Well, it’s time to break out the #MondayMashup series once again. I took a break from it for a couple months because there was a lot of things to do, and plus, I’ve kind of suffered this winter with on and off bouts of sickness. It’s pretty typical.
So, what is #MondayMashup? Well, it’s where I got around the blogosphere and pick up a few great articles to share with you in hopes you may learn something. I stick to picking from blogs in the following niche: Blogging, Social Media, SEO, and Web Design. It’s important to keep on top of your niche, and reading is a huge part of it. Sure, you can fake your way through and pull a bunch of crud together, but eventually, you’d be called out on it.
This roundup makes it easier for you. I encourage you to also expand your resources by doing a search.

A handy article (and timely) from Joast, was talking about this at a conference yesterday as it’s useful when you have a eCommerce site. Will check out the other links, thanks for the mashup 🙂
My goodness Nile,
This is priceless references. I have read them and they are full of more than one could imagine. I find it easy to make my blog and activities grow my contacts. That is the important part of my company gaining more awareness. It brings people who are looking for our free support, all together.
Most of us have been unaware how important keeping updated is. You have made me realize to keep at the minimal my 2 social locations with my professional one. I find it far more productive in my time and growth.
Thank you for keeping me and all your readers updated with more solid references. Using them like a library of supportive contacts.
Thanks Nile, I went through the blogging links and they were pretty informative. Nice pick! Will certainly go through the other links when i get some time! Keep updating 🙂
Glad to see the mashup back again!
Some great information in there. Some new and some old, but of the type which we sometimes need to be reminded of!
Thanks Nile
