Thanks! That’s lovely to hear 😀 I use Kit over HubSpot because Kit is far cheaper and provides everything I need. Kit is primarily focused on email marketing, which is what I need it for. HubSpot is an all-in-one platform including CRM, marketing, sales, customer service etc. – I don’t need most of those features. I do also use ConvertBox for my popup forms. My Kit forms should also show up on mobile. Which Kit forms are not showing up on mobile for you? I have double checked this post on my mobile phone and all of them are showing up just fine for me. Or did you mean the popup? If so, I have that set only to exit intent. On mobile, it works when you scroll back up. Hope that helps!

I’m glad I found your site. It’s been super helpful. I was wondering why you chose to use kit forms over hubspot ones? Also, I see that your kit forms on this post show up on desktop but not mobile. What’s the reason for this? I’m trying to figure it out myself so was checking to see how you did it!

There is a great amount of disagreement about this among SEOs. And, in my opinion, this issue has been made far too much of a ‘big issue’ when really I suspect its impact is probably close to zero. As far as I am aware, Google has never said anything about this. And, knowing what I know about Google, I’m pretty sure if they did comment on this they would say (1) It’s a very small thing and there are much bigger things to worry about (2) Do what’s best for your readers. Hope that helps! Eb 🙂

Thank you

For both SEO and for good user experience, you should be linking from your posts to other posts. Links from any post to any other post counts as internal linking. Although links from blog archives and Newer Post and Older Post links ‘technically’ count as internal linking, you need to do more than that – not least from a UX standpoint. Take a look at how I do it on my site. I am constantly showing my readers where they can get more information on the topics I cover. These kind of links will keep people on your site longer, improve your readers’ experience and result in more pageviews – all this will send positive user signals back to Google, which will, in turn, benefit your rankings.

Does this count as internal linking or do I have to add links within the posts themselves? Do the Newer Post and Older Post links count as internal linking?

Good to hear! And yes – you absolutely can and should link to your own products in your blog posts. Google does not have a problem with you dofollow linking to your own products. Eb 🙂

I am just wondering… If you are a business selling products, should your blog only do an internal linking strategy with other blog posts of the same topics or can we link as do follow some blog posts to our products. I am not sure if linking our products goes against Google guidelines

Hi Majoreen, I am sorry I am not sure what you mean? To create internal links you just highlight the text you want to link to, click on the link symbol and type in the URL you want to link to (or just type a keyword in and let WordPress search and suggest links). Is that what you needed to know? If not, please give me a little more detail on what you are unsure about and I will do my best to help! Eb 🙂
