📂 Going shirtless for clicks (yes, really!)

​

​

​

Today's newsletter is proudly supported by Dofollow πŸŽ‰

In an era where content creation is easier than ever, content authority is the key to ranking high and maximizing SEO. And despite what the Threadbois will tell you, backlinks are still king. That's why I'm excited to partner with Dofollow as my go-to recommendation for sourcing high-quality backlinks. Going from the bottom of page 1 to the top can be the difference of thousands of dollars in MRR. And with so many shady SEO practitioners out there, I'm glad to have a trustworthy team I can confidently recommend. Make sure to mention "Corey" or "Swipe Files."

​

How far would you go for clicks?

It's rare to stumble across an actually scroll-stopping social post these days.

That's exactly what this tweet from SparkToro CEO, Rand Fishkin, did though.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Did he really just post a video of him shirtless to get people to integrate an analytics service with their platform?"

Yes, he really did.

And I commend him for it.

Honestly, what's the harm?

He's keeping it interesting on the internet. I'm tired of the same ol' stale B2B stuff.

Let's have fun with it. Push the boundaries a little. Lighten up.

Kudos to you, Rand. πŸ’ͺ
