We'll be the first to admit, there is a lot of bad blogging advice out there. We've likely been guilty of it, too.

There are many reasons for why bad advice is a dime a dozen. The landscape changes faster than most can keep up with, established sites have different challenges (and solutions) than those who are starting out, and so many factors work for (and against) each other such that advice that works on Site A may not work at all for Site B even if every other factor was virtually identical.

We could go on.

While these are things we could talk about until we're blue in the face, in this one we want to take a look at the people who give out advice on the internet. Namely, the people who you may want to hesitate before listening to at all.

The weekend of Black Friday through Cyber Monday is one of our favorite times of the year to be a blogger.

First, many bloggers (especially those with US-based audiences) are expected to see a surge in digital advertising spending over the course of the weekend. Second, and more importantly for this article, there are a ton of deals available for bloggers who wish to upgrade their sites!

We've scoured the internet to find some of the best deals bloggers may be interested in and have put together this great guide to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for bloggers in 2023.

Please note: We will be frequently updating this guide over the course of the holiday weekend to capture new deals as they go live. As such, check back regularly as new deals may be added. We did our best to find all applicable terms and conditions when finding these deals, but note that a few were lacking in definitive end dates and all discount terms should be reviewed prior to purchase. Likewise, keep in mind that in many cases Black Friday deals are often for new subscribers in the first sale only. Those that require annual renewals may revert back to the original rate and that is worth confirming prior to your subscription end date.

Google has (seemingly) been making E-E-A-T a bigger and bigger metric with each passing algorithm update.

Gone are the days where you simply can publish whatever you want, for any reason, and possibly rank. Today, Google wants to see many signals to rank you, including why you deserve to rank. That is to say, why are you qualified to write about the content to begin with.

So we thought we'd break down what E-E-A-T is in simple terms and then drop a bombshell you may not like- particularly around the Expertise element of E-E-A-T.

Unfortunately, in this particular instance, it is important to be the expert and not just an expert. This distinction matters.

When my business credit card expired, I had a moment of panic simply because I didn't know what recurring subscriptions I had set up for my blog that were hitting that card. My concern was that if I forgot one I would miss a payment and, perhaps, lose access to a much-needed service, domain registration, or something else entirely.

After taking a few moments, and a few deeper breaths, I started the process of putting together a list of all of the places where that credit card was being used. What resulted was a list of all of my blog subscriptions, and having this one on hand gave me more peace of mind.

So in this one, I thought I'd share more about what kind of subscriptions you may want to track, relevant information you may want to log, and why all of this is important at all!
