Should Your Company Blog be Outsourced?

Posted by on February 29, 2012 No comments

Ought to your business blog be written in-house or should you outsource the creating of your business weblog? Whilst some companies spend extra unique focus to their blogs, other people seem to have little to no interest in sustaining it regularly. I favor to make a commitment for your company weblog, and keep it as much as date regularly, instead of make it appear like a ghost town. Both you publish regularly or do not have a blog at all.

WordPress Disables Blog Posts with More than 100 Outgoing Links

Posted by on December 23, 2010 No comments

I had an interesting situation today come up, where WordPress.com decided to disable blog posting on my WordPress.com hosted blog because it contained more than 100 outgoing links on a blog post. Apparently WordPress is now cracking down on blogs that have too many outgoing links on blog posts. I do not know if this is a new feature of theirs, or whether they used this as an excuse to have me remove one of my blog posts. I suspect that due to the content I released on that blog post they had received some correspondence from more than one person regarding it so it needed to be removed. I have no problem with that, and quickly removed the blog post. But, just so you know, I do not recommend posting an article that has more than 100 outgoing links. It certainly is not very good for search engine optimization.
