Interesting things of the times: ma-bimbo.com (8)
This weekend, I stumbled into a review of ma-bimbo from Le Soleil, which apparently is one of the hottest websites in Québec right now.

The website is actually from a french company, with a french and an english version, but due to its popularity, I thought it would be interesting to mention it here.
So Miss Bimbo caters to *girls* teenagers, and is an online game where you “grow” a virtual character, with the objective of being the most popular and richest. The characters can get on diets, go to tanning salons, get breast implants, find a wealthy and handsome man to marry, do some esthetic surgery, become a social starlet, etc. In the article, the website’s founder compares it to a modern day version of the Barbie doll, and says it’s really an innocent virtual game.
Whether it’s “ethical” or not is a judgement I’ll leave to you; what’s interesting is that they’ve tapped into a niche that works very well in Québec (and in Europe as well). In just the past month, the website had a total of 893.000 visits from Québec (in a province with 7 million population !!!), with 130.000 visits from Outremont and 112.000 from Ste-Foy. And this is mostly word-of-mouth, as I haven’t noticed any advertisements in any media about the website.
I’ve spoken in the past with other entrepreneurs if a website catering to a local audience was viable, and most of their replies was that it had to be “generalist” — looks like this isn’t true anymore, if you’ve got enough imagination.










I spoke with Marc Allard from the Soleil almost half an hour to the the digits he receive from that company and I tell him to get the real Google Analytics Stats. It is so stupid to say : 130.000 visits from Outremont and 112.000 from Ste-Foy.
Anyone who know Web Statistics can’t say that specially here where all the Bell geo-stats are from the Toronto routers and Videotron are from Ste-Thérèse. A real Joke! Another Capazoo 2.0 !
If Outremont got 130.000 visits Casablanca should provide 2 millions visits !
hey there,
I don’t know where they got the stats — but I don’t think they are extraordinary. It only takes a group of users who uses the website intensively.
Also, I am not an expert with analytics but I know Google Analytics drops often visitors
It’s hard to come by decent info on the web now thanks for this.
Will it work on any type of scar or simply stretch marks?
I usually don
