I’m also working on figuring out how to build my email subscription list because I’ve got some good ideas for what to do with it once it’s built up. Thanks again!

No, not all you. You WANT to link out and to sites that provide value to your audience

If u reference a topic or a recipe or place/thing that could naturally be more defined for the reader, link out accordingly.

Problems arise when you link out sitewide with footer links, badges, or with affiliate partner links that bleed authority out and provide no value except to the linked partner.

What Bjork is talking about is just making sure that you think FIRST about the user.

If u can naturally link out within your content to a resource, site, example, or guide that helps expand topical awareness for the user do it. And do it often.

Thank you. Lots of good ideas. This has got me thinking. What are your thoughts on giveaways / contests? Are they beneficial in driving traffic?

I’ve popped my sign up form with a clear call to action, smack bang in the middle of my home page now, and since I’ve done that, subscribers have been so much better. Thanks for all you do in this space!

Like this series for registering your physical store locations… the content is out there but most of my customers just don’t know where to start. So this is one way I help them – and of course if they need assistance I can setup everything for them (my consultant business). Not as glamorous as a food blog but I do hope to one day get enough income to help small companies 24/7 – well maybe 24/5.
Here is the example: http://www.zebdiel.com/2015…

Yep. I’d do both. You’ll need to give people a good reason to get to your blog in the first place.
