So now I wonder, does the original poster still believe blogging is easy?

I think that it is best if the business just opted into automatic renewal. This way, this problem could have diverted.

Blogging is easy..however...it is like a plant...you constantly have to nurture it - in this case, with relevant and valuable content, and cultivate a following, in order to really see results.

Yes, I totally agree with Jay. Just remember that the prize has to be alluring enough in the first place. :-)

I am wondering what will inspire someone to even sell their template in the first place?

Let say you are creating your first marketing report, what do you include? I recommend adding or focusing on KPI. What do you think?

I also believe that learning SEO is an on-going process and even taking college courses on SEO wont be enough to cover all the new topics that arise.

I never heard the term of a hub page. Do you mean, a landing page or a microsite page?

Thanks for the encouraging words.

It depends. Are you looking for a small digital shop that helps advertising agencies or a business that caters small businesses?

Its interesting that many companies may not take into consideration consumer feedback in due time to optimize their marketing strategy.

Thanks Mackone for bringing up the point about link dilution and how it can adversely affect your site's SEO and SERP ranking on Google.

I agree - stay away from Blackhat techniques as far as possible. Also, I advise you to be on the lookout for any new updates of Google's Best Practices. This way, you know you are abiding by...
