Lots of people have been wanting to know how well Emurse has been doing. We've been doing quite a bit over in Blogsmith land preparing for the next round of growth, but that hasn't slowed the adoption rate over on our other project. Traffic (as counted by unique visits) from September to October grew 42%. All across the board Emurse experienced growth (revenue, signups, traffic, page views) -- despite the slow down in press coverage.

This increase is the result of word of mouth, google page rank updates, increasing the width of our funnel, and general (free) marketing approaches. Blog coverage has slowed down a tad, but still accounts for a sizable chunk. Our current (public) goals are to continue improving our SEO and to finish our next development cycle. We have a few surprises to announce along the way, but... stay tuned ;)

We've noticed the arrival of a few copy cat sites lately, and at least one posting on a popular outsource site seeking someone to create a product "at least as good as emurse." As a creative type, it's incredibly flattering. As an entrepreneur, it justifies our space. I can only imagine some of these folks keep tabs on my blog (as I tend to speak pretty openly, which I'm sure gives Gavin the willies).

So.. let me just put it out there like this -- We make our living producing the most powerful blogging platform on the face of the planet. For us, this is our passion project and what keeps us sane. It's a game of poker and we welcome you to the table. E-mail us and say hello, and be prepared when we up the ante. ;)
