It's a bird, it's a plane...No, it's a blog!

You might be wondering what happened to the long article usually found in our newsletter. Well, those articles are now blog posts! KRW has an official blog, The Romance Writer.

Why did we switch to having a blog? It's better for KRW and our authors. Our newsletters don't really get any SEO traction. (Unsure what that means? Just think of it as web search engines have a hard time finding content from our newsletters.) We can write our own SEO destiny with blog posts, however. Which is a good thing for KRW's web presence as well as any author who writes a post. Any blog poster gets their own "about the author," so keep that in mind if you're looking to increase your own web presence.

Here is the link to The Romance Writer.

And here is this week's post: Google Analytics for Authors. Evie Jamison provides a look at how using Google Analytics can boost your sales revenue.
