A short post today but with a bullet! In regards to splitting categories when necessary.

Perhaps it was laziness, I dunno. When I first started categorizing this blog I had “Traffic & Promotion” as one category.

Well, they DO go hand-in-hand don’t they?

Yes & No.

Here’s how I see it - all promotion is meant to bring traffic. But, not all traffic is a result of promotion…..at least not “direct promotion“.

Do you see it? Think about it.

The more I market and blog, the more I see differences, sometimes vast differences in traffic strategies and promotion techniques.

This also mean that it makes good “user-friendly” sense, to separate the two for readers. Let us never forget, without readers, we’re just talking to ourselves ;).

You don’t want too many categories, but you don’t want separate issues all clumped together either. That just leads to frustration and the dreaded backspacing right off your site.

Hello All!

OK here we go. As I mentioned in my last post, a brand new feature here is the monthly post round-up. What this means is, at the end of each month I take the best articles from that month (decided by several factors) and link them all in one post.

So as not to duplicate myself too much here, read the last post to see WHY this is something ALL bloggers should consider doing…there are many benefits, both for the blogger and readers

Since this is the first one, combined with the fact that I was only able to get 7 posts up this month (8 including this one), I’ve decided to make this extra special…I’ll be picking posts all the way back to the beginning

Lets get started then, shall we? For our purposes here, I’ll be shortening some post titles. All links open in the same window. Read/comment and simply back-space back here
