“Hosting on your own severs.”
Under ‘Session 1′. Not good for SEO. Edit it
I thought your slides from the workshop would be online in a couple of days. When do you think the slides will be online?
Hi,
When can we expect the Blogging workshop content to be uploaded?

@Sneezy Melon:
What do you mean not good for SEO? You mean to say that hosting a blog on one’s own server instead of using a hosting service like wordpress.com is not good for SEO?

@Nimesh:
Have updated the post with the link to Slideshare page where you can find the slides from the workshop. All future slides will be available at that URL only.
Hosting on your own severs (SEVERS?!)
@Sneezy Melon:
Ok, that was a typo! But yeah, not necessary that you host your blog on 1 server. More than one server can also be used to host a single website!!
@amit
I think he meant that wrong grammar spellings on your website (you spelt ‘servers’ as ‘SEVERS’) makes Google flag you and move you down in the list of results for a particular search term. Moreover you lose on potential traffic for a term if you have spelt it wrong.
Ah darn! Thanks for clarifying Apoorv, I guess I was barely awake when I saw Sneezy Melon’s comment. The typo has been fixed for good.
And thanks Sneezy Melon for pointing it out, sorry I didn’t get it last time!
