A numbered course on traffic runs through this blog, and each lesson takes one source and works it: solo ads, Reddit, LinkedIn, MSN Ad Center, Digg, del.icio.us. That numbered run is the spine of the whole thing, because it treats getting visitors as a series of separate skills rather than one vague ambition.
Around the course sits a much wider magazine. There are posts on skin care, on camping with your family, on clearing debt before you graduate, on landscaping, on green energy, on getting through a job interview. A lot of that reads like general how-to and you can move past it without losing much.
What holds it together is the first person writing at the front. He treats resentment the way a doctor treats smoke in the lungs, asks what actually makes a person feel loved, carries faith into a business the way a child carries it, and argues against quitting when the road looks uphill the whole way.
Work through the numbered traffic lessons in order if you want something to do this week. Keep the personal and spiritual posts for the days you cannot make yourself start.
