2006 Review
2006 has been a good webmaster year for me. It was my first full year blogging at Clickfire. Earlier in the year I landed a full time job with Response Mine, an intereactive ad agency in Atlanta. It’s a job that I really enjoy putting my heart into (doing SEO, webmastering, and some design–what else). I am working longer hours than ever, but oddly, enjoying it. It’s partly because of the work, but due a great deal to the very talented, kind and cool people that I work with.
I feel good about what I’ve been able to accomplish with my own projects this year, too. One of the biggest personal victories for me this year was winning my first ever SEO contest. Another accomplishment was finally redesigning and adding new content to Clickfire. Both of these efforts took an unimagineable amount of time to plan and execute. I don’t regret either of these. Now that the redesign is behind me, I feel like I can concentrate on the future of Clickfire. I might also mention that this was a record year for affiliate marketing revenue, another reward for all the sweating. In many ways, I feel like I’m coming into my prime, actually accomplishing things in life due to my own strategies and intitiatives.
This year I have met several very cool webmaster friends through the Internet and through that other thing; I guess you call it real life. I met several of these new friends via social networking sites, another discovery of the year that I hope continues next year. I will definitely be bloging about this in 2007.
Being my final post of the year, I’ll leave you with a few of my favorite blog posts I made during my first year as blogger. No resolutions for me this year. I just want to continue doing the same but more and better. Happy new year everyone!
