Actually, a little press has helped our little blog out big-time! The post we published of the “Geezer/Dingbat” yard sign a couple of weeks ago started making its way ’round the Internet, and somehow got picked-up by AOL News. Here’s a screenshot:
Now, take a look at how this one little story impacted the traffic of our blog. I don’t want to give away any numbers, but I will say that with little marketing our blog gets a fair amount of daily traffic, but this link-in from AOL politics has given us our biggest day yet. And that’s today!
Just goes to show you never know exactly what readers are going to respond to.
Congrats! That is awesome. Original content rocks.
Thanks, @Mark Baratelli. klynn and I like to pride ourselves–and I hope it’s true–on the original, unique content we provide Central Florida residents. Sure…we write about stuff other folks do, but I believe it’s our personal perspectives and real writing that keep people coming back for more.
Of course, we’re always open to suggestions for improvement!
