Quick Online Tips celebrates 2 years of blogging this month. Since the first post went live in December 2004, the popularity of Quick Online Tips has been on the rise. Switching to our own domain name and Wordpress blogging platform was a good move which has added credibility, a professional image and a lot more to this blog. (more…)

This week I saw my highest weekend site traffic. I will share with you my traffic sources and lessons I learnt over these few days.

Getting started with Wordpress, I found this cool way in Wordpress to tell users about posts related to the current article. If you are a long time reader, you know I used to do this in Blogger manually at the end of posts after searching related posts.
