I often visit your page and have noticed that you don’t update it often. More frequent updates will give
your page higher rank & authority in google. I know that
writing articles takes a lot of time, but you can always help
yourself with miftolo’s tools which will shorten the time of creating an article to a couple of seconds.
Great method and Idea
