  9. You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation however I to find this topic to
    be really one thing that I believe I would by no means
    understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely huge for me.
    I’m looking ahead on your next submit, I will attempt to get the hold of it!

  10. With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism
    or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it
    looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you
    know any ways to help protect against content from being ripped off?

    I’d certainly appreciate it.
