The point of Throwback Thursday is to draw attention to posts from the past that may still be of interest. It’s why I focus on the more individual posts and not on old bundles or 5 on Friday posts. There’s no real value to those formulaic posts several years later, you know?
So, I try to use Throwback Thursday to draw attention to interesting posts from previous years that might have some evergreen quality to them. There are some years where I’ll have a lot to draw on, and others that are a bit more sparse. Once we hit the last couple of years, there will be a lot more content to draw on, as I feel that we’ve really stepped up in recent years, and I am edging towards 2 years of daily posts.
It feels a little disingenuous, therefore, to try to use Throwback Thursday to drive traffic to today’s post. It already makes up over a quarter of all traffic to this blog and has spawned a pair of popular follow-up articles.
