I recently started using link cloaking on my sites to prevent link hijacking and stripping. I was about to sign on with a new advertiser. I am glad I thoroughly read their terms of service, which prohibits link cloaking and masking.

Hello everyone!Thanks for dropping by! I have spent the weekend working on my blog and trying to follow the recommendations of my WA followers. I would love to know if the changes I made have helped or hindered the appearance and usability of my site. This is what I did (and hope it will achieve): Disabled many of my plugins (load the site faster) Got rid of the floating Social Button (make my site less annoying) Increased the size of my font (12 px to 14 px) and changed it from Times New

Before joining Wealthy Affiliate, a friend introduced me to pinterest. I really enjoy the site. I found that my blogs were receiving a lot of traffic from my own pins and the pins of others.

The day after I installed adsense to my blog, I get a lovely form-message saying that I can no longer use it on my blog. My blog is fairly new, so I added some posts that were based purely on personal experience relevant to my niche- all G rated and not plagiarized.
