Sharing Content
As you continue to create content, you also want to think about sharing it. Mostly this would be done as posts on your blog page. But you need to keep in mind that not everyone will read your blog and you want to reach as large an audience as possible. You can share your blog posts on LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as sending out a tweet about your update. But there are several websites that you can update with your new content also.
Basically, you want to “ping” the search engines to let them know you have posted new content on your site. Once the search engine finds the ping, it will spider your site for the new content and add it to the directory.
You can easily add the following list to your WordPress website:
- Go to your WordPress dashboard
- Click on Settings
- Click on Writing
- Click on Update Services
- Select the websites that you want to update from the list below, and paste the url in the Update Services section
- Click save to update your site information
The following pages contain a list of websites that aggregate news on the internet. The links go directly to the “ping” link rather than a “website”.
