Expanding the Reach

Although I'm pretty sure I addressed this in a prior post, I don't have time to look for it right now. To wit, the 4th quarter is an incredibly busy time of year at work, and I mentioned that my frequency of posting was going to slow down a bit until January.

It has, and that will continue for the next few weeks. At this point I have one more post in mind for ~Christmas week, and another brewing in the background.

 

I'll address the latter first.

 

This blog is getting visitors from all over the planet, and the graphic above shows traffic from the top 5 countries. There are many more on the complete list, including Australia, Poland, France, etc. 

 

As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, my Uncle Raymond did a great job writing names, dates and places on the back of most of his pictures. Many of the individual visits ( from foreign countries ) that I've seen on Statcounter came to this blog searching for the name "Raykovitz."

 

Perhaps, like me, they are searching for information about their ancestors, or researching names they found in photo albums, journals, etc. 

 

In an attempt to attract visitors from the families of individuals who are named on many of the photos in Ray's album from his time in New Zealand and Australia, one of the next posts I put together will contain a brief welcoming explanation/statement, followed by a simple list of names, dates and places that Ray wrote on the back of the dozens++ of photos in his album.

 

Going back to the days of CompuServe and Prodigy, I have been on the internet for 20+ years. Going back another decade or so, an integral part of my job was - and still is - to find people who don't want to be found.

 

Based upon online search triggers & tactics that have worked for me over the years, I'm going to turn the tables a little and put info out on the web that I want people to find.

 

Should be fun. Stay tuned.
