SEO is a Fusion of Relevance and Authority #

"As long as there is a need for search engine optimization, the core elements will always be Relevance and Authority, and it's important for us to understand what these mean."

Don’t use email software or webmail accounts to send marketing emails #

"Email software and webmail services are designed to send email. They are not designed to send marketing email to large lists of addresses."
