#1: How a Search Marketing Agency Went from 0 to $2,500,000 in Revenue in One Year [Interview]
Our most popular post of all time based on share counts is an interview we did with Johnathan Dane, formerly from Disruptive Advertising and currently at KlientBoost.
In the interview, Johnathan shares the steps he and his business partner took to grow Disruptive Advertising from $0 to $2,500,000 in revenue in a single year.
My personal favorite tip is how they used Instagram to share their company culture in order to entice talented PPC managers to apply to work at Disruptive.

In this post, we turned a post Adam Kreitman (a PPC agency owner in St. Louis and a long-time iSpionage customer) originally wrote for the Crazy Egg blog into an infographic that ended up being very well received.
The infographic itself has been shared 269 times, and it explains the most basic yet important AdWords principles in 876 words, which is quite concise, in our opinion.

#8: Are You Bidding on too Many AdWords Keywords?

The result has been higher conversion rates and more conversions. If you’re interested in learning more about what we did, you definitely need to read this post.
