It's Day 2 at Compendium and I'm loving life. The blogging application is incredibly built, with great usability and an administrative interface as beautiful as the reader's interface. The team at Compendium Blogware is knowledgeable and incredibly dedicated to their clients' cause. I've had the pleasure of sitting in on a couple of client calls this week and they've blown me away.
I've had my own blog, The Marketing Technology blog, for a few years now. It's built on an open source blogging platform, has a large following, and continues to both perform and impress. What people don't realize is that it took at least a year of blog research - tweaking and optimizing to get my site in a position where the search engines would pay attention. I've run through dozens of plugins out of the thousands out there - some helped, and many hurt my search engine ranking.
Some of the advice I received that led to my blogging success was found on other SEO sites and blogs - but the majority of the advice was not readily available. It's a shame, but there are a lot of blog secrets out there that are known by a few but not shared. The fact is that those who own the keywords and #1 position on search engine results pages don't want to share because it puts their rank at risk!
I did a test yesterday and blogged with the term Social Media Domination on my new Compendium Blog and on The Marketing Technology Blog. My WP blog has 3 years of authority in Social Media and I placed a respectable and expected second on the <acronym title="Search Engine Results Page">SERP</acronym>.
Incredibly, though, my Compendium post showed up in a strong fourth place... the first post ever! The difference, of course, is the engine. Compendium, simply put, is a Sweet Effective Optimized blogging solution. It's amazing 'out of the box'... but with Software as a Service... you don't even have to worry about the box!
I'm proud of my ongoing relationship with Compendium and very happy to be onboard to help our clients leverage the platform even more than they have to date. It's day 2 at Compendium and I'm loving life! Don't hesitate to drop me a line or give me a call! I'm here!
