Weekly Links Roundup – Hiding Email Addresses, SEO Techniques, Blogging, Instagram

This week’s WordPress and web marketing links.

This question still comes up occasionally… if you want to display an email address on your website, can you keep it from being ‘harvested’ by spam bots? Yes, you can.

I was sent this infographic on 11 SEO techniques and strategies you should be using today. It’s a good list, and very practical. You’re probably doing a lot of them already.

Did you notice that part in the infographic about building in-depth, high-quality content?

Done-for-you blogging can help you get your business blog off the ground and the benefits for your business can be big!
