Are You Ready To Take Your Blog to the Next Level
"Hi Martin, You've been blogging for over 12 years? Congratulations! Most of us don't make it that long. I've been blogging for 4 years now and I'm at the same point that your are - entering the packaging page. If you don't mind my asking, how many blogs do you have? I still only have the one but I have all these ideas. :)"Are You Ready To Take Your Blog to the Next Level
"Martin, All I can say is "Wow!". Do you aim to provide fresh content to most of them? What sort of blogging schedule do you have? I confess that the main reason I haven't started new blog is the thought of providing new content. Then again, I have a tough time writing short posts."How Can You Get Started With SEO
"Hi Heather, I was just experimenting to see what my post would look like in the SERPs. I doubt very much if anyone would search on those 4 exact words but I wanted to make sure that I would be able to see it on the first page. (That way, I could quickly get back to writing my post.) My article (on my blog) appeared as the 10th result but the same article (that I shared on Scoop.It) ranked second. One take-away that I got from this is that: ScoopIt and social shares from influencers (like Pam Moore and Adrienne Smith) have a high potential of ranking high in the search engines. Another take-away is that 2 of the 4 keywords that I was focusing on (Google and SERP) were highlighted in the SERP snippet. I always try to incorporate my main keywords in both my title and the meta-description of my post and (at least in this case) Google pulled both of them into the search results. One note is that I searched for a recent post of a blogging friend of mine. He blogs about “financial freedom” but I don’t believe he uses Google authorship or meta-tags. In the SERPS, Google pulled the image from his post (rather than his profile pic) and the snippet was about a “mango vendor” in “Thailand” (the caption of the post). That tells a lot. (I’ve made him aware of this.)"How Can You Get Started With SEO
"Hi Heather, I just realized that I replied to your 2 questions but I posted it as a new comment. So, you may never have seen it!

"I completely agree Val. I strongly believe that if you're not adding some sort of value, you probably shouldn't bother commenting at all. I know a lot of people sincerely want to help you out by leaving a comment but sometimes they may not be able to think of something to say. That's why I always end my posts with a couple of questions. That way, if they want to comment and need a little nudge, they have something that they have something that they can reply to. Another tip that I pass on (that most of us really appreciate) is to let the blogger know how you found their blog in the first place. So, a reader can always leave a comment letting the blogger know how they found them in the first place. If you found them through another blogger, that's giving them a shout out too. Win-Win-Win! Thanks for taking the time to comment."Subscribe

Want To Improve Your Social Media Game? Friday Finds
"Hi Heather, I agree that our bio is part of our brand and we definitely need to communicate the value we offer and the problems that we solve. Rebekah suggests incorporating that into our story. She also stresses that social networks are designed to reach specific markets. We need to keep that in mind when we tweak our bio for the different sites. We have to communicate the value we add to that specific market. Thanks for adding that."
