Social Networking - Revisited

Almost three months ago, I discussed some aspects of social networking that I plan to incorporate into my website. How have I done so far?

1) Facebook: I have a diverse community of fans of different ages and cultures. I attribute that to my content - I have traveled to interesting places, and have posted pictures from those areas. Area where I could improve - encouraging dialog. However, I think that will take some time.

2) Blog traffic: Lately, I've noticed that my LinkedIn efforts are leading to increased blog traffic. However, I could post more often, and in more areas. Frankly, the reason I haven't is my new job. It's really taking more of my time than I'd expected. Between that and my newly disciplined workout routine, it's been a struggle. However, there's a direct correlation between my blog posts and my web traffic. It's a tough balance to achieve, I admit.

3) Flickr page views - they've definitely been on the upswing. Interestingly enough, this picture has climbed dramatically in the rankings:

University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia - The Quad

And this one has fared well:

Bellagio - Las Vegas

This tells me that I may have something "there" where architectural and interior photography is concerned.

Tomorrow - my "current events" - the shutdown and one of my contests. The former affects my weekend plans, the latter an upcoming set of submissions.
