated for August performance, those sites that the way they do business is through copying others, they just have been ignored.

For September 2010 I must highlight the important progress experienced by the three leading sites: Forex Factory (adds 2mio page views to 19mio), DailyFX (adds 1.2mio to 11mio) and ourselves that add 950k to 7.8mio.

But above all, I want to take my hat off before:

1. Mataf.net
The site gains 70k visits from previous month and gains the 3rd position in visits right after FF and FXS.

2. Myfxbook.com and ForexLive.com. These guys just grow at the speed of light!

Congratulations guys!

Francesc

Hi everyone

Unfortunately for me I can not report today new all-time highs for FXstreet.com as I just did for FXstreet.es in the previous post… but we were so close!!!!…..

It was no doubt a close call as the site stayed just at 8k unique visitors, 4k visits and 2k page views from reaching new highs.

The week of October 3rd to 9th was though one of the best ever with the site reaching 540,896 visits (2nd best ever), 180,749 unique visitors (3rd best ever) and 1,545,580 page views (2nd best ever).

Breaking down the traffic by country, we still see the US leading but the UK is getting closer and closer, while Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia keep heading up.

Hi everyone

Here you have an update of yesterday’s post about Top Forex Sites Performance for August 2010.

I just got some data mixed up thanks to Google Documents Sorting Option and my advanced skills as user

Also, Jamie Coleman at ForexLive.com sent me their Google Analytics stats that reflect what we were saying about them, that Google AdPlanner was heavily underestimating their page views that already went up to 1.6 mio in August.

Great job guys!

Hi everyone

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to have a long and nice chat with the CEO at Forex Factory. He told me that they were working into tracking the size of the retail Forex Market and I’m eager to see the results of their work, but in the meantime I thought it would be nice and very useful for me to track the performance of the best sites I know about Forex to see how they are performing and how mine is doing compared with them.

Here you have a list of my preferred Forex web sites. The sites listed here are just sites I like and admire because all of them are unique in something, they all have been entrepreneurial in the things they do or the way things are done. For me, these sites are the leading Forex sites.

if you feel someone is missing from the list… please let me know as i could  easily have forgotten someone who deserves to be on the list

Those sites that the way they do business is through copying others, they have just been ignored.

Comments
At this time, the table shows not much new things. ForexFactory.com is the biggest Forex Forum and the biggest Forex site overall. Its outstanding 18 million page views and 650k unique visitors speak by itself.

Secondly, Dailyfx.com can be considered the biggest Forex Site in terms of proprietary market information with their incredible 10 million page views. My hat off for Dailyfx.com.

Thirdly, FXstreet.com still is the biggest Forex Portal but we can not compete with the force of users content (FF) and the cash and market wise of DailyFX, but here we are giving everyone a hard time.

Forth, two hats off for Arnaud Jeulien and his Mataf.net. All by himself with the great help of his wife, Arnaud has consolidated Mataf.net in the 4th position and growing fast.

One last comment, keep an eye on Myfxbook.com and Yohay’s ForexCrunch.com. They are both doing a great job and growing extremely fast. My admiration for Michael Greenberg’s job at ForexMagnates.com but you already know that

Notes to viewers
1. Data for all sites was taken from Google AdPlanner.
2. (*) FXstreet.com data has been taken from Google Analytics aggregating the data of all sites minus the stats of the Mobile Site.
3. To fairly compare the size of Forex Portals we must take in consideration that DailyFX.com Forum represents around 1.5 mio page views. Also, Mataf.net numbers are distorted by the size of its currency converter, a no doubt major hit in the industry of converters.

4. Learningmarkets.com it is not just a Forex site as it also covers general investment concepts, ETFs and Funds…

5. ForexFactory.com, ForexPeaceArmy.com, Babypips.com, Forex-TSD.com and FXFisherman.com are Forex Forums.

6. Myfxbook.com is a Forex Social Network. Probably the fastest growing site at this moment.

7. ForexLive.com is a site to keep an eye on as it is becoming a must visit site. As far as I know, the AdPlanner data underestimates by far the real traffic of the site. The site should be around 1.5 mio page views at this time.
Everyone I have spoken with have told me how accurate AdPlanner figures were, but with ForexLive.com this is not happening.
