Agoge Inc – Goals

The new year is coming up, which means it’s time to set goals and work towards them. Over the next few days I am going to post goals up to June for each website, as well as some future projects.

Here are the stats for December, for Subeta. It’s a little off, since we had a little bit of downtime in the past week due to high traffic. Here are what I would like the stats to be, by June 2009.

Views

All Visits: 3,500,00
New Visitors: 400,000
Returning Visitors: 2,500,000
Pageviews

All Visits: 250,000,000
New Visitors: 15,000,000
Returning Visitors: 200,000,000

Pages/Visit

All Visits: 300
New Visitors: 100
Returning Visitors: 200

Bounce Rate

Overall I’d like it to be less than 10%

Average time on site

I’d like it to be at least 45 minutes. Need to add features that are compelling and keep users entertained for long periods of time.

New Visits

I’d like to increase our advertising and get a large amount of new incomming users through the starting months of 2009.

Goal Completion

To complete these goals, I need to ramp up an advertising campaign that isn’t just adwords, or even advertising on sites that are similar to Subeta. I need to start making friends in the industry and start working with like minded young people in advertising our companies together.

Also, another major push will be getting Subeta more involved with Valenth — and increasing the amount of advertising used for Subeta on Valenth.

Increasing the amount of programmers that we have will be a requirement, and I hope to have applications open near the opening of 2009 with basic questions that any programmer should be able to answer. We are going to be looking for the talented pool of Subeta users because they know the site, and what the users want.

The achievement system is huge in keeping users on the site. I hope to add at least 20 new achievements a week to keep people on their toes, and running around the site working on completeing the collection.

Also, I plan to increase the social networking features on Subeta — allowing users to interact with other users. Major changes to the forums, and internal mailing system should be completed by June, including the reputation system. Also making it easier for users to communicate via profile comments, and maybe even an on-site messenger system.

Another thing will be integrating outside social networks into Subeta. I plan to have a facebook application ready to go by June 2009 at the latest, as well as integrating facebook into Subeta for importing friends, and finding out which of your friends have a facebook profile.

There are a lot of things that we can do to continue growing, and I hope that 2009 is a great year for Subeta and it’s users :]
