The majority of traffic for this site actually comes from search engine results on a few key articles. One of them is How to Think for Yourself. In fact, a Google search on the (exact) phrase of how to think for yourself ranks this article above a similar article by top blog site Lifehacker, and above some similarly worded items in Wikipedia. (As of writing this article, my post was ranked #2.) I didn’t pay any service to list links to the article and didn’t perform any search engine optimization “tricks.” I followed a simple posting process that I use for all my articles.
