Brainfall.com Goal Met!

General NewsAs I mentioned earlier, our goal with Brainfall.com was to achieve 10k pageviews in the first week. Considering our marketing budget of $0 (USD), this was quite an ambitious goal.

Today I report that not only did we DOUBLE that goal, with 20,762 pageviews in the first week, but we are still growing. The 8th day of operations alone yielded 13,131 pageviews. Good work everyone!!!

Brainfall.com a huge success!

  View Printable Version 
General NewsLess than a week has passed since the "release" of our first project, Brainfall.com. The site was released without marketing, and was intriduced to the public only by its sharing on Facebook by less than a dozen of insiders. So far, Google Analytics reports that there have been 635 visitors accounting for over 6,000 pageviews. Visitors have accessed the site from over a dozen countries. It appears that our goal of 10k pageviews in the first week will be reached. Congratulations everyone!

Thank you to all who attended our recent presentation by the CEOs of Secondlife (Philip Rosedale) and Ooga Labs (James Currier). The presentation was a big success and we'd like to thank both CEOs and friends for coming out. Here's some media from the event.
