WebHostingBuzz: Great Support But How Is Their Web Hosting?

A long-time JobMob sponsor, so should you use their web hosting service? Thank you to WebHostingBuzz for being a Gold Sponsor for the 6th Annual JobMob Guest Blogging Contest. In this article, my assistant Matthew takes an honest look at WebHostingBuzz. Like many things on the Internet these days, I find it hard to know where to start when it comes to web hosting. There is always such a vast array of options thrust in my general direction, and with limited ‘lingo’ at my disposal, trying to decipher my way to the best service is like an English person asking a foreigner for directions. Far too often when I visit web hosting sites, I feel as though they have been designed for people who already know everything about the intricate workings of the World Wide Web, and perhaps I am wasting my time even contemplating joining in on ‘their game’. Often I simply decide to put ‘that new blog’ off for another six months, and return to the relative safety net of reading other people’s work, and marveling out how simple it all looks. It’s all rather pathetic. When WebHostingBuzz became our Gold Sponsor, I set off once more on a quest of comprehension.

MyBlogGuest: A Great Tool For Growing Your Blogging

Handy for bloggers and bloggers-to-be. Thank you to MyBlogGuest for being a Silver Sponsor in The 6th Annual JobMob Guest Blogging Contest, the second year in a row that they've sponsored the contest. Please support them too! If you need help creating quality content for your blog (or a client's), or want exposure by guest posting on other blogs, MyBlogGuest is a must-use platform. To explain why in detail, site founder Ann Smarty furnished this introduction to her site: There comes a time when even the most successful blogger has to admit that they need a boost. Whether it is in reputation management or branding, content can only get you so far. To really make an impact, you need to have a platform from which to expand and grow, something best accomplished through networking. Why is that? Networking with other writers or blog owners, and sharing content between the two, is a quick shot in the arm for any blog. It drives new traffic, connects you to a new reader base and can even just give you a much needed break when you are burnt out blogging.

6 Reasons You Need A Smartphone To Job Search

Why every job search should be a mobile job search.
