Make Sure That Your Content Is On Your Site
I noticed a discussion on LinkedIn today about whether you blogs URL should look like this www.myblog.blogspot.com or like this www.mydomain.com/blog.

My New Business Cards

They wanted to exchange links with me. “Please consider adding our link to your site on your page: https://lillicotch.com/Blog/2008/02/28/add-additional-income-to-your-site/” For those of you who don’t have blogs, when you allow visitors to post on your site you will get blog spam.
