This month marks the second anniversary of this blog. We are not yet one of the top 100 most popular blogs in the U.S. but we continue to work on it. I am thinking to promote myself as an SEO (search engine optimization) expert given the number of SF posts that appear as first choices on Google. (It's all in the titles and tags.) I always laugh when one of my posts shows up on Google ahead of the company mentioned in a SF post. Note to McKinsey, I am available if you need an SEO expert.
Topics of the most interest to readers continue to surprise me. In order of popularity the topics are:
- Web-related technology
- Startup management
- Current events (helps to have had a financial crisis)
Maybe I will rename the blog "Sophisticated Technology" or Sophisticated Startup". No stealing those names.
Another thing I have noticed is that a series of posts on a single topic bring in many more readers. Thanks to all the readers who had suggestions for how to extend the series on key performance indicators (KPIs). Thoughts on a topic for a new series are most welcome. Leave them in the comments or email me.
The most fun in writing this blog has been all the great people from all over the world with whom I have corresponded. Still waiting for a speaking offer in India or Russia, but it would not surprise me.
I have also learned that putting images in a post increases readership. In honor of the second anniversary of SF, I have put up a picture of one of my heroes--Alf. For those too young to know about Alf, he is honored in this Wikipedia article.
Also, in honor of the second anniversary, I would like to remind new readers to visit this post on HUTM--the Hacker Universal Theory of Management. GO HUTM! GO NAVY!
Thank you to all the readers for their readership and continuing support.
