PSA: Don't forget to add links to your posts

Just a quiet PSA to remind folks to include links in your posts when you're talking about YouTube channels, Facebooks, web sites, or just about anything else (even stuff on this site!).

I know we all have these wonderful Google machines at our fingertips, but tossing a link into your post is a simple matter of copy/paste and it makes a BIG difference to the people reading your post. Especially if you're trying to get someone to go somewhere (like your YouTube channel), make sure you include a link!

Not to ramble on, but the majority of visitors on this site are on their phone, and it's a lot easier to just click a link than it is open new browsers and apps on a tiny screen to search.

Yes, just sharing anything helpful is the first step but don't stop there...try to make it easy for people. They'll be happy, you'll be happy, we'll all be happy.

Good point about the mobiles. I was surprised how many of my YT views are from a mobile device, I kind of forget cause I'm mainly in front of my computer


  • Same here. I'm a desktop/laptop computerizer but stats for this site have only 30% on desktop. Now...those 30% could be the regulars, like you and me, but still, that means 70% are coming here for something on their phone. Mobile-first, my friends. — redlinederby
