Hey guys! Rachel here from Shedding It & Getting It with a little topic I like to call, “Ain't No Shame In the Game.”

Ain't No Shame in the Game
What can AdWords do for you?
You know those little text ads that show up on Google searches, webpages, and some blogs? You know, like the ad to the right? (It's just a copy of an ad; in a real one you could click the link.) For a long time, I figured these were expensive and off-limits to everyone except companies [...]

Using Twitter to Grow Your Blog
Hi, Health Blog Helper readers! I’m Hallie and my blog is Healthy Twists, where I write about my adventures in cooking, fitness, weight loss and/or maintenance, and sometimes, puppy parenting.
