New #Books for Your #QuarantineLife

In these strange days of quarantine and isolation, books can be a mode of transport. We may have to stay home and stay still, but through the abiding magic of the written word, we can travel to all kinds of different places. Look, just because it’s corny doesn’t mean it isn’t true.  

New this month: Charlotte McConaghy chronicles a Greenland ocean expedition in Migrations. Nigerian author Akwaeke Emezi takes us to Africa in The Death of Vivek Oji. And Carole Stivers fast-forwards to the year 2049 in The Mother Code. Also: the perils of an open marriage, the dark allure of Hollywood, and a new installment in the Twilight series.

Each month the Goodreads editorial team takes a look at the books that are being published in the U.S., readers’ early reviews, and how many readers are adding these books to their Want to Read shelves (which is how we measure anticipation). We use the information to curate this list of hottest new releases.

Early in my career, one of my editors bluntly declared: “Mate, all cars are shitboxes until proven otherwise.” Around the same time, a veteran colleague offered an alternative take: “I want every car to be great,” he said. “And I’m disappointed if they’re not.”

7 Easy-to-Forget SEO Steps You Need to Consider Every Time You Publish

By: @JerodMorris

JerodMorris400x400It’s easy to forget about the basic SEO steps I’m going to outline below, but they shouldn’t be overlooked.

Because the minute I stop taking them is the minute my content starts attracting fewer targeted visitors. Same goes for you.

So let’s start at the top, because the first one is by far the most important of the seven — and it will take me the longest to explain.

SEO Step #1: Be extra intentional about your SEO title tag

SEO Step #2: While you’re at it, be strategic with your meta description too

SEO Step #3: Decide if your post will need a 301 redirect in the future

SEO Step #4: See if you should add a “noindex” tag
