      one thing a lot of people have a great deal of difficulty with about digital publishing is the ebb and flow of best practices evolving. "Eh, the internet is weird this week/month/year" can be an extremely unsatisfying answer http://nymag.com/selectall/2018/08/seo-is-back-thank-god.html …

      Your digital stories have to follow all the rules, except the rules often change, and also sometimes they succeed despite following none of the rules and sometimes they fail despite following all of them http://nymag.com/selectall/2018/08/seo-is-back-thank-god.html …

      I do think there's an entire generation of folks who lived through the early wild west days who watched fb rise and fall who know twitter isn't a traffic source who are all collectively saying eh, sometimes the internet is weird.

      Which is to say, there is no magic formula for publishing success except to keep generating the best content you can and eventually you’ll find your audience.

      hard disagree, actually! Sometimes extremely good work does not eventually find its audience. Sometimes not-great work finds an outsized audience.

          Absolutely true. You’ll get no argument from me. The traffic gods are indeed fickle, but I think publications that generate consistently good content are going to find an audience over time.
