The one thing, however, that I have noticed is that my traffic seemed to have a minor slowdown compared to both July and August 2010.

Why Infographics Matter

Amy Balliett is the co-Founder of Killer Infographics, an infographic design agency in Seattle, Washington. She has been an SEO for many years, and stumbled into infographics as a form of link building in early 2010. Since then, she co-founded Submit Infographics, a user-generated infographic gallery, which led to the creation of Killer Infographics. Killer Infographics has produced over 500 viral infographics since its inception in October 2010.
