Hi everyone
We are very proud at FXstreet.com to have such a high percentage of loyal visitors.
Appearing in Google is always important and leads to occasional highs, but the hardest part is convincing visitors that you have a worth visit product and worth to be visited back.
Last months’ stats are telling us precisely that: while the number of parachuter’s steadies, more people come directly month after month. That people know they’ll find what they’re looking for at FXstreet.com, which makes us really happy.
We’re committed to delivering more quality to our visitors as our will is to keep basing our growth on recurring visitors.

Hi everyone
I just read a very nice post from my friend and colleague Arnaud Jeulin, owner of one of the best Forex sites you can find out there like Mataf.net and I wanted to share it with you all.
Arnaud digs in Google AdPlanner to compare the visits received by top Forex sites.
http://www.forexkills.com/forex-global-statistics/
Data used in Google AdPlanner is a an estimation as long as the site does not authorize the use of their Google Analytics account data.
The data Google AdPlanner has about FXstreet.com is real because we authorize it to take our Analytics data. It did not make any sense for us for not doing so when I’m publishing all our data in my blog every month.
The key issue here to know if Forex sites can use AdPlanner for benchmarking purposes would be to find out if the other main sites: Forex Factory, DailyFX, Mataf, BabyPips…. have authorized AdPlanner to use their Analitycs data or the data displayed is just and approximation.
I would like here to encourage Forex webmasters to make their data public as well as we do, as it would be nice for everyone to know the goings outside their own walls.
I think it will be good for the Forex Sites industry overall.
Come on guys, there is nothing to be affraid of 
Francesc
