I hope you all had a great holiday season. It was a great break and I feel that 2018 is going to be a breakthrough year.
We are still kind of working on the plans for the blog in the coming year. We may be making some format changes but nothing drastic. I mean after all we have been going for almost three and half years and doing so fairly strong.
One thing that some of you may have noticed towards the end of the year is that we started re-posting some of the stories from our early years. This was done for two reasons.
First reason was the schedule around the office got a little cramped and rather than skip posts, we felt that revisiting some of the classic posts would be a good way to keep the content going. This mean some revisions, some rewriting and just general polishing.
The second reason, and that sort of feeds into the revising has to do with SEO, Search Engine Optimization. Basically how we get found out on the Internet. In the early days our concern was posting content and we figured that the eyes would just naturally find us out in the wild. Hey, quit laughing, it made sense at the time.
With such a philosophy we published a lot of posts that had zero SEO, and as such, we never really took off that much with direct traffic. A few months ago we decided to focus more on that. As such all posts with new content are in fairly good SEO shape, but the old ones not so much. So as we launched revised posts we also updated the SEO on them
The results have been astounding. We are growing on the Internet like never before. It is that kind of growth that we are going to take into 2018.
Thank you all for you support and kind words.
Regular posts will start back up on Wednesday of this week.
