I am ready to proclaim that 2016 will be the Year of Mobile. Don’t worry—I’m only kidding. Quite frankly, if I hear someone actually proclaim that—and I know if I Google “Year of Mobile,” I’ll find plenty of articles in my search results—I will bang my head against the nearest wall until it is stricken from my memory. In other words, enough already with the “(Insert Year here) will be the year of mobile” nonsense.

I’ve discovered that I am really lazy. Put me on a beach and I’ll zombie for hours. I eat snacks instead of cooking real food (cold baked beans straight from the tin, anyone?) but invite me to yours for dinner and I’m THERE. Most mornings I’m too lazy to chew food so I’ll drink a healthy smoothie. Straight out of my Vitamix jug with a straw (so I don’t need to lift it to my mouth and it saves on washing up).

Happy Saturday, ProBlogger readers! I’ve had a bumper week rounding these tips and newsbites up for you. The Pinterest stuff is extra useful if you’ve seen a drop in traffic referral from there, and I found vlogger Jim Chapman’s tips to be very interesting… it’s always nice to hear that even the big guns suffer from a little self-doubt.

Watch a video walkthrough of Facebook Canvas here… Facebook Canvas is a pretty amazing way to provide users an immersive, mobile experience through ads. How do I describe what these things are for people who haven’t seen them before? Well, they’re similar to Instant Articles , which allow publishers to share their content in an instantaneous fashion, bypassing slow load times.

In the social space, there’s a lot of talk about “community.” We hear it all the time and, rightly so; because community is just that important. Like Rome, however, a community can’t be built in a day. It takes effort and time; two elements that many companies and businesses don’t want to invest in. But community is a funny thing; you’re either all in, or you’re out.

A discerning reader has probably spotted the potential oxymoron in the very title of this post. Namely, if you’re a devotee of the theory that a natural link by definition is completely organic, the logical question to ask is: Is there a way to influence the generation of natural links other than by creating awesome content? (highlight to tweet). To answer this, we’ll need to delve deeper into the very definition of natural backlinks.

A week after after giving my email address to the Democratic and Republican candidates for U.S. President, I shared screenshots from their welcoming responses. Campaign staffers for Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz wrote me hello. Rubio wrote me three times that day. Of note, Ben Carson didn’t send me anything.
