Finalizing my 2024 plans. So much opportunity it can be hard to decide what to focus on. One things for sure, I will be investing a lot more in tools and people to accelerate growth even more.

I have a lot of irons in the fire. When discussing my various sites on Twitter, it's hard to keep them straight. Moving forward, I will try and stick to the following labels for my sites as I talk about them here. Site #1 - Largest site, 5 years old, 1m+ page views monthly.

I'm seeing strange spikes in my traffic from Google this morning. This isn't a pattern I normally see (it's normally consistent). Anyone else seeing this?
