What kind of creator am I?

If you want to let yourself define what kind of creator you are, it's nothing new.
Let's take a look at the classification that others have given me!

⭐ In @Matty's community essay "My Creative Experience in Matt City" closing report Matters creator shared | "Here, I am more insistent on writing, more honest with words, and more curious about the world" , I was classified Class in the " Abundant Creative Accumulation in Matt City " category!
I have to say, after reading Matty's article, I was happy for days!
Although it is impossible to change every day, I have been working hard to maintain the frequency of writing two or three articles a week.

⭐ On @Jennifer ' s Matt City Lianwai Road｜Citizen's own website and homepage , I am categorized as " personal creation x in-depth observation x reading experience x life experience sharing "
After reading Jennifer's classification, I wiped off the cold sweat first and breathed a sigh of relief, ha!

Due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic in May, my work and life have undergone drastic changes, and I am always under the pressure of " will I be out of work? " " How long can my savings last after I run out of food? " My main creative force is on [Reading Experience]. There are also 13 semi-finished books in the draft box, but I have fallen into the predicament of not being able to read. Do.
After trying twice to no avail, I let myself go back to Libra, and began to participate in community essays, and occasionally write work-related tool essays.
Unexpectedly, after I let myself go, I can still be classified by Jennifer in the category I originally defined for myself, so I feel very relieved!
( The system shows: The logic brain has been disconnected, and I don't want to see how extensive Jennifer's classification names are )

Data observation over the past four months

⭐ Top 5 off-site reads imported by Google:

Reading tools - iPad Air 3, iPad mini, Kobo Forma & Boox nova3 e-reader experience
[Reading Experience] "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Testimony"
【Reading experience】Ghost place

It can be seen from the chart that the off-site search and click effects of articles in the category of [reading experience] will be better, and this phenomenon can also be seen in the data of @readbigeng.

The article categories that are more popular for reading on the site are concentrated in [tool articles] and [community activities] submissions.

⭐ Article Favorites <br class="smart">The most surprising statistic to me is the number of article favorites.
If you use the dashboard provided by@catding to pull information, since I joined the Matters platform in March, the number of articles that have been favorited in the past four months is the 11th on the site! !
(But because the API of the Matters platform is being changed, the dashboard version cannot take screenshots for the time being, so please allow me to prove it without putting pictures here)

The collected articles are of course the tool articles of the Notion series mentioned above.

⭐ Eyeball Adhesion

This is reading Bigen | Author Data Report Decryption • Readers outside the site, how are you? A value proposed in the article

The unit is minutes, and the calculation method is to divide the "total reading time" by the "number of readings" , which means how long is the average reader's attention absorbed by your article?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this article by Father Ma Liang, a music educator who has come across the ocean !
Because I selfishly hope that more people will know about Father Ma Liang, who has devoted his energy, youth and life to Taiwan's music education!

⭐ Four-month Like Income Curve

In fact, I only publish 2 more articles every month than last month, 8 articles in March, 10 articles in April, 12 articles in May, and 14 articles in June.
In June, because of my participation in the community essay, I read a total of 1,212 articles, and the total reading time reached 22 hours. And my 14 articles got 31 hours of reading! !

I sincerely thank all the friends who are willing to read my article and leave a message to interact with me! ! ❤❤❤❤❤

Feelings during this time

Recently, a series of incidents have occurred on the Matters platform. Regarding the plagiarism incident, I think it is really amazing that the teacher @hongyan , southeast, northwestfei uses 500 words to explain the ins and outs !

This self-directed and self-acted, used multiple trumpet dummies to clap in a group, and deceived everyone's clap and real money to fight against many people's writing will => I was also one of them .

But since seeing the Matters platform quickly put forward With the improvement plan and the consistent statements of many creators on the platform, I slowly regained my motivation to write.

The improvement plan proposed by Matty includes the algorithm of the popular article. Judging from the test results of the article I published in the past two days ( on self-realization and dream support in aging ), the new mode of operation should have been activated.
Frankly speaking, every time I see that my article can be listed in the Popular Articles section , I will happily take a screenshot to commemorate it, and feel that the article I worked hard to write has been affirmed!
This page is encouraging for creators who want to work hard in Matters!
I also look forward to continuing to write articles that I like and that everyone likes! !

How to work together to help Matters platform SEO optimization?

