The Blog Turns One

OK, we admit it: We’d make a bad husband. Our anniversary slipped passed and we didn’t even notice.

Our first posts on the Yahoo! Publisher Network Blog went up on April 10, 2006. Wow. It’s been a heck of a year, and then some.

This blog has been all over the publishing map as we’ve striven to become a valuable, trusted resource for publishers both in and out of our network. Since we started, our readership has more than doubled.

We’ve written about:

• How-to’s, including: Optimizing for Relevancy, Driving Traffic with Linkbait and avoiding Blogging Faux Pas.
• Guest Columns by smart people in the Web biz like JZ, Daron Babin and Barry Schwartz.
• Optimization Tips like your ad display preferences, choosing clickable colors and ad placement tips.

And so much more—more than 260 posts in all. For a complete list, check out the Archives page.

Thanks so much for making this a really great year.

—Michael Mattis and the entire Yahoo! Publisher Network Team
