I was just looking at some web statistics and noticed an interesting trend. I noticed there are big jumps in hits to this blog on certain days. So I went back to the blog to investigate what days those hits occurred, and guess what I found. On days when I write a blog post, people come visit.
Sometimes its obvious. I wonder how many other marketing situations this applies to. You run an ad, people come to your store. You put a sign in your window, people buy stuff. I guess Claude Hopkins had it right.
