RE: Content Removed

in LeoFinance4 years ago

I'm just trying to start a discussion for others who have a stake in LEO to consider the value of original content when they curate.


While that Twitter share is a cool flex, it's still just a 1 off traffic hit, that got 6 clicks for leofinance.io.

That tweet is now lost in the feed, never to be seen again.

Real value comes from ongoing organic traffic via Google.

But we won't receive any from your content, because its a duplicate and is therefore all being sent to the more authoritative domain in Publish0x:

Fair enough, I understand you're trying to drive conversation and I appreciate it. Though I do think asking someone not to publish elsewhere or curators not to encourage quality content (that may also be published elsewhere) perhaps isn't the full solution either.

Indeed, for folks to see there is good content available on Leo we shouldn't just rely on search engine hits. Instead, I think showing that quality content exists in other well regarded blogsites adds a level of credibility to the content on Leo I think. For example, someone enjoys the content normally on Publish0x then see the author is also active on Leo and in doing so goes there to explore other content.

I do see that you are trying to determine what is best for the community and I commend it. I wonder if the solution you're suggesting is really going to be as impactful as you would hope. My writing and articles are reasonable (in my opinion) because of the community and support I have built up on Publish0x primarily. Here on Leo it is extremely difficult to build as organically as I have done there. As with my previous response I now only write once per week. As such I think it is best for me as an author to not exclude the all the followers that supported me over the last couple of years of writing.
