Where would you expect the different kinds of blogging content I produce to be found?

jc2048
jc2048 over 7 years ago

Something I've realised recently is that content I put in my own blog here doesn't get seen by search engines. Content that goes in one of the groups, like Test & Tools, or one of the communities, like the Project14 competition entry ones, does. Presumably element14 have their reasons for that, though it seems a bit counter-productive to me.

 

One option I've got is to move to posting in the various groups/communities, but which ones?

 

Most of what I'm doing would seem to fall in the area of analogue circuit design, but with a lot of investigation and experimentation rather than complete projects. There's also a fair amount of simulation-related stuff and a small amount of FPGA (though I didn't get very far with it). Where would I put all that?

 

The manufacturer specific areas aren't really appropriate for most of it, though they do work for anything that's an addition to an SBC.

 

There is an FPGA group with a bit of activity, so that would do for those (if I can get started on them again).

 

There is an Open Source Hardware group, but that doesn't really seem like the right place for anything that doesn't end up as a full, working project.

 

There are a couple of places for audio design with few members and next to no activity, but that's too narrow a focus for most of what I'm doing.

 

Anyway, the question is: where on the site would you expect the different kinds of blogging content I produce to be found?

    Hi Jon, You're right, there doesn't seem to be a close fit for analog sub-systems/experimentation. The few times I've written a purely analog project, it's gone into places like Open Source Hardware, or…

    I put almost all my posts in my own blog and since they are for the most part pretty trivial I am glad when even a handful of my friends here read them. The only way that google has a chance of finding any of them is if I preface my search with "element14".

    Perhaps there is a way for Google to take a more in depth accounting of the element14 content as posts like those of Jan and Jon are certainly pertinent and valuable to anyone looking for information on the subjects that they blog about and there is no way the searcher would have the foresight to put element14 in their search parameters.

    Thanks John. I'll try the prefix and Google and see what happens. As for getting visibility, it looks like I'll have to fit with the system and spread the material around the groups.
