How to help ML with their SEO and Growth
-
I have been asked this lots of times today. How can you help ML grow and grow our SEO/reach?
Repost links to threads here on Facebook, Twitter and anywhere else (except for certain communities as they will delete the post) you can think of.
Make sure to use the Hashtags from the post whenever possible.
You can post directly from a thread here to FB and Twitter.

I'll go ahead and ask the obvious question. What about personal blog pages?
I know having a link to a personal blog from Mangolassi.it is going to do more for the other pages rankings, but does everything little bit help?
-
@travisdh1 You never know when someone will be linked to your page and find ML as a result. Word of mouth can be very helpful too

Yes it does!! Also if you let me know about it I can incorporate things like that on the ML FB page as well. Help us both out.

Good content works best, IMHO. Crossposting links may help, but what Google really likes is good content.

Is there a way to incorporate an article/blog portion in addition to the discussion threads? It seems difficult to find things here overall, and there is some very good information that is harder to locate/sift through since it isn't distilled down to a how-to/article.

@scottalanmiller might have a better on idea on that one @Kelly

That's a major problem here. We had some very good discussions in the past, but sometimes it just seems that information vanishes into void. NodeBB features a great search function and content tagging, but that's only half of what could be needed.
What about a big "Community best practices" project. We could start to work out best practices based on repetitive topics, for example. How to create users? How to I setup XYZ. How to enable AD Recycle Bin... There's so much that could be collected.

Community Knowledgebase? We could make a community wiki but that's kind of what each thread that is tagged

Maybe not just a knowledge base but everything the average SMB admin could need.

I think the threads are great - for discussions. But what if we compile what we talked about into small how to's and best practices?

I think the threads are great - for discussions. But what if we compile what we talked about into small how to's and best practices?
For example all the "Set up <software> on <OS>" topics. If those were not buried in a discussion and had the means to notify subscribers it would make them much easier to find and refer to instead of, "Here is the thread. Make sure you follow the steps in comments 8, 14, 89 since they're critical to making the first script work."

Of course, you mention SEO and instantly spam bots appear.
