Hello! I hope you enjoy this class. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make the class a better experience for you. Not only will I test concepts here upon occasion , but I will also create links for blog posts from the class so that you can see the impact that has on your traffic and rankings. As you can see, I have not posted to this blog for a little while. I have three blogs, all for different purposes, so I tend to post to this one when we are all working our blogs here in class, and I will do so in a variety of ways. Upon occasion, I will post things here that are pertinent to the class, but I generally will also post those same thoughts elsewhere. I will also share the posts of people in the class here as well as some veteran bloggers, content people and analytics gurus. Please visit here at least once a week. I do like to see that I have visitors. And leave a comment from time to time, not only here but on each other’s blogs as well....
