I’ve always said life is about the highs and the lows. If my life were moderate all the time, I would end up changing it. Of course, in this blog I mostly talk about the highs. And there have been many. But lows happen too and they are important. Currently INN is still very focused on the resource market and the resource market is very cyclical. Right now, it is at a point that many have called an historic low. And while we still have many great clients, we now have many great former clients. Clients who still believe ...
Read full articleChris and I recently attended Leadscon in Las Vegas. This is likely a show you have not heard of before, but it was Chris’s second time there (my first). Their tagline is “THE Lead Generation Conference”. Since generating leads is an important part of what we do for our advertisers, it’s important for us to go and find out what is new among the much bigger leaders in this market in the US. Some important points I took from the show. Click through rates in 2013 are 0.05% across the web. So for every 10,000 times ...
Read full articleBack in August, Nick introduced me to a guy named Tim Howard, an Australian living in Texas. As is often the case these days, Tim turned out to be someone Meredith had met years ago (while in Australia).Tim runs and works at a company called IRSmartt. Tim and his crew help public companies manage their social media channels from an investor relations persective.Now, we had been approached before on this kind of thing and I was always skeptical. Despite Tim being a friend of Meredith, I was still skeptical in this case. Perhaps I’m showing my age ...

Read full articleA friend of mine is very excited about XBRL and has told me all about it twice now (once with some vodka, so I wasn’t super clear). If you start searching for XBRL online, you might need some vodka too. XBRL allows financial statements (and other financial information) to be machine read. What does that mean? Well let’s say you wanted to compare 10 different companies. You could look at their financial statements, extract key information and put it into a spreadsheet. Then you could sort and graph and do other things to see how those companies stack ...
Read full articleWe started U3O8.biz in 2007, with a focus on quality content to help investors. We decided building trust with the audience was more important than making the sales job easy. We decided to invest in knowledgeable people that write for us and build trust and a following. When we started planning to roll out the network, the Search Engine Optimization advice we received was, “Don’t worry about the content, just build all the sites.” Again, we decided to do the more difficult route and continue to invest in the content. And slowly, we built an audience. That audience ...
Read full articleNow that the elections are past, I am sure we will all be hoping that there is more activity in the markets and we can all get on with building value in our companies - with the support of the markets. But the fact is that many companies are continuing to build value, even without the support of investors in general. The Investing News Network is a good example of that, working on new products and new markets, even as we continue to work hard, bringing value to our existing clients with our existing products. But there are many others. When ...
Read full articleA fact regarding our network is that most of our advertisers are small companies with market capitalizations of under $100 million. Our content talks about large companies, but not a lot of them advertise with us. Some companies, like Nevada Copper and Colossus Minerals, have grown over the years they have been with us, but they were smaller when they started with us. We have recently had companies like Orbite Aluminea, Lucara Diamond, Quest Rare Minerals and IC Potash join the ranks, bringing up the average. It’s a trend we expect will continue. However, we had an advertiser join ...
Read full articleWe recently came across a mining investment web site where traffic has gone from effectively zero to bigger traffic than our entire network, Stockhouse and Kitco. Combined. We were a little shocked that this company had come from nowhere and snuck up on us and taken so much traffic. Some investigation from our traffic expert found that the person behind the site has been associated with sites that have gone through spectacular spikes in traffic, only to have that traffic drop back to where it started in a short period of time. They used this traffic to drive ad revenue ...
