This is a test post. It is testing the following:
Last week I wrote one of the most popular blog posts I’ve ever written—my post about the future of DVD rentals. It was favoured when measured not only by the statistics, but also by the feedback I received.
What really made me realise people appreciated the post was the number of comments I received about it offline (you know you’ve hit the big leagues when people bring up your blog post in person!). A few examples include:
Humour me with a quick experiment: run a Google search for the keywords “yd refund” or “yd refund policy“. If your search results are anything like mine, you’ll see a blog post written by Adam Jaffrey on 8 Jan 2010 in the top few results (it’s called Start your complaints at the top | by Adam Jaffrey).
My blog post ranks higher than Yd’s website in Google Search.

Sorry I haven’t been around lately. I’ve been busy with a lot of things and have been trying to figure out how to transfer this blog over to the WordPress CMS.
Stay tuned! I’ll be back with some more regular posts soon…
Okay, so I’m one day late on the anniversary of my blog. Deal.

It was merely 6 months ago that I purchased the domain http://whoisadamjaffrey.com/ and posted my 1st blog post. Way back on December 7th, 2009 I posted the goal of my blog, being:
My Goal:
To provide a current, relevant and interesting analysis of Marketing, Entrepreneurial, Technological & Current Affairs topics.
To do this I will keep posts to a minimal length, and only write about thought provoking topics. These will generally be inspired by other blogs, podcasts & my own observations.
I believe that 6 months (and 24 blog posts) later I’ve made many inroads into this. However, I still need to work on keeping my”posts to a minimal length“!

So, on the 6 month anniversary of Who Is Adam Jaffrey?, I wanted to say a massive thank you to those who’ve ever read my blog; and an even bigger thank you to those who’ve commented and provided feedback. As a young blogger, it’s not easy to continue to pump out regular, insightful (well, I think) content when you don’t know who/if anyone is reading!
Please, leave a comment here to let me know who you are, why you read my blog and any feedback you have.

Welcome to my 1st blog post.
My name is Adam Jaffrey (as the URL suggests) and I reside in the suburb of Nunawading, which is in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne VIC, Australia. I’m a Commerce/Science student studying at Monash University in Clayton VIC, Australia. I’m currently planning to pursue my major studies in marketing, which backs up my very strong sales background.
This blog serves as a point of contact to me for potential employers, other marketers, entrepreneurs & the like. That’s why http://whoisadamjaffrey.com seemed an appropriate domain choice.
Before beginning, I’d like to acknowledge a trap of the blogosphere:
Blogging. Never before have so many people with so little to say said so much to so few.
My goal for this blog is:
To provide a current, relevant and interesting analysis of marketing, entrepreneurial, technological & current affairs topics.
To do this I will keep posts to a minimal length, and only write about thought provoking topics. These will generally be inspired by other blogs, podcasts & my own observations.
Feel free to email me any suggestions.
Enjoy!
