I've pretty much laid it all out for you, Step by Step....

Now, I've had some bloggers email me about a major roadblock they've encountered in recent weeks.
The problem is with Google.
Ironically, Google is also the solution.
Here's what I mean.
Starting 2 months ago, Google started penalizing blogs that aggressively try to get email opt-ins on their blogs.
So, one big problem is this…
If you have a blog that hits people with lots of pop-ups telling them to sign up for your email list…
Google will de-rank your blog in the "mobile search results."
If you have one of those big "welcome mat" pages that people land on… and have to scratch their heads trying to figure out how to get to your blog…
Google will de-rank your blog in the "mobile search results."
If people see nothing but a "join my email list" header that takes up most of your blog "above the fold" (that means, what readers see before they start scrolling)…
Google will de-rank your blog in the "mobile search results."
So why do I say Google is helping you to build your list?
Simple.
Google only hates those methods because they have found that their readers hate them.
Especially on mobile devices.
And, BTW… some 60% of website hits now come from mobile!
So don't tell me you don't care about mobile.
Hey, it doesn't even matter if you don't own a smart phone…
Your Readers Do.
And increasingly, and in a big way, they're searching for blogs like yours from their mobile devices vs. their computers.
So, do you really want to make their lives miserable when they find your blog?
Do you really think they'll be in a nice mood to join your list when they get derailed by all the hoops you put them through?
Google has done bloggers a great service with this new algorithm update.
So take the hint.
Google puts trillions of bucks into researching what their readers want.
PS: "Their readers" translates into "your readers."
So be thankful you don't have to pay for all that market research and just reap the rewards.
Simplify your blog design.
Stop with all the annoying pop ups and big splash pages.
You'll actually get more subscribers.
Talk Soon,

PS: Here's exactly how you can increase the size of your list in just 20 minutes a day. (no-cost method, just roll up your sleeves).
