I am sure that I am not the only one who feels this way but then again, I am also pretty sure that there are a lot of people who disagree. After ...

However, when it comes to branding you should always remember to exert effort to be consistent with the image you wish to portray or you'll end up with confused, turned-off, and/or skeptical readers.

Linkbait: How Much and How Often?

Posted by Guru as Marketing and Search Optimization, Promotion, SEO Features We would all love to be such great bloggers that each and every post would be considered by other bloggers worhty enough to mention and link to. Realistically though it is impossible to come up with a post that hundreds or even just dozens will link back to each and every day.
