Summary:
1) We continued to develop unique, proprietary properties that directly monetize users (not advertising).
2) All three of our blogs are now the biggest in their relevant enthusiast spaces solely through organic growth, no small achievement.
3) Assisted a client with new product launch including web/business strategy and implementation.
FishingGold.com and other direct user monetization initiatives continue to evolve with a couple of big partnerships pending.
BassParade.com, a rated PG Gawker-like blog launched in 2010, became the highest-trafficked blog in bass fishing, the largest market in the fishing space.
At SeriousBirdHunting.com, the only blog-form website that covers all upland bird hunting (launched in 2010), traffic grew 300% and some Facebook activity exceeded website numbers.
WoodyTone.com continues its organic growth, remains the biggest rock instrument gear blog, and is one of the highest-trafficked blogs in the MI space.
We continued to provide enthusiast-focused content to a select few customers.
