We are moving everything to bitshares.org so we want to put our effort in building up that domain. It currently redirects to invictus.io, but I have asked our team members to get a server up and hosting that. The new site Brian has under development will be out in just a couple of weeks at which point invictus.io will redirect.

+5% excellent

it might also make sense for stakeholders with admin rights on coin related :

Meetup groups to add BitShares.org as a sponsor
Facebook groups add and pin a BitShares.org post

fwiw, Alexa rankings are very misleading, at least they used to be I don't know if things have changed. Their stats are/were based on whether browsers had Alexa toolbar installed or other things that could send data back to Aexa, which boosted rankings for the segment of the population that used those tools i.e. webmasters.

true, any thoughts on an alternative source of metrics? the idea is to improve SEO, agnostic of the toolset.

I think the focus should be on bitshares.org when the new site is launched, they have a high end team working on it right now and I'm sure they take SEO into account as well. But good ideas about articles and signatures but often they have a no follow attribute.

+5% that makes sense.. bitshares.org should be the focus then. I assume once the branding roadmap is complete, we can circle back and make a SEO push.

"All I3 stakeholders consider including a link back to I3 in your profile signature on https://bitcointalk.org/"
- nice idea. Currently bitcointalk blocking editing this though.

if not there will be. If not dedicated then serving that role (wearing that hat)

Is there an I3 SEO team?

unimercio · March 07, 2014, 01:42:07 PM

I thought I would start this thread in an effort to gather intel and suggestions we could pass on to the I3 SEO team.
Looking at the Alexa site rankings in the DAC/Dapp related space, I see this forum is doing well, but the invictus.io site has fallen to 3rd place in ranking.

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/invictus.io
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitsharestalk.org

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/ethereum.org
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/mastercoin.org
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/counterparty.co

Possible incremental steps towards boosting the ranking include:

create a forum.invictus.io subdomain parked on or redirected from bitsharestalk.org
submit content to this wiki page (and/or other DAC related) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_property with a link back to I3
submit comments to this article (and/or other DAC related) with a link back to I3 http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasperhamill/2013/11/30/fed-up-with-bitcoin-heres-how-to-start-your-own-currency/
All I3 stakeholders consider incluing a link back to I3 in your profile signature on https://bitcointalk.org/
