  1. Hey! Thanks for including two of our articles! These are definitely great examples of evergreen content. I can tell you for ours, anyway, that they are two of our posts that get the most traffic (even today — months and months after they were written!).

    1. Hey Brooke,

      You are very welcome! I am not surprise to hear that those posts get a lot of traffic. Some of that traffic is me! 😉

    Thank you SO much for including my article. This is something that I wrote some time ago but it’s the bottom line in many of my more recent articles. Certainly an evergreen topic.

    Great topic for the end of year, certainly a great reading list. Will be scheduling them for the days ‘off’.

    Happy Holidays Christine and the BEST for 2015.

    1. Hi Veronica,

      I am a huge fan of you, of course 😉 and that particular message you provide in the article. I’ve shared the article before and I couldn’t help myself in sharing it again. I especially love to use it as an example of evergreen content because it was written a while ago and it is still very relevant.

      Thank you for writing such great content! 🙂 Happy New Year to you!
