RE: Communities vs. Blogs

in #seo21 hours ago (edited)

I think the overall answer could be that 'green' content that will forever gain search engine traffic should be posted on personal blogs; everything else should be optional. The bad part about that is the site is the only one that benefits from articles after seven days, so it might be a hard sell versus being a piece of community content that might attract new subscribers over time on the chain itself.

Enable following of tags.

This needs to happen along with some sort of clickable tag cloud and some dropdown menus with popular sections to just jump directly into. The navigation needs improvement.

Agreed, mostly. I guess investors would also benefit if SEO drives in more traffic, but there's currently little motivation for the rewards-driven author to care much about SEO.

It hadn't occurred to me, but these capabilities could also be built into tools like the Steem Conversation Accelerator and/or the Steem Curation Extension. Too bad I can't hire a programming team to step-up the pace😉. If Steem is going to gain on legacy social media platforms, I think we really need to expand our thinking to fully exploit the decentralized development paradigm that's only possible here.
