Lots of people collect things. Some collect as an investment: coins, stamps, paintings. Some collect for their children: photos, books, letters. Others collect for fun. My personal "fun" collection is Starbucks coffee mugs, 25 at last count from spots like San Antonio, Beijing, Rhodes and Charlotte. Lots of collections are meant to be whimsical, fun....real conversation starters. Our new YellowWebMonkey collectibles make the perfect gift...for you or someone you know.

If you fail to create this connection with your audience, the piece of design has failed its intrinsic purpose.

You might hire a SEO company to “optimize” your site or you might spend money on advertising, whether its pay-per-click (PPC) or other mediums. Like many others, I routinely look at my Google Analytics to see how these things affect my traffic, hoping for that upward trend line that lets me feel like my website is doing something for my business (umm, especially since my business is web design).
A little while back I saw this huge spike in traffic. From one day to the next, my traffic went up 500% and sustained at that level for two weeks. What was it that brought all these glorious new people to the land of YellowWebMonkey Web Design? It was a CraigsList ad I had posted, looking to hire some part-time data entry help to finish a backlog of projects.

That peak got me thinking, “what are some other EASY and FREE ways to get more traffic to my site?” Doing some more research, here is what I came up with:
