Recently, I was enjoying my lunch break and catching up on Twitter activity, when I came across an article on Search Engine Journal called, “15 Places You Should Be Sharing Your Blog Posts (Other Than Facebook And Twitter).” Naturally, I had heard of several of the platforms mentioned and in fact, utilize many of them. However, I had not yet made myself familiar with StumbleUpon. This article enticed my curiosity and I decided to start stumbling.
There are places to share your blog content, other than Facebook and Twitter! Because these are the most popular social media platforms, sometimes marketers get into a routine of posting there and only there. Why wouldn’t you strive to publish on a site that claims to be the front page of the internet? That’s right. I am talking about Reddit.
It’s that time again! I am busy, busy, busy! However, I found this infographic to be filled with relevant SEO information and decided it was worth sharing. This infographic explores the top 8 practices we are seeing in SEO for 2015. It discusses the: importance of keyword conversational phrases, ROI, HTTPS security transitions, content as king, social media shares, brand mentions for link building, mobile friendly (responsive) websites and visual elements and their importance to your content.
As a writer, one of the most unfortunate experiences I have dealt with is, feeling like you have written pure gold, but not having an audience to appreciate it. It can become frustrating when you have poured your heart, soul, research and knowledge, into a project without receiving any feedback or social shares. It might leave you questioning, Why aren’t people reading my blog?
