Using Slideshare For Keyword Rankings
Apr 16th
I just had an interesting experience. I was Googling myself (dirty) and found that my Slideshare profile had shot up to the top of the rankings. It overtook all of my various profiles, websites, blogs, etc. Basically, Slideshare just one-up’d Squidoo, EzineArticles, Myspace, Twitter, Wordpress.com, and others.
Here’s the kicker – I set up my Slideshare.net account one week ago. It has one presentation uploaded (which was done for a graduate class). And I haven’t friended, commented, or taken part in any of the community behaviors they allow on their site. So I did a little investigation to see if others were experiencing the same thing.
I found this interesting article about Slideshare and SEO: http://www.socialseo.com/leveraging-slideshare-to-gain-rank-in-the-search-engines.html More >
Introduction to Wordpress for Industrial Training
Apr 11th
The other day I showed my Industrial Training graduate class how to use Wordpress. They were all new to the topic, so the slideshow is pretty basic. But I thought it might be useful to anyone just getting interested in Wordpress.
We cover what Wordpress is, how it can be used, installing it, creating posts/pages, installing themes/plugins, and embedding video.
If you would like to see any other topics in the future, leave me a comment. I’ll be happy to put together some more advanced topics. I will probably be building a few more slideshows for future classes anyway.
