Canonical links and Optimizing Posts for Rankings.
<html>
<p>&nbsp;I have been rather quiet the last 2 weeks – it’s been a case of, I have had nothing important or of value to share, so I just didn’t post. &nbsp;But today I have a little news many of you have been waiting for.</p>

<h2>Canonical links</h2>
<p>As I was very quick to have a meltdown over Steemit Incs decision to change canonical links in favor of Steemit.com, I think it's only fair to be just a quick pointing out in some cases, this has now been updated.</p>
<p>Last night I was checking the source code on a steempress post on steemit.com and I noticed that the canonical links were pointing to the WP source. &nbsp;Nice work. &nbsp;Happy day.</p>
<p>It is to my understanding that steemit inc have whitelisted certain Apps that comply with their standards. &nbsp;What these standards are I do not know and have not explored. &nbsp;But what I do know is that for Steempress users, canonical links are no longer an issue.</p>
<h2>Optimizing posts to Rank – my effort to help steemit.com</h2>
<p>In terms of not posting myself. &nbsp;I did have a post, a business update post. &nbsp;Something I do most months. &nbsp;However, the bigger picture here with these canonical links is that Steemit.com needs to increase rankings. &nbsp;To do this, we need more searchable content. &nbsp;I have had a few chats and comment conversations about the same and well talking is getting us nowhere. &nbsp;Now its time for a little action. &nbsp;And I hope some others will follow my lead :-)</p>
<p>Getting content to rank on Google or other search engines takes a lot of work. &nbsp;The business update post was more of an online diary of my progression. &nbsp;However, working online, earning money online, income reports, all that sort of stuff is highly searchable.</p>
<p>So I am now editing the article to make it more search engine friendly. &nbsp;I am expanding on the detail, so it becomes a long-form post, rather than a short-form post. &nbsp;I am researching long-tail keywords and other posts on the same topics. This content of this post will be fully optimized for search.</p>
<p>The aim is to get this post ranking of the first page of Google and bring more traffic to steemit.com. &nbsp;I have never written a post on steemit with the aim of ranking anywhere and I don’t think I am alone in that. &nbsp;But with a change of mindset and more focus on rankings, if everyone did this maybe steemit inc could thrive and keep the sell-off to a minimum.&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I publish the post, I am hoping to reach my target rankings within 2 weeks. &nbsp;We get a nice little boost from steemit incs domain score on our publications and if I promote this post like I would promote my business blog, I really should be able to rank well.</p>
<p>This might be only a very small effort, 1 post from 1 person is not going to have any impact on the bigger picture. But if everyone reading this post did the same, and made it a regular occurrence, I believe this would have a tremendously positive effect for steemit.com and steem in general. &nbsp;</p>
