How to Get and Keep Readers

The Big Cajun Man emphasizes the importance of quality and relevancy in content to maintain audience engagement. They note that their site serves diverse groups of readers, focusing on topics such as Registered Disability Savings Plans, Registered Education Savings Plan, and debt management. BCM puts an emphasis on sharing knowledge and clarifying misconceptions, particularly around debt. They also cover several other finance-related topics, and maintain another site which is a hub for various ideas on technology and security. Providing useful, topical content for target audiences remains their core rationale.

The author attributes this to “Long Tail” keyword search benefits, similarly experienced with a 4th of July post, highlighting the unpredictability and luck involved in search engine traffic.
