Yesterday’s task was to create a page or section on your blog to display links to your online presence elsewhere. And to make sure your other presences reflect the brand style and tone of the blog.

I must admit I’ve fallen behind on this task and it is on my to do list.

Since starting this course, I have learnt so much in the process, for instance with the Google+ account, that I have, this is already indexing for Blogging 201. However, after speaking to a few colleagues, this new tool came up in conversation:

A free tool that will help you see what Google will return as a search result of the page that you have written. So combining this with the Google search trends for keywords will help identify ideas for future posts.

For Google+ I will be looking for a way to include a snippet in the search description so that it features the web address for the blog, rather than just display the Google+ post.

The other information I found about how to turn a blog into a hub, is about how search friendly having a Tumblr account is for generating awareness. Just click the link to read the article.

I hope this post was useful. Do let me know if you’ve completed the task set for day 8.
