Strategy in TECH...
What’s new at Strata-gee.com? In a word…EVERYTHING! I’m so excited to introduce you to the all-new design for Strata-gee.com. After several years working with the old layout…which served me well for a very long time, I’m incredibly buzzed to launch this new version.
With 2017 nearly over, we’ve wrapped up another year – our best ever, thanks to Strata-gee readers and SYNCH subscribers! With more readers, and more engagement in the form of reader comments, we are lucky to count the smartest readers in Tech among our regular readers. THANK YOU!
Wow…what a way to wrap up our TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY! My head is spinning! At the risk of sounding boastful, please indulge me for a few moments while I share with you what I think are some remarkable results from 2017 for Strata-gee.com. First and foremost, let me say that it is completely thanks to you…our readers…that we have just had the best year in the history of our website.
It was a huge year for Strata-gee.com in 2015 – thanks to all of our readers like you! Not only did we sign up a slew of new subscribers to our SYNCH e-newsletter – a big THANK YOU if you were one of them – but our average weekly page views continued to grow as well. Our “heat map” that graphically displays when readers are on our website shows that there are readers on our website every hour of every day – and every day of every week. But we get a blazing “hot” heat signature on Thursdays, when the SYNCH is blasted out to you, with the hotness continuing on into Fridays.
We announced last week that Strata-gee.com’s parent company, The Stratecon Group, had reached an agreement with NewBay Media to supply content for use by their many media properties such as Residential Systems. Now, we are pleased to announce that the first product of that agreement is available online.
For reasons not entirely clear, the third quarter of this year was exceedingly vigorous for activity on the Strata-gee.com website and the SYNCH newsletter. All except one were actually written during the quarter and four of these stories had astronomical numbers that just a year or so ago would have been decent numbers over a year’s time frame!
It was a very uncomfortable phone call. The caller? A longtime subscriber to Strata-gee.com’s newsletter, who is also a fairly well-known industry personality. He was passionate. He was adamant. He was fired-up. We had blown it – he told editor Ted Green – and in so doing, had called our very credibility into question.
There are some major – and exciting – changes taking place here at The Stratecon Group headquarters…and on its Strata-gee.com website.
While we can’t tell you everything going on at this point – the big news that we can tell you is that the ALERT newsletter is being discontinued.
Why would we discontinue our ALERT newsletter, which many of you – our loyal subscribers – have been receiving for years? Read more below…
If you’ve been following the flow of articles and postings about our forced transition from 
www.stratecongroup.com to www.strata-GEE.com, you know that I was scared to death about making this change – literally losing sleep and enduring a wide variety of gastrointestinal issues (I’ll spare you the gory details). Why?
