The writer advises us to slow down blog post publishing in December arguing it is the holiday season and people are focused on spending time with their loved ones instead of visiting your blog. Rather you must concentrate on getting your blog ready for 2020.

Wow. Lots to think about, thanks.
Do you have any thoughts on number 4. Run a Content audit to improve content performance
Is this a manual audit or is there a program for it?
Thank you
Yeah, I was also wowed when I first saw the information. Really, lots to think about. Thanks for your participation in the conversation.
I think the writer has given so much actionable information that any attempt to do otherwise would be futile. Just follow the ideasand you would be done. He has listed the programs you can use, such as SEMrush.
Thanks for this piece Akoli, there sure are a few good ideas here!
Wishing you a happy, healthy and successful 2020 - Jules
