There's no social sharing buttons that I can see - might be worth adding?
There's no human face of Hubspot on the page. Maybe get a quote from a high ranking Hubspot employee on why I should get this ebook and why it matters for my site.
@ElizavetaNv Thanks for responding at least - I just think with the amount of content out there these days you've got to give me something absolutely mind blowing / inventive to get my email address ... maybe I'm being harsh, but I think lots of people, marketers especially, would agree.
Nice mini site but I don't feel there's enough value there for me to hand over my email.
What's the benefit of downloading your list over the (thousands of) more substantial blog posts out there then I can access without handing over my email?
I want to learn to code - it's just finding the time!
Basic HTML and CSS I can deal with - but Java onwards I get a little confused.
I've been working through some stuff on CodeAcademy - which is great - but consistently completing the lessons in the small amount of time I've got is fairly tough.
But I'll keep at it.
In my opinion, even if a skill isn't essential for your current projects, it's always a good idea to add things to your skill set at every opportunity. Just my 2c!
Certainly something I'll print off for quick reference.
One thing I would say though - advising people to use the meta keywords tag these days is, in my opinion, a big foolish. They tend to be completely overstuffed. There's not any benefit to be had from them really. I've started telling people just not to use them as they're too dangerous for someone who isn't entirely confident in what they're doing.
There's no denying that content adhering to these guidelines is the stuff that's ranking at present, especially for smaller brands.
In my opinion it's starting to raise the bar in terms of how difficult it is for smaller brands to rank.
Creating outstanding content takes time and lots of expertise. Some small businesses lack one or the other! If they do, it can be difficult to compete with content marketing.
Hi Everyone!
Here are my links:
Twitter
Linkedin
G+
Facebook
Let me know if you've followed me anywhere and I'll be happy to follow you back!
Probably move the video to above the fold, replacing the graphic that is there at the moment.
I love the graphic, but looks like there's a bit of attention on the video.
Perhaps have the video followed immediately by the main 'Learn How' button.
Looks like a clean enough landing page.
There's a couple of things I would mention.
- There's no social sharing buttons that I can see - might be worth adding?
- There's no human face of Hubspot on the page. Maybe get a quote from a high ranking Hubspot employee on why I should get this ebook and why it matters for my site.
Just my initial thoughts looking at it.Thanks for the round up!
Some great stuff which I've already read through the week.
Hopefully I can shamelessly self post my latest blog post here too?
3 Powerful Twitter Lists You Should Set Up Today
Thanks for the roundup guys!
Hi Paul
I don't really have a question - I just wanted to say keep up the good with with r/BigSEO - It's awesome!
Thanks
Sam

It's something I've thought about a lot.
I want to learn to code - it's just finding the time!

I still use them but noindex any tag URLs.
They're useful for users, but make for terrible landing pages (Unless you customise them really well).
Can also cause lots of duplicate content -be very wary if you're using them!
Very well written! Will be bookmarking this to come back to at some point for a couple of clients we're working with at the moment.
Thanks for the share.
Thanks Tom.
I was thinking more along the lines of Negotiation, Sales Techniques, Public Speaking?
But learning more about PR is definitely a good shout.
Thanks Tom!
Thanks for doing the AMA guys!
I'll be honest and say I've only used DistilledU when the free days have been on, but I found them incredibly useful when I have had access to them.
The one question I wanted to ask is:
As a digital marketer, what's the one non-digital skill should I learn?
I'm thinking about ways to take my career further by adding different things to my skill set that might differentiate me from the competition.
Thanks for your answer!
For everyone as a whole:
What is your vision for Inbound.org in 2015.
Name 3 milestones that you would love to hit, preferably that this excellent community can help you out with!
Cool checklist @Nicca619.
Certainly something I'll print off for quick reference.

Other than that - great resource!
Thanks for this Ed - Seems like a fantastic way to get more sharing taking place in the community!
I've written this blog post this month which I think many in the inbound.org community would find useful!
http://inbound.org/articles/view/answering-questions-with-content-marketing
Didn't get many upvotes on my first submission - think I may have mistimed it.
It's a form of content marketing that I've used with great success in the past.
Might be common knowledge to a lot of Inbound members - but it's certainly something worth drawing attention to!
Fantastic post this from @CyrusShepard.

Great post though - Really interesting stuff!
Might sound silly but are you running the program as an administrator in Windows?
Are you going through a proxy or anything?
How many levels is the crawl set to?
My thoughts exactly Mark - I'm going to cynically suggest we've got a 'crew' of people upvoting this.
Not what I expect to see as one of the most popular posts on Inbound!
Another mention for Buzzstream.
I'm a big fan and it works so well for client reporting in terms of outreach and actual links secured.
No worries Lisa - Thank the guys @ ConvinceAndConvert!
