How does Curation Get My Site Found?
- Search engines see regular, new content showing up on your site, and they love active sites.
- The content is also vibrant – varied and deep.
- Well curated articles can rank higher than the originals because they answer the search question better!
- Regular curation leads to your own content creation, further helping your site (see the next section below).
Curation is A Short Course in Writing Original Content
- You start with short introductions and overviews, within your comfort zone.
- Those little comments have been growing into paragraphs at times.
- You start to gain a voice, and begin writing pieces based on several articles
- With that practice comes confidence, and the ability to start creating your own posts and articles.
- It becomes much more natural to sit down and write out your thoughts and ideas.
- You can now start creating your own content!