There has been a lot of discussion about clapping hands carefully . Besides, what more can we do together?

some!
That is to work together and frequently publish high-quality articles to increase the SEO score of the Matters platform, so that more people can naturally come to the platform to participate in the creation or read articles.

Regarding SEO, I don’t want to say too many theories here. The following text will only explain Google , which is the largest search engine. In order to make the common people understand it, I will use a relatively simple language. text to explain.
SEO experts from all walks of life are requested not to look at it too harshly . If there are any mistakes, please leave a message to correct me after the article. 🙏🙏🙏

If you want to greatly increase the exposure of the entire platform on the Google search engine, in addition to the ability to build and maintain the platform (site map submission, easy reading of various devices, display font size adjustment, etc.), other creators can work together. Strive in the following directions:

✅ Active posting

Simply put, the more articles the platform publishes every day, the higher the ranking of the entire website on the Google search engine.
But here is not only the number of new articles added every day, but also the quality of the articles .

✅ Create high-quality original articles

The definition of high quality can be broken down into the following two points to illustrate:

⭐ Pictures and texts, and each picture is accompanied by a text description

The Google engine is not responsible for reading articles but big data, so the beauty of the human eye may be completely different from the beautiful pictures defined by Google.
Google likes images that have text descriptions.
This is to prevent the site's page refresh speed not keeping up with Google's crawling speed. If there are text descriptions under the pictures, even if the pictures are too late to grab the text archives. However, if the image and text are not caught at the first time, the entire page may be judged as a spam page.

When there are too many spam pages on a website, it will lower the SEO score of the overall website.

Many creators who came to Matters to back up their articles found that the pictures could not be ctrl+V pasted, and they sent the articles without pictures, which may be judged as spam pages.
Basically, there is a "cover image" setting area in the post interface of Matters platform. Even if there is no picture in the whole article, as long as there is a cover picture (the content is not missing a picture), it can achieve "" Pictures and texts" requirements!

⭐Original

For the Google search engine, it is not because you call [I am original] that it will be recognized as [original]

The following two categories of articles are considered original by Google:
📌This article has only been published on Matters 📌This article has been simultaneously published on other platforms with low traffic

It means that it doesn’t matter if you publish an article in multiple parties. As long as the traffic of the other platform(s) you publish is much less than that of the Matters platform, Google will treat the article you published on the Matters platform as original, while the articles published in other places are regarded as “piracy”. ”, the pages that are judged to be pirated will become less and less searchable, because the Google search engine will not keep plagiarized and pirated pages.
(So if there are multiple publishers who need to publish, I still recommend that articles on different platforms must have at least 20% of the content difference, so as to have the opportunity to be saved on the Google search engine at the same time)

This has nothing to do with the chronological order of the publication of this article on various platforms, it is all about platform traffic and platform SEO scores.

Before, some users thought it was a trivial matter because of the friendly response of the [Youxiang] platform!
No, this is definitely not a trivial matter . If this happens on the company's official website, it will definitely be a lawsuit and IT offensive and defensive battle!
Because the SEO of that platform was very good at that time, as long as it continued to steal text for one or two months, the entire Matters platform might be judged as a pirated website by Google search engine.
At that time, it will be harder for everyone to get traffic from the outside, and it will be harder to attract new people to settle and write articles at Matters.

How about you, would you go to a website that Google can't write an article on?
When more people can see Matters' articles on Google, they will naturally be attracted to create it. Let's talk about it, I hope no one will think it's a trivial matter!

✅ Frequent message interaction

Although Google has mentioned in official documents that the interaction of comments in web articles does not affect SEO scores.
However, according to the seniors and my own business experience, the more frequently the comments under the article interact, the more points can be added to the page score.

So, please don't be stingy to interact with the creators who appreciate it!

Your message can not only encourage and support the creators, but also positively help the Matters platform!

✅ Finally

In the past week, the number of people who have posted and read articles has dropped a lot in an instant. (Welcome to wait for the dashboard to recover, and then go and get the data to testify by yourself)
When the number of creators and the number of new articles continue to go down, the damage to the overall platform is great!

So, let's work together to publish high-quality original works !
Let the Matters platform get better and better!

Finally, since the exposure algorithm of the Matters platform has changed, if you like my article, please help me clap your hands, and if you haven't tracked mine, please press track, so that you won't miss my article!
