If you use social media networks to publish your content, you should realize that one title or headline won’t have the same click-power as others. And, even if it’s effective now, it doesn’t mean it’ll be click worthy a month or so down the road.

Although Google’s newest algorithm update had to do with Penguin (website links), Panda is something you should also be paying attention to.

Lovely pastel. I read the article, which I'll admit is mostly greek to me, but I think I get the general ideas.

Nice to meet you Samuel, adorable! I didn't know that about the text thing, I learned something new!
