At Catalyst we were hesitant to add a blog on our legal website. However, we noticed other excellant legal blogs like the Harvard Law Blog. We are surprised to experience traffic growth on our blog as well. It is nice to see Harvard as an inovator.
Thank you,

The growth in your traffic can be directly linked to the increase in your search engine rankings. You are now ranked very high for a lot of relevant phrases on the SERPs.
Good job!

BTW, your rankings are especially valuable because of the high number of searches being done that relate to blogs and finance.
