To accomplish this, we had to create a different business model that did not depend on advertising and, therefore, did not sacrifice quality of information for quantity of information. No bickering, profanity, flaming, spam, etc. This has been the very downfall of every small-cap community that came before us.
As such, AGORACOM derives more than 95% of revenues from public companies that engage us via annual contracts to utilize our superior Web 2.0 community and communications tools. We declare every client via press release and clearly label ourselves as their "official online IR firm" throughout the site.
