Blog RuVDS. Digest of posts and our results of the year
Sometimes it is useful to delve into yourself - this allows you to find something that you usually do not pay attention to. And then decompose, structure, draw conclusions about what to do next - what to do and what not.
Today we decided to delve into our blog: to analyze the results of two years of work, to share our experience with you - all of a sudden it will be useful to some of you.
All further calculations are based on the analysis of the XLS-file with information about all blog posts, which can be exported to the control panels of the corporate blog - thanks to Habr for this opportunity.

We started blogging in March 2016 and by now we have 239 publications, three more are hidden in drafts.
During the first (2016) year, we published 72 publications, of which 58 (80%) gained a positive rating and 14 (20%) - negative. In general, our first year turned out to be more experimental and was aimed at “groping” the interests of the audience, studying the mechanisms of the site, the formats of publications and the understanding of what is “coming” and what is not. 5 accounts took part in stuffing the cones, some of which received certain karma injuries :)
In 2017, the soil turned out to be more fruitful and 170 publications appeared in our blog, of which only one (0.58%) turned out to be with a negative rating. All of them were placed from one account, the rating of which at the moment would allow it to be in 1st place among users (if it were not for the fact that Habr removed from the rating of users all those who have the same login or similar to the company name).
If we subtract the whole weekend in a year, then the average rate is obtained - one publication per day, sometimes we take a day to catch our breath. We believe that with such a pace we are not very annoying to readers) and for ourselves this rhythm is quite comfortable and compatible with the main work. We didn’t draw any obvious conclusions in terms of the best publication time, so we simply try to post the material until 12 o'clock in the afternoon - when it’s most convenient to respond to comments.
Given the combination of factors, this allowed us to confidently stay in the TOP-10 blogs for a year, with quite long stays in the TOP-5 (we are 4th at the time of publication) and once in the 1st place (for a couple of days).
Bitcoin rate repeats the schedule of our company's blog ranking for 2 years:
The main part of our publications are translations. Why? It's simple: we don’t want to write articles about all kinds of promotions and other sales, it’s long and difficult to write big useful articles by employees, to write posts by other authors is long, difficult, also expensive, and the result is always unknown. While with translations everything is simpler - all the material is immediately visible, it is possible to evaluate its benefit and, if it has not yet been translated, to translate it relatively quickly, which is again simpler and cheaper in terms of work. So infinite respect to those companies that write in a blog often and only unique content are usually quite large companies, so we hope that when we become the same, we can also afford to have a staff of authors for blogging on Habré :) For yourself we found several directions that are interesting to the Habr audience (and our services are perfect for this audience). They are easy to see by analyzing the hubs to which we most often write:
In total for our publications for 2 years 7255 votes were given.
It can be seen that, by all indications, our blog is growing (or this Habr is growing, and we are with it).

In 2017, the most enjoyable from the translation of a series of articles about Bash. It was a really big cycle, really complex in terms of layout, really useful for a huge number of users. It is not surprising that one of the posts of this cycle became a champion (by the number of additions to favorites) not only in our blog, but also on Habré as a whole (more precisely, it has the third place , and the second place on the same criterion was taken by our other post, about useful tricks to work with the Linux console). Following the results, we even released a PDF version of the translation cycle.
In the new year we will try to make our blog even better and even more useful for you - if you have any specific wishes, write in comments or in personal messages. And at the same time, we are trying to pump our company’s services, to which we give the habrahabr10 promo code to all Habrawers at a 10% discount on our virtual servers.
The other day we posted a post with a competition for a burgers recipe , where we promised to choose two winners: the author of the most acclaimed burger recipe and the coolest recipe author of the burger heroes. The winners are:
Subrisk - not so much suggested a recipe, how ironically beat the appetites of Android-smartphones, taking the main prize and the powerbank for it into a burger:
He gets a prize - Huawei P10 Lite smartphone
SSvetlana - the recipe of this user was chosen by our partners from BurgerHeros:
" Twitty Burger" - wheat bun, chicken cutlet, cheese (like cheder), pink grapefruit pulp (separate slices from films, disassemble into small segments) mix with natural yoghurt sauce (natural yoghurt, salt, olive oil) or mayonnaise the sauce
Burger "Chilli Willie" - cereal bun, cheese sauce with the addition of thyme, sardines, pieces of white grapes
Burger "Lola Bunny" - cereal bun, apple-carrot cutlet (carrot, apple, milk, egg, butter, semolina), cream cheese, pine nuts, arugula, honey-mustard sauce (flower honey, grain Dijon mustard, salt pepper). "
Svetlana gets a prize - a virtual server for 6 months from the company RUVDS with a CPU configuration of 3 * 3.4 GHz, RAM 3 GB, SSD 60 GB.
All contestants will also receive edible prizes - free coupons for tasting the burger at Burger Heroes in February.
