They’re not necessarily A-list bloggers, and they’re chuffed enough to post an article with a link to Blekko and Blekko gear. With limited time in the day and countless startups appearing in my RSS feed that get filed for the mythical ‘when I get some spare time’, that visual reminder makes all the difference.

If you write for a lot of different websites like I do, whether it is as a guest blogger or freelance writer , then you have probably struggled with finding a way to share your latest posts from all of those sites with your audience. When you get to your author page, look for an RSS feed link.

However, what I see many bloggers do, newbie bloggers in particular, is not really knowing how to use the resources Kristi and so many other bloggers provide to maximize their link building efforts. And yes, you need a mixture of both Dofollow and Nofollow links, because that’s what natural link building looks like.

I want ViperChill to become one of the top marketing blogs in the world and to do that I need to write better articles (at least in my opinion) than any other blogger in this industry. If you want people to stick around on your site and give them everything they need, then Adsense is probably not the best monetisation strategy for you.

If you are like me and usually make typos, or don’t like how the final content is displayed, pausing feed publication is useful.

The title is the most important part of your blog post as it gets shared on social media and helps feed readers decide whether a post is worth clicking through to read.
