The Most Trafficked Pet Blogging Tips This Month
It seems fitting as we’re about to start the second quarter of 2016 that this month’s most popular posts on the blog focused on trends and social media growth. The start of a new quarter provides a natural separation and a chance to evaluate the old and plan the new.
Interestingly, the most-read and most-trafficked posts this month were social media and content focused posts. (Other than the 2016 conference page and the Nose to Nose Awards page, that is!)

Instagram and Twitter and Facebook… Oh, my!
Social media posts were huge this month. For those of you participating in the #BoostYouBlog10k challenge, engagement was the topic this month. From the comments in these social posts it seems that everyone learned and shared great insights.
