RE: Help Hive - Sprinkle A Little SEO On Your Posts

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Here's one problem, in a Twitter survey we took recently of 77 people, 75% of people like peakd.com over Hive.blog.
Most bloggers (myself included) once they experience peakd.com, there is no going back to hive.blog. It's boring, and lacks visual features, and tools. I think promoting peakd.com, makes way more sense.
See for yourself:

I am one of those who prefers peakd, for the features it includes that were spread all over in the past - delegation's, account creates, etc.

With the rendering issue though, peakd don't look like they will rank in google - sorta key for attracting new people isn't it?

So, I would write your posts and post from hive.blog, and do everything else on peakd.

i disagree. hive.blog is a bad way for people to get introduced to Hive.
Peakd.com needs to be the first thing they see...actually looking at Google Trends for Peakd.com, the rankings are going up.

The trends are usage though? Not first click visits - have they got referrer stats?

If we post from peakd, the canonical link, the images, and other links likely included in the post will point to peakd, which google seems to have no knowledge of post-wise.

I don't have an account with alexa but would be interested to know the referrer stats for peakd - where is the traffic coming from. If it's bookmarked links and hive.blog, then that'll be existing users. I'd like to see referrals from Google - if these are happening then it will not matter which interface the blogs are entered on.

I will not be using hive.blog. I tried recently and can't go back to that....it's good to have a backup site, but peakd.com is so much better, that people need to find it first. LOL

These are the metrics we should be looking at, as we can see, the only thing that really matters is human attention. Peakd.com has almost double the engagement than hive.blog.....sending people to a place where engagement is low, that's not a good plan. Human attention is the thing that matters:

We have a branding problem. People come to know about "Hive" and visit hive.blog, but peakd.com has twice the engagement stats, almost double of hive.blog. Peakd.com is such a different name to "hive" that I feel people won't associate it with "hive'. This is the main problem i see....
If peakd.com gets a really good mobile app that is integrated and works well, i could see peakd.com and hive succeeding....if it remains fragmented, with random mobile apps and different sites i think onboarding will remain difficult.

Totally agree with the branding and fact we have many entry points, but could it work for us longer term?

Those interested in natural medicine might first arrive on the Hive blockchain at https://www.naturalmedicine.io/

If in the future they can get an account there, they may never know about hive.blog or peakd.

It's hard, and makes my brain hurt.

Common sense and marketing comes from one thing: human attention. Put your best thing forward. Don't send people to a site that has low engagement. We need other sites to be linking to peakd.com, because right now there is only ONE! LOL. i saw this on alexa rank site.

but the good news is that peakd.com has engagement numbers that are better than Facebook. Now we have to get the word out, and have links to peakd.com from other sites, and build up communities......
