I have to admit being gone for 3 weeks has hurt my Klout score my Empire score and our blog traffic. Does it bother me? Sure it does I would be lying if I said it didn’t. Was I expecting this huge amount of a drop? No. However, with that said I still think you should take a look at this post “If You’re Getting Frustrated with Social Networking, This is For YOU!” This 3 weeks hiatus has given me cause for concern and as you all know we love sharing the good, bad & ugly with our readers. I would love any suggestions you may have about stepping away from the grid for a long stretch… anyone?
