Hoping the first week of the New Year is off to a great start for everyone! The holidays and the start of the new year is always a special time for me both personally and professionally. Taking time off from work to enjoy the holidays with my daughter, friends and family was remarkably special. And now with the start of the new year, it's rewarding to reflect upon 2011 and build upon AromaWeb's plans for 2012.
2011 was another busy year for AromaWeb. Making it easy for visitors to learn and explore the dynamics of aromatherapy remains one of my top priorities. One way I strive to accomplish this is by enhancing and updating AromaWeb with new content and making it easier to find existing information. A number of articles and photos were added throughout the site, and AromaWeb has continued to build its presence on Facebook and Twitter. I'm looking forward to expanding AromaWeb even further during 2011.
AromaWeb achieved nearly 4 million page views during 2011. AromaWeb's presence and number of visitors and page views remained impressive during 2011 and plans are in store for stable and solid future growth.
New and Updated Content During 2011
I added and updated a number of pages throughout AromaWeb. Below are a few of the most recent changes:

AromaWeb on Facebook
AromaWeb has a solid presence on Facebook and is enjoying steady growth in the number of "likes." You won't find me aggressively or desperately trying to grow AromaWeb's Facebook numbers or Twitter followers. That wouldn't be the most effective use of my time. I prefer to contribute meaningful, sincere posts as time permits, and I remain devoted to the priority of directly assisting AromaWeb's valued advertisers and visitors with their inquiries, adding quality content directly to AromaWeb and building traffic via a combination of strategies. In turn, this strategy directly benefits visitors and advertisers -- it is AromaWeb that is the destination for detailed aromatherapy content. And certainly as time permits, you will also find me sharing quality content that complements AromaWeb via Facebook and other social media outlets.
I'm looking forward to expanding AromaWeb even further during 2012. Continue to visit AromaTalk and the New on AromaWeb page to keep abreast of what's new on AromaWeb and in the field of aromatherapy.
