How Smashing Magazine Grew Their Blog in 2007

Posted By Darren Rowse 1st of January 2008 Miscellaneous Blog Tips

Today Vitaly Friedman from Smashing Magazine answers my question of what one thing helped them improve their blog in 2007.

We’ve tried to improve the quality of our articles. In 2007 we’ve spent more time on research, we’ve refined our requirements and expectations from the sites we cover in our articles.

Also we’ve included more (many more) images in our posts. It helped us to improve the blog and drive more traffic to our site; and it was the main reason why our weblog crashed in the end of 2007.

However, after a couple of server issues we’re now finally back on track.

Note from Darren: Vitaly’s strategy has certainly paid off. If their Alexa ranking is anything to go by they’ve seen some real success with their ranking increasing from around 97,000 this time last year to a current ranking of 4790.
