Hey man, long time no see. Hope life's treating you well.
I've been working in SEO for about 2 years now. What you're talking about within the article is pretty much right. However, the articles we post on Hive.blog or Steemit.com are mostly ranking because of the high domain authority of the main site.
Links and the authority of the site count the most in rankings. Google doesn't really likes to admit it but, the more quality links you have, the higher you rank. Fortunately, our articles don't need links since the domain is pretty damn strong. So, as long as we cover good topics, and have some quality articles, they will rank pretty high - potentially even higher than Medium.
Yoooooooooo
Just read your post actually and was about to reply asking where the F you'd been :D
Cheers for the info, that sounds pretty good to me. We just need some more decent writers knocking around.
Good to see you back, get some content out!
Whoop, whoop! You British fucker! We always need good writers.
That's me, without the fucking part at present. Damn lockdown!
Haha, I get that! This pandemic is not the best for building real-life relationships.
