July PUSH: Celebrating *Natural* Links

This week’s PUSH was not on the last Thursday if July simply because Twitter was down last THUR 🙂

Last week we were talking about natural in-body links. Today’s PUSH chat is the collection of articles using very natural way to link.

Now, we don’t say you should not use bylines. Bylines are huge for author rank and brand building.

However, since most of our users like to self-link from the body, let’s at least see how to do that properly.

(Some of those articles were mentioned during our previous chats but since this PUSH is thematic, we have included them again)
