Pro Tip: adding a general post to the community and linking to your website won’t help your SEO.

Not only is the link set to no referrer, it will get removed from your post.

For the most part, I believe we are all here to learn from each other, ask questions and get answers, among all the other amazing benefits of the HubSpot Community. This is a community I’m very grateful to be a part of and am always excited to see new faces.

There are a lot of people coming to the community to learn about SEO and how to improve their websites - there is SO much good advice going around from amazing, highly qualified experts it is UNREAL!

Instead of writing a post asking for general help about your website, review the other posts and start trying to narrow down where you could use the most help - asking a specific, relevant question will get you the best advice.

Adding links here doesn’t help your SEO and won’t help you get better. The Community Managers have done an incredible job of building an amazing community, don’t create unnecessary work for them.

@kvlschaefer I didn’t mean to turn this around on me, appreciate your kind words!

I know it is probably wishful thinking that the same people who write those types of posts would actually read this post, but I just feel like someone had an idea for building HubSpot backlinks or getting clicks that spread through some dark web slack channel…

:clap::clap: preach! :clap::clap:

This Community is so generous and helpful. Like you said @Jnix284 we’re surrounded by some of the best minds in marketing. So many threads already have great advice, that being general in a question isn’t nearly as helpful to others as being specific.
