I guess having some clear guidance about the subject nature of a given echo would help eh?

It's not an obsession. From my POV this is really the first time I have time and agency to revisit things since May 2021 and am taking a good look at if the extra echos added generated traffic and if so how much etc. to gauge success of them.

At the time I added them it was an experiment to see how much uptake etc. they would garner. I've been looking at some stats and in a number of cases the numbers are not overly high but I'll share that data by separate post.
