My Top ActiveRain Articles of 2015
Every year I go through this drill of analyzing my statistics, here and elsewhere, to find trends and determine how to improve my online marketing.
A quick review of my ActiveRain statistics for 2015 show these were my top 3 articles this past year based on number of views, comments, likes, and short URL clicks.
There were no real surprises as I concentrated much of my AR content in 2015 around social media, content curation, and other non-specific real estate articles.
The majority of my beefy real estate articles stayed on my WordPress site. I expect much of the same again this year as it is a formula that seems to be working well.
