Rookie link-building and content outreach mistakes you won’t make twice

I’ve done many, many linking campaigns and have made my share of mistakes.  Based on my experience, I am not sure which campaign was a bigger epic fail: The campaign where all the email I sent went to the trash folder because I used a term associated with spam in the subject line. The fact I launched a huge content campaign the same day Donald Trump was inaugurated. These things happen.  Mistakes are a key ingredient of learning, particularly when it comes to link outreach. You will probably make a lot of mistakes and get very frustrated before you learn how to consistently build links with content. It’s all part of the learning process.

Today Intresting news: Google's Phone app can now automatically filter spam calls

Image
Making life easier for you, Google's Phone app will start blocking out unwanted calls on its own. The Phone app is now capable of automatically filtering out calls detected as spam and sending them to voicemail, The Verge reported. If the app detects the spam call, there won't be any ringing or notification to alert you. It will be filtered without you knowing about it. You can find the filtered calls in the call history. Google is also prepping its Duplex technology -- presented at the Google I/O event in May 2018 -- to roll out for testing this summer in the USA. The technology allows Google Assistant to make phone calls autonomously on behalf of a user to achieve specific tasks like booking a restaurant or making an appointment in a hair salon.
