The site is growing much faster than we anticipated and we are exceeding our internal goals

SpiralFrog is experiencing a steeper growth curve in the equivalent launch timeframe than other digital music and social media sites, increasing uniques by five-times since its first full month of operation. The site is proving to have strong visitor engagement numbers with an average of about 10 minutes per visit and double digit page views. SpiralFrog has also achieved a marked number of registered users with more than 400,000 members. This makes SpiralFrog one of the top music sites in terms of registration.

“The site is growing much faster than we anticipated and we are exceeding our internal goals,” said Joe Mohen, founder and chairman of SpiralFrog. “In just four months, SpiralFrog has achieved numbers that have taken other sites years to reach and, as measured by registered members, we are on track to becoming the second largest legal music service by year end. We proved the technology behind our concept works when we launched. Now we are proving demand for it from a consumer point of view.”

Mohen continued, “We are thrilled to see the traction we are getting in the 13-34 demographic. SpiralFrog is at the forefront of ad-supported music, and our advertisers recognize the powerful attraction of music as a marketing vehicle to reach active and engaged users.”

SpiralFrog’s growth metrics are accompanied by a growth in content. The company recently crossed a milestone by offering more than one million song tracks—adding more than 30,000 songs since then—and it now offers four thousand music videos for download. Since its launch, SpiralFrog continues to add content weekly, giving the service the largest library of free, legal and downloadable music tracks and videos available in North America.

Mohen said, “We are drawing users that are looking for a music experience that goes beyond downloading. They want to discover new music, learn more about new artists, and see the latest news. Our users are looking for an experience that is all inclusive.”

SpiralFrog provides a comprehensive music experience that allows music fans to get songs, albums, music videos, music news, artist bios, reviews, discographies and album art, among other rich content features.
