• In our third week of “the turn” in direction, current blog topics pulling well in their first week
• No apples-to-apples but 572 visitors since “the turn” vs. 808 in previous 3 weeks so traffic is down, but…
• “4 Reasons” article picked up by MyVenturePad = 379 views on the site
• Blogs via associations pull best: “How to Move Inventory” got 1,173 views
• Second best is the big name: Blaisingame got 889 views; Michael Gerber, 726
• Caveat is that the older ones reap the benefit of a cumulative effect but…
• Customer stories only 300+ during the same time period. Flip Mino post pulled 396 but is older than “Encouraging Risk Taking in Employees” with 601.
• “How to” focus of blogs generates Google traffic = #1 driver. It’s the way people find us.
• Short form blog posts cannot be propagated. Need to be >250 words, no video, “how to” in focus.
•Short form blogs can still be bookmarked
