Expertscolumn has been a wonderful writing community for writers of all ages and stages. This site has provided opportunities for those who wanted to earn money through writing and for those who wanted to improve their writing skills. Following the Google Panda update, Expertscolumn implemented quality control measures to ensure the site’s viability on the Web. Unfortunately, despite the effort, the site’s traffic and revenue decreased prompting its owner to make unavailable the revenue sharing options.
As this is a community, the burden should not rest on the site owner’s alone. Everyone can do something to help Expertscolumn recover and become
an authoritative content site. This is not impossible. Other sites who have been badly hit by the Panda update have implemented stricter measures and are now slowly gaining good reputation as sources of valuable information.If you wish to help Expertscolumn, you may want to consider doing these things:
1. Keep writing for Expertscolumn
Yes, you may want to do that even without getting paid. This is a community of writers and if the members leave just because they lose a certain benefit, then it’s likely that the threads that bind the community will eventually loosen. If you claim to like Expertscolumn and want it to thrive longer, you will have to do your share. Stay and keep writing.
2. Write good content
As a freelance writer who largely depends on traffic and referrals to earn more, publishing quality content is something that you have to aim for every time you write an article. Whether you are
writing on an “evergreen” topic or a subject that is relatively fresh, you will have to write the article well. This means that you should exert an effort to write in clear manner, using good grammar, and with authoritative information. As per Google’s terms, you may have to include citations and references. If you publish quality content here in Expertscolumn, you just might be able to help the site regain its high traffic and continuous revenue stream.3. Send back positive social signals
Bookmark your articles and share them in social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Although Google has not explicitly said that referrals from social networks weigh in how they judge the quality of content, the influence and visits these networks bring can definitely level up a site’s ranking. It would also be helpful if you use your Facebook or Twitter accounts responsibly. Don’t just follow back anyone who follows you. Don’t follow robots. Follow people who are influential or who post good content. If you choose your social network affiliation well and post useful content, you will gain trust from readers and search engines.
