Perhaps one of the biggest human flaws is that we tend to be a bit impatient. We speed date, eat fast food, use emojis instead of words, pay for overnight shipping, and get started with social media without knowing why or what to expect. I get it.

Some hashtags feel like quaint relics of an internet past. But there’s one throwback hashtag that will never go out of style: #TBT.

It’s the 80/20 rule of content marketing: 80% of results come from 20% of your content. This is true for every website and for every content audit I’ve ever done. A small handful of articles pull in a big percentage of traffic and conversions. Just look at your own data. A report of your top posts by traffic probably looks something like this.
