March 2019 Blog Statistics

Happy Spring Equinox everyone! It’s the twentieth, which means it’s time for another blog stats report.

I was able to publish six posts this month:

• Easily Check if a Link is DoFollow or NoFollow with CSS
• February 2019 Book Reading List
• Wright-Patt Credit Union Quietly Doubles TrueSaver Rate
• Example Schedule C for Cryptocurrency Mining
• Revert An Older Commit Without Discarding Any Later Commits
• Amazon Shut Down My Associate Account

On that last bullet point - Amazon, for whatever reason, decided to reinstate my associate account. Who knows how the Amazon hive mind works?

I also conducted an experiment after publishing the credit union post where I submitted it the local subreddit. I’m always nervous submitting content to such sites, but it was actually well-received. You can see the spike in traffic on both the Google Analytics and Google AdSense charts below.
