Facebook is now the most visited website in the US

Event predicted by us and numerous other analysts has finally arrived – Last week, Facebook surpassed Google.com to become the most visited website in the United States.

Facebook has enjoyed an enormous growth since the day it was created, having it’s fastest growth ever during the last three months of this year. When compared to the same time in 2009 (which in itself saw a huge spike in visits compared to 2008), there has been an enormous, 185 percent increase in visits. 2010 Has definitely started well for Facebook. In comparison, Google has increased it’s visitor count aswell, but it has topped at only nine percent in the same time.

So where are we headed? It is clear that people have a profound need to comunicate. Today, Facebook enables them to do it better than any other networking site on the internet. And with an active user base growing near to half a billion, it is quite possible to find even your farthest relatives there. Today, nothing seems to stop Facebook from growing and it will quite probably keep it’s newly acquired position as the number one site in the US. With over 200 million people logging in to Facebook daily, it is definitely the place for your company to be seen. Our prediction that Facebook will reach 700 million this year seems more and more probable. Newspaper ads are history – the time to start communicating is now.

Dreamgrow has turned 2.0!

Time to open up the bottles! While discussing the date this company was started, we accidentally discovered that the birthday is… today! Which is quite a cool coincidence. Dreamgrow has now officially, but unnoticeably turned 2 years old (or young), going on third. Our third year has started with a really good base for growing – Our Estonian website is getting increasingly more popular, reaching it’s biggest numbers in january 2010.

Our blog has a small celebration aswell – 6 months from the start of our rise in popularity. Today, this blog is doubling it’s visitor count every month! How have we achieved that? Well, basically we walk the talk, using the same methods we talk about in this blog.

• Give people value – you need to give them a reason to come back
• Go social – be visible on as many social networks as you can, starting from Facebook. Talk to your readers and take your blog to where they spend their time – one of them being social networks.
• If your’e an expert on something, put your knowledge together as a package – Turn your knowledge into an ebook, slide-share, or even a video. Then go and share it for free. If it sticks out from the crowd, you will get results.

Have an extraordinary year!
