cheating yourself out of ActiveRain points each time you post?
Sharing some great tips about the benefit of posting in 'Channels" on AR from the remarkable Maureen McCabe
Are you cheating yourself out of ActiveRain points each time you post?
Do you put your content in a channel and assign a topic when you post? If not you are cheating yourself out of 25 points each time you post.
That's 250 points a week...
We've had channels since late 2008... but not everyone uses them. It's still marked NEW.
If you did not get 225 points on your first 10 posts in a week, you've cheated yourself out of ActiveRain points.
You are cheating yourself out of ActiveRain points AND Google juice...
If you have an Outside Blog if you are not using Channels and Topics you are cheating yourself out of Google juice. If your Outside blog side bar looks like this:
If your Outside Blogs sidebar is just showing Blog Archives by month, you are missing out on lots of search engine traffic.
You are not showing Google (and other search engines) words like:
Home Buying, Home Improvement, Home Selling, Mortgage / Finance, Moving, Real Estate Investing, Real Estate Market...
Nor are you sharing Topics.... words that would help search engines and the buyers using them find your content, geographic words, descriptive words.
The Channels and Topics become Categories on your Outside Blog. That's what Google and search engines read.
Don't use an Outside Blog so you are not worried? The Channels and Topics are how Search Engines find your content on ActiveRain too. ActiveRain made a change in late 2008. To show up in the search engines use Channels and Topics.
