I Built this Killer Rails site, Now What?

We all know building web apps with Rails is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but once you’ve launched, the battle has just begun. With any luck, I’ll be able to help answer questions concerning how you can actually get people to show up, and more importantly, how to keep them happy once they’ve gotten there.

I’ll be covering topics such as:

• Analyzing traffic trends
• Gaining Google Love through SEO
• Monetizing with AdSense
• Optimizing for faster page loads
• Caring for the community
• Managing the bug queue
• Battling Bureaucracy
