This year ForexTicket/Mataf will be a 10 years old website. It’s a good reason to have a look in the past and to imagine the future.
During the last 10 years Mataf was my playground. I worked with search engine optimization, online marketing, community management, creating orginal content… I think Mataf was unique in the forex space, most of the trading tools were done before for my personal trading. I developed content I didn’t find somewhere else. And it worked very well, last year I welcomed almost 1 million unique visitors per month in january and march.
The number of visitors was enough strong to take a risk without endangering the future of the site. I decided to build a brand, as the domain name mataf.com was not for sale I completely changed the brand name for ForexTicket. I was aware that this change could drop the number of visitors.
And the number of visitors dropped by 30%. But, thanks Internet’s God, the fall was stabilized and 2012 started -very- well.
Forexticket is a worldwide website. Europe represents more than 50% of the whole visits but Asia (Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, India…) become more important every week.
The mobile version of Forexticket is growing very fast. In december more than 6% of visits are from a smartphone or a tablet and I could reach 7 or 8 percent in january.
So, today we have a new brand, the website should recover all its visitors in the following months. We are strong on mobile and web.
And tomorrow we will be better on mobile and I will try to enhance the brand. We have one distinct website per country, ready to be compliant with all the regulations… And to become an independant broker! … okay, it’s probably a joke, I didn’t plan to transform ForexTicket as a forex broker, I lack some skills and motivation to do that.
I just want to appreciate the good work you are doing. I always use your website to confirm my daily positions because i have limited tools to trade with. but ever since i discover your website i graduated from been a news trader into 80% technical trader. This i know because price moves in technical levels and not that fundamentals dictates the technicals. I just want to say thank you. Perhaps you can start a forex school online with a small price tag especially during the close of the european session. I really want to learn more from you because if u realise you will know that market moves after you update your analysis and sometime to come thousands of traders will follow your alerts and you become a formidable personality that can make things happen. Thanks and God bless you sir, more power to your elbow.
Thank you!
congratulations Arnaud, you deserve it!
it does make sense in some way though 
the joke was funny btw
Yes it make sense… To be completely honest I regularly study the opportunity to become a broker and I always put the file to the trash. It’s an other job than produce content
another yes, but by far more profitable. though i’m not sure you are the broker type
yep. That’s the reason I’m not a broker
