Hi everyone

FXstreet Network of sites lost the 9M level in September - something I must admit I thought I would not see in a month that was not December - so what it usually was an excellent month it was a pretty disappointing one.

Comparing traffic data for FXstreet.com English site vs. same period last year,  the results are terrible with a fall of -17% in visits, -21% in unique visitors and -20% in page views. As an excuse I could say that September 2011 included 4 weekends and this September included 5, but if we take the very same period the results are still bad with a fall of -13%, -18% and -14.37%.

FXstreet.com English Site Traffic Numbers: September 2012 vs. September 2011
Visits: -17.41%
2,095,768 vs 2,537,525
Unique Visitors: -21.29%
508,371 vs 645,879
Pageviews: -19.56%
6,199,047 vs 7,706,026
Pages / Visit: -2.60%
2.96 vs 3.04
Avg. Visit Duration: 3.69%
00:07:58 vs 00:07:41

The only good news is that time on site kept its good performance and improved 4% vs same month previous year and 20% vs. previous month... of course, if I want to see the glass half full and not half empty I just have to compare numbers with August that was even worse:

FXstreet.com English Site Traffic Numbers: September 2012 vs. August 2012

2,095,768 vs 2,011,660

For us, it is time to work. Time to get things done and do them well. Time to prove that we still are the number one.... and I am sure we will :)
