Why It’s Time for the Content Marketing Haters to Move On in 2013
"Interesting article. Creating valuable and enriching content for the purpose of marketing has been around forever. I'm a blogger and do lots of content creation and outreach.....that's what blogging is about, a more community focused approach to writing. The term "Content Marketing" is a term that I do not like. I feel it cheapens what is actually going on and makes it appear less than what it actually is. It also doesn't help that low rent SEO's have turned to guest posting as a primary linkbuilding tactic now that the traditional easy routes have been abolished. Content Marketing is here to stay, I only wish we could give it a better terminology."Is It Worth Getting Traffic From Stumbleupon ? The Pros and Cons

"I don't think it's so much the number of plugins but rather the quality of them. If the code is clean, you can have 50 plugins running and not skip a beat. On the other hand, one poorly written plugin can bring your site to a crawl, or just crash it completely. I usually recommend staying with the more mainstream plugins and one's that are actively updated and supported. All you need is one outdated plugin to leave a back door open for hackers or to crash your site when you update to the latest version of WP."Tools To Help You Create A Business Operations Manual -The Small Business Playbook

On-Page SEO vs Off-Page SEO: Which is more important?
"You answered it exactly in your post, they are both important and it's not really SEO if you leave one of them out. I think for the non-seo, the link building aspects is the hard part. Where and how to get links is often lost on the average business owner. Add in the fact that the link building rules are always changing and you can see why people are so confused."
