It has been 90 days since ByIndia.com
was re-launched by Web2Corp as a “Web 2.0” bundled social networking
and search engine website with video, auctions, a blog portal, and
classifieds. In those ninety days, the company has grown tremendously,
maintaining a better than 700% growth continuously for three months.
Just before the beginning of 2007, ByIndia.com achieved dominance as
the #1 most visited Indian-centric search engine. Now, just two weeks
later, the newly launched Indian site has more than double the traffic
of its competitors Guruji.com, SearchIndia.com, and Raftaar.com,
according to internet traffic ranking site Alexa.com.
“ByIndia.com continues to grow beyond all of our expectations,” says Bill Mobley, CEO of Web2Corp
, “The fact that we’ve grown more than 700 percent each and every week
for three months really shows that we’re starting to get traction in
the Indian internet community. Our search engine is, of course, the
most popular product that we offer, but we’ve also been seeing a lot
more people going to our blogs and video sections, taking advantage of
our new Web 2.0 products. The power of Web 2.0 lies in making your
users return customers who engage in commentary and dialogues. I think
it’s clear that we’re doing that.
“We’ve been growing at a phenomenal pace, but bear in mind that we’re
kicking off our $5 million dollar sweepstakes in two weeks, where new
registrants are given virtual tickets into a monthly drawing for a 5
million dollar jackpot.”
When asked for insight into the white-hot, sustained growth of
ByIndia.com, Bill Mobley smiles and says, “We provide the Indian
community with a one-stop shop that has all the functionality of a lot
of other sites like MySpace.com, Blogger.com, YouTube.com, and
eBay.com. That convenience and power matters to user, but so does the
fact that ByIndia.com is made for Indians, by Indians.”
