But, it's imperative to keep the momentum going. For most businesses today, you're simply nowhere if your website isn't keeping up with the competition. In the year since we've launched our redesigned website, we've made tremendous changes that have almost doubled our overall web traffic and certainly added to the functionality and SEO rankings of the site. But it's an ongoing process. I loved what you said at launch, Roxanne, that the actual launch is the "delivery of the baby" but the years after are when you really do the parenting. And, Roxanne, you are exactly right, without the links, the post is much less useful. It's totally worth the time. Dog's cute, too.
