		<description>By looking at Alexa stats, I can't agree more with Vishal. The site did have an upward traffic growth recently though. However, to generate 5,000 registrations a day a lot of traffic is needed, no matter how good your conversion rate is.

I hope 5,000 is not the number of relationships added each day is. Example A adds B as a contact, even though A and B joined the site a month ago.

Totally unrelated - while reading this post, I started browsing Brijj and after a couple of minutes found an XSS vulnerability on Brijj.com - http://www.gsharma.com/brijjcom-bug/</description>

		<description>Thanks for the suggestion.

WIll look at it.

However we have not got a public stats counter on any of our other sites - naukri, jeevansathi, 99acres.

Hence it did not even occur to us to put one here.

		<description>Hi Sanjeev,

Thanks for stopping by and clarifying and supporting your claim. I have a request though - could you install a public stat counter like the one offered by sitemeter.com sitewide on brijj for a 24 hour period. Then kindly share the link and stats with all. This will clear any doubts and lack of support that countless people are giving your claims on brijj traffic and stats. thx.</description>

Thanks for the very useful feedback.

The numbers we have quoted in our press release are absolutely true. 

As a public company we do not have the luxury of being less than truthful.

Brijj does have over 800,000 registrations and they are growing at over 5000 a day.

And so far we have not spent even a rupee on promotion.

The fact is that with the huge amount of traffic on naukri, jeevansathi and 99acres it is easy for us to get one time registrations.

The challenge lies in getting repeat visits from registered users, getting people to build their networks and improving the quality of the registered user base. This is a much harder thing to do.

And we have said as much in our press release.

Our next agenda is two fold.

First to market the site to our registered users so as improve engagement.

Second a continuous product improvement agenda so as to differentiate the Brijj offering from other sites.

So hopefully Brijj users will see some activity in these two areas in the coming weeks and months.

And as and when we succeed in doing that - the next stage will be monetisation.

Meanwhile do keep the feedback coming.
