Permalink Comments (0) Have Your Own Column On SearchWarp!Posted Monday, November 24, 2008 (221 days 18 hours ago.) Viewed 37 times. Over the next few weeks, you will start to see some small aesthetic changes to SearchWarp.com. Don't worry, the site is not going through a complete makeover! Everything will still work just like it always has. One of the new features, which you may have already seen, is the ability to have a column and the Featured Columnist page. We have a great group of folks who are featured, but anyone can have their own column. Here's how it works: 1. Click the "Edit Account & Email Settings" icon in your Control Panel. Enter the name for your column in the Column Name field. When naming your column, keep in mind that the idea is to write articles that fit under the umbrella of your column name. If you plan to write articles about horticulture, then "Plants Are Evil" may not be the best column name. 2. When writing your articles, every article that is marked "Completely Exclusive to SearchWarp" will appear with your column header. That's it. Feel free to write other articles on different topics. If you don't want them in your column, don't check the box to make them exclusive to SearchWarp. We look forward to variety of columns that you guys are capable of. We are proud of the diversity of ideas on SearchWarp and we know this can be another way to express those ideas. Stay tuned for more new features and innovations, including an exciting surprise!
Permalink Comments (1) All You Need To Know About Peer Ratings, Page 2 and Comment EditingPosted Thursday, October 23, 2008 (253 days 17 hours ago.) Viewed 301 times. Peer Rating System A Success! SearchWarp's new Peer Rating system is off and running! Through the Readers' Club, you are reading and rating hundreds of articles, authors are able to see what other authors think about their writing and more of your articles are being read. What's The Next Step? We are proud to announce SearchWarp Page 2! Page 2 is entirely populated by the highest rated peer rated articles from the past seven days. It's a great opportunity for you to see which articles are highly thought of by other authors and it's excellent exposure for articles that might not otherwise make it on the SearchWarp home page. Page 2 is accessible from the top navigation bar on any page on SearchWarp. In addition, two of the highest peer rated articles will be featured on the SearchWarp home page. How Can You Benefit? There are a few things you can do to take advantage of the peer rating system and possibly see your article on SearchWarp's Page 2.
Comment Editing One other new feature that was quietly added is the ability to edit your comments within 20 minutes of submitting them. If you catch a mistake, grammar error, or just realize you said something you shouldn't have, now you have the ability to change it within 20 minutes. We are always looking for ways to improve your experience at SearchWarp.com. As new features are added (and they're coming!) we will update you here. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can always contact us.
Permalink Comments (1) Our Trip To the SES Conference and Google Dance 2008Posted Friday, August 22, 2008 (315 days 16 hours ago.) Viewed 34 times. The SearchWarp.com staff spent the first part of this week at the Search Engine Strategies Conference and the Google Dance. We wandered around the conference expo hall, networked, got inspired and got free stuff: pens, bags, bouncy balls, notebooks, frisbees, even remote control cars. I am happy to report that our kids enjoyed all of the toys we brought home for them! But the conference was just an appetizer of free stuff. The Google Dance was the main course, the dessert and the midnight snack! To paraphrase the great Ferris Bueller: if you have the means to attend a Google Dance, I highly recommend you attend one. They are so choice. At this point, I believe Google could orchestrate the overthrow of the US government and we would still look at them with puppy dog eyes. It is with that lofty introduction that I give you the "things we learned at the Google Dance" list:
And you will benefit, too. There are some exciting new things we're working on and some great ideas we came away from our trip with that we are looking forward to implement. Stay tuned and keep writing!
