Hi Justin,  personally, i get the #1 most traffic from the above link.  Actually, the woman behind that site's name is "Maralyn" (might be Marion) anyway, just wondering if you happen to know if that's the same Marilyn who posts here occasionally?  I don't kow.  

Also, i'm going to try to compose some thoughtful input regarding ideas from my corner -- glad they are still on your radar screen.

I wanted to share some of the analytical information from google analytics that I'm getting from SchoolForge traffic.  I think it looks really great (probably why I want to share it ;) ), for the last few months traffic has increased about 8 to 10% on a weekly basis.  I've talked with a couple people here (off list) to find out if the increased traffic here has resulted in more visits to project sites (and downloads), and it seems to be doing so. 

A lot of this is the result of the software section being expanded, and I've put a lot of time into keyword research and site optimization.  I do take effort to make sure that keyword optimization is implemented in a way that is effective (and looks good) without resorting to any shady tactics.  I think adding goal based "how-to's"/case studies as described in the last post would do a lot to sustain or even improve the growth.    There are two pdfs, one is the last month of traffic (8-22 to 9-22) and the other is 3 months (6-22 to 9-22).

I may make this a more regular feature/automated if time permits and if there is interest in this sort of thing.  Any thoughs/feedback?
