Happy New Year, and welcome to 2012!

Invest It Wisely saw a good amount of healthy growth in 2011; search engine traffic in particular grew fantastically. One thing I would like to work on is on my engagement with the readers. In light of that, I would like to ask: Dear reader, what do you enjoy about this site, and what would you like me to improve? If you are not satisfied, then I have failed. I am always looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

2011 in recap


~118,000 unique visitors; up 400% from 2010 over a matching period of time.

1009 Twitter followers; unsure since I don’t know the count from 12 months ago, but probably also up around 400%.

731 RSS subscribers; up 242% from the beginning of the year.
