LeapComp is celebrating its first year! Time just flew by since I first decided to blog and it has been a great ride so far.
| December 17, 2007: | Launch of my blog at compensationexpert.blogspot.com |
| December 21, 2007: | First post “What is Incentive, Compensation and Sales Performance Management” |
| December 23, 2007: | I received an e-mail from my first reader |
| April 29, 2008: | After four months of “double digit growth”, break the barrier of 1000 unique visitors within a month |
| May 17, 2008: | 100 articles milestone! |
| August 10, 2008: | Transferred blog from blogspot to its own domain – leapcomp.com September 15, 2008:Google “PageRank” (measuring the importance of a website) upgraded to 5, the same ranking as Callidus and Varicent, and beating other vendors such as Centive and Xactly |
| September 22, 2008: | After several various designs, LeapComp receives its current look and logo |
| October 1, 2008: | Most popular post “Come on SPM Vendors… Grow up!” receives 20 votes, 18 comments, and over 8000 hits during October |
| December 17, 2008: | Currently 143 published posts, and many other drafts waiting to be published in 2009, with a readership which has been increasing quickly quarter after quarter A year ago I was wondering if I’d have enough ideas to write for an entire year. A year later I’m realizing that I just scratched the surface of the topic and I believe you will find many more exciting articles in 2009. |
I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has provided me with valuable feedback, to my fellow bloggers and SPM companies who have been linking to LeapComp, and most importantly to my readers who have found LeapComp to be a valuable source of independent information on sales performance management.
Happy Holidays!
