Guest post by Jessica Torres. A year and a half ago, I started a blog about my pet guinea pigs called Cavy Savvy. Originally, I wanted a way to test the SEO techniques I was learning about at work, and having a hobby blog just seemed like a fun way to do so. I never knew it would one day receive over 13.5K pageviews a month and have 105 loyal followers without me ever paying for PPC advertising (Organic traffic FTW!).

Eleven years ago today, I had little notion that my life would be changed forever. At the time, we lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since we lived in a “bedroom community” of the City by the Bay, we had to get up and get ready to leave our home at an unearthly hour to make it into work at a “regular” time (both my husband and I worked in/near downtown San Francisco).

“Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind”. ~ Samuel Johnson, “The Rambler” (March 12, 1751). Looking back on my somewhat checkered past, I see that I’ve always been your basic “ Curious George.”. As a toddler (4-ish), I wondered what was inside that thing on the wall where, if you plugged in a lamp, there was light, or if you plugged in a radio, there was sound… music… people talking.

Jen Zingsheim , who periodically guest-moderates #measurePR, was on hand on August 21 to do just this. Here’s her recap of the chat. The August 21 #MeasurePR chat was a fun and lively discussion about a few topics of interest to measurement geeks—including the notorious topic we love to pick apart: Klout.
