I got my faith in SEO back.

An article I published in October last year was picked up by the Google algorithm and is now sending 7.000+ visitors per month to my website (this number is growing daily).

I don’t really check my analytics much and so I only noticed it because I received more and more messages from people who told me they had found me via my blogpost on shadow work. So I got curious and looked into it.

All of this feels really good, because it shows me how much power there still is in SEO in 2021.

After my huge SEO and financial success with my travel blog several years ago, I almost thought this wouldn’t be possible anymore. But it looks like it still might be - just takes a little longer and it takes more effort.

So I’m planning on writing and optimizing my content for search even more.

The dependency on social media is really annoying. Even though relying on the Google algorithm is also a dependency, it doesn’t feel like a never-ending hamster-wheel that you have to feed the hamster every day.
