500% growth in three months for Backblaze required more than one channel working. It required a mix diversified enough to hold under scrutiny.

3/ That meant investing in channels that weren't yet the biggest contributor, specifically because they added resilience the top channel alone couldn't provide.

4/ Diversification sometimes means accepting slightly less efficiency for a growth story that survives one channel having a bad quarter. What happens to yours if it did?

Responsive isn't the same thing as mobile-first. A page can resize perfectly and still be designed around desktop assumptions.

3/ A genuinely mobile-first process designs the core experience for phone constraints first, then expands for the extra room desktop provides.

4/ If most of your traffic is mobile, was your best page actually designed for mobile, or just resized to fit it?

"Sessions" is the vanity metric hiding in plain sight, mostly because it sounds analytical instead of promotional.

3/ Pair it with engagement depth and a metric closer to business value, so a rising session count with flat conversion gets flagged for what it is.

4/ A channel that doubled sessions while conversion rate was cut in half didn't improve. It just got noisier.

The rewrite happens because the brief was never specific enough. A vague brief doesn't save time — it just moves the time to the rewrite.

3/ That's a constraint, and constraints let a writer produce something close to final on the first pass — no ambiguity left to accidentally resolve wrong.

4/ This requires real thinking before the brief exists, which is why the vague version is more common. The thinking happens either way — a good brief just does it first.
