Forum Launch SEO and Search Updates
Summary
Mr. Anoop's server announces the Forum launch with reversible privacy controls, SEO meta settings, and announcement indexing. The update adds separate meta descriptions for Forums and Announcements and reports a 30% traffic jump after release. Upcoming work includes improved search so users find servers by discussed topics and an in-person presence at ETHDenver plus a product update next Thursday.
Hey ! Here's a recap of some of the new growth efforts we are pushing out:
Forum is officially out
You can go to your server listing page, click on "Edit," and set everything up. Here are some important notes:
1. Data privacy is priority #1. We do not publish anything without explicit consent from you (the server owner) and the author.
It is reversible. If at any point you don't want to share your messages, you can go to our dashboard and automatically reverse that decision.
2. SEO controls. If you are a company working on SEO, you can set up your own meta keywords and meta descriptions. Note that your Forum page and your Announcement page have separate meta descriptions based on your input.
3. Announcement Indexing. In addition to the Forum, we've also gone ahead and indexed high-quality announcement content. We’ve added custom meta titles and descriptions based on the announcement content so that if people are searching for those topics, they will find you.
4. Performance. We are working on a new backend version of the server listing to make it godspeed! But from a new user's perspective, the speed is already good! We refactored a lot of our old legacy code to make that happen. 🙂
The Next Big Thing: Search: Let people find you based on what you talk about.
We will spend the next couple of weeks working on better search. When a user searches for a particular intent—for example, "Fortnite"—we will not only surface Fortnite servers but also servers where people are talking about Fortnite. Users will see stats like: "x amount of people talked about Fortnite over the past week." This way, people can find servers with the right shared interests.
Traffic Update
Just a heads-up on the traffic side: we saw a 30% jump yesterday in the first 24 hours after pushing out the Forum feature!
