Yeah, it’s really easy to look up to Jill. That is one smart lady.
Fair points, Andrew, and thanks for pointing these out. Just out of curiosity, how come it seems all your recent posts’ outgoing links are nofollowed (and thanks for leaving dofollow on the comments :D).
Edit: I was about to post this when I decided to check the source first. I thought the outgoing links were nofollowed because they were highlighted by SEO for Firefox (which occurs when links are nofollowed). I see from the source that they’re not though – soemthing to point out to Aaron! I think it’s because the target is blank.
In fact they are nofollowed off the home page but “followed” off the actual post page.
Thanks Andrew for these 2 great resources from Jill Whalen, she is certainly a woman to follow.
