What is the Nexus Tax?

If you haven’t heard of this Nexus Tax, in short, the new tax bill will allow your state to tax earnings from internet affiliate sales. This is causing outrage because it is causing affiliate networks to terminate affiliate contracts for all affiliate marketers that are living within that state. This means that all internet affiliate earnings can possibly disappear if these affiliate networks move out of the state.

Which States Have Been Affected

Plugin Review: SEO Smart Links Business

Thaya Kareeson

My fellow WordPress plugin developer and friend Vladimir Prelovac recently (more like a couple of months ago) kindly offered me the opportunity to review his SEO Smart Links Business WordPress plugin. I was a bit excited to get my hands on his premium plugin since I have been very impressed with all of his WordPress work thus far (see also Vladimir’s WordPress Plug-in Development book). In this post, I’d like to capture some of my thoughts about his new plugin.

What is SEO Smart Links Business?

Briefly, SEO Smart Links Business aims to help WordPress blog owners improve their blog’s onsite SEO by automatically interlinking posts to each other. The goal of this plugin is to alleviate the pain of having to manage internal content linking. The plugin also comes with a bunch of other tools that you may need to help improve your onsite SEO.
