If you're a decent human being, you always honor a pinky promise. For the uninitiated, a pinky promise is usually between two people and it holds more weight than a spit shake, legal contract, verbal agreement, and "I swear on my [insert family member]" statements combined.

Because Instagram was designed as a visual medium, it’s hard to know just how much the captions actually matter. Sure, you can write up to 2,200 characters in your caption… but should you? After all, a great caption doesn’t just describe what’s happening in the photo. It’s your chance to express yourself to your followers and (hopefully) drive engagement in the process.

SEO is a complex game full of surprises. Even with best intentions, it’s possible to invest in your SEO only to have your site penalized by a Google algorithm update or manual action. If you notice your website traffic suddenly drop or your position in the SERP ranking falling, your site may have been a victim of a Google penalty. Fixing these penalties should be a top priority, as a drop in your search engine ranking can result in lost customers and lost sales.
