How We Bootstrapped Our SaaS Startup to Ramen Profitability

Tip: add a link somewhere on your blog to https://canny.io. I had to manually enter the URL in a new tab to look at your site. For some strange reason many blogs forget to include a link to the Real Thing.

This drives me nuts. I don't understand why it's so commonly missed.

Lol yes. I've often seen the logo on a blog post link to the blog homepage rather than the product homepage. Sort of defeats the purpose of the blog post (which is presumably to drive traffic to the product)!

On the contrary, if I'm done reading a blog post and I want to read more from that blog, it infuriates me to no end when clicking the logo on the top sends me to a product landing page and I have to hunt around to find my way back to the blog.

The click that goes to the product landing page is more valuable than the click that goes to the blog main page.

I've noticed the same thing. It seems common enough that maybe there is a valid reason (rather than it simply being an oversight)?

Probably just because it is the default when setting up the blog.

Also, make sure that there is a clickable home page link easily visible in any email you send, whether promotional or merely informative. Even places like Amazon and eBay get this wrong in some contexts.
