2011: Blog Year in Review

Another year is ending – these “year in reviews” are always joyful for me.  Do you enjoy the feeling of a fresh new year ahead? I know I do.  Usually before the New Year I do some blog housekeeping – including updating my bio and navigation bar.  You’ll notice the themed days-of-the-week nav buttons got a make-over.  Since I moved my motivational/inspirational posts over to my personal blog, they don’t need a home in the navigation here anymore. Of course, Twitter posts, Facebook tips and my step-by-step tutorials still have a home here.  “Twitter Tuesday” is now called “Twitter Tips” and “Facebook Friday” is called “Facebook posts”.  Same great content, just a new name.
If you’re looking for some of your old favorite motivation/inspiration posts, you’ll find them over on my personal blog, LauraCatherine.co.  Now, Let’s have a look at 2011!

2011 Blog Highlights:
  • Twitter tips galore on this blog – it was the year of Twitter for me -  including several tweetups planned and hosted (love those Charleston Ladies Who Lunch – link to post and post), a new look for Twitter (link to post)
  • Facebook sweepstakes fun for Kelly – I learned sweepstakes on Facebook are a GREAT (and economical) way to grown your fan base! (link to post)

For those who like numbers/statistics, here are a few fun facts about my blog traffic this year:
  • 18,165 unique visitors came to this blog in 2011.  What a blessing!
  • The top five visitor states are South Carolina, California, New York, Texas, and Florida.
  • 60% of my traffic comes from Google, 20% is referral, and the rest is direct. 
My top five posts of 2011:

  2. How to Analyze Facebook Business Page impressions
  3. How to check in on Facebook places
  4. How to create a welcome screen for your Facebook page
  5. How to add a Twitter tab/icon to your Facebook page
