We’ve Cracked the Top 100 Aussie Web Startups
100 seems our lucky number this month. We’ve been named 51 in the top 100 Smart Companies of Australia, as named by business mag Anthill, and just cracked the top 100 Australian Web startups as named by Technation, coming in at 84.
The Technation rank comes from web stats compiled by Alexa, Compete, Quantcast and Hitwise. I wasn’t sure we’d get into the Technation top 100, because we’re really only generating traffic out of a single suburb in Melbourne. If we get some press (eg from Anthill) we get traffic from all over (which may have caused us to pop up this month), but otherwise we’re a little different from other web startups in that we’re ‘hyper-local’. If you’re not renting discs in Fairfield, we ain’t much use to you!
What interests me is seeing our Hitwise score (which is not published publicly). This is purely Aussie traffic and more relevant to us, and reorded by Hitwise we slide up to #53. Nice one Fairfield people! Of interest in our Alexa stats, it says we get on average 7.1 minutes per day spent by people on our site. That’s great. By comparison, Bigpondmovies gets 3.4 mins/day, Quickflix 4.3 mins/day, Redbubble 5.5 mins/day, so to trump us we need to go to the mighty Facebook for 25.4 mins/day.
It’ll all change tomorrow of course …
