Crossed 40,000 monthly visitors.

This is a big milestone for us as we previously crossed this threshold back in April. At the time our traffic was growing very quickly, about 20-30% monthly until we got WHACKED by a google algorithm update that saw us lose about 1/3rd of our traffic overnight.

Needless to say it was very demoralizing and our traffic has been been up and down until we started making steady weekly gains over the past two months.

We're finally back over 200,000 image impressions a day which is a big selling point for us on social media as we try to convince medical educators to share on our platform rather than #medtwitter where the exposure is so fleeting.

We're still struggling trying to sort out what we need to do to get better product-market-fit but it is certainly much more fun to work on when the numbers are going up and to the right.

    That's fantastic! Did you do anything specific for SEO or did it just fall in place naturally?

      Honestly it's really hard to know what is paying off. We had a nice mention in a BMJ labs post, and I've been posting about our site here and there on many different sites to try to get more back links and mentions where we can. We've also been getting a lot of growth and traction on reddit, twitter and IG (lots of retweets/shares)- honestly not sure how that factors into google's SEO. We've also been growing our content database aggressively.
