Hey everyone,
I wanted to write about website article optimisation, to see how many people are making an effort to optimise their travel content, so that it's ranked by Google?
For those that don't know about Google SEO (Search Engine Optimisation), this might be the perfect starting point to improve your content and its reach. For those that already do, this will be a perfect opportunity to discuss tips and advice to help improve website rankings for you and and other readers of this post.
To kick things off, I wanted to share what we do when publishing content on our website www.thetravelpocketguide.com
First of all, we take care in choosing articles we write about. This level of care is to ensure the article is a new topic not previously featured, and to make sure it will appeal to our demographic target market (people who enjoy travelling typically 30+).
Once the content topic is decided we aim to write 1,000 words+. Now, I am not claiming to be a Google expert, and I can...
Comments
Hope it does not fall into self-promotion, but I am happy to host a weekly standup for everyone in the community to share what are they plans for the week, and if somewhere the community might help.
Here is a proposed format:
1) Name of CO
2) 1 line description
3) Goal o the week (free form 1-3 most important things to accomplish)
4) Ask to the community.
I can start the first thread on Monday.
Thoughts?
Hi Alex, that’s an interesting idea!
For those not familiar, could you explain what a “weekly standup” is?
Also, what kinds of members (eg founders, startups, entrepreneurs?) would benefit?
Last, I’m not sure how the discussion threading will stack up here (maybe we re-use the same post and delete the comments each week), but there’s only one way to find out!
Thanks for the apprival Ian!
Yes, so generally a standup helps cross-functional teams works better and tap into the experience and knowledge of each individual team member. For example I'm designer and face a UX problem, so I share it with the whole team and event someone in engineering might give opinion, help or point to right direction.
It also gives a birds-eye view of what is everyone up to in clear, concise and structured ways. Also very good to keep track of things and helps to stop procrastinating.
I think being strict on format is important, but we can vote and suggest changes to it, vs everyone just writing how they like.
as of threads, I think I will just repost weekly, everyone put themselves into comments as a new comment(poster), and those(viewers) willing to engage with a particular co/person can respond under that particular comment.
Down to try :)
I think this is a brilliant idea. I would even recommend that, as a group, each week focussing on communicating and commenting on each other's social media business accounts and having dialogue via those platforms to boost engagement and exposure
Here's the first standup!
