"This last figure demonstrates that content is king," said Director John O'Neill.

"We are constantly adding to and updating our site content. Obviously we're giving Tax Professionals what they want, and this, in turn, is reflected in our growing membership.

"We're attracting new members at a good rate, but we still have a long way to go," he added.

The site will continue to market through "word of mouth," as well as more conventional means.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it," said O'Neill.

The company is aiming for 25,000 members by Q1 2005.
