This blog is young, and I’ve far from cracked the code, but I can share with you what I’ve been doing with each post that goes up on this blog in order to nudge some initial traffic towards it.


In fact, if you’re reading this right, now, it’s highly likely that your visit is a direct result of one of the methods below – so it’s at least working a little bit, right?...

Web Publishing for All! Introducing Community Translator Tools | Blogs | WordPress | Blogging | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
We're excited to announce new tools that help make WordPress even more accessible to people around the globe.


Roughly half of the content and traffic on the internet is in English1, yet English is the mother tongue of only about a quarter of internet users2, and less than 5% of the world’s population.3 We believe that WordPress.com should be for everyone, not just English speakers — it’s why we already serve WordPress in 131 languages — but we want to make it even more accessible.4

To keep so many languages up to date we need to make it radically easier for non-English speaking communities to help with translation. We’re proud to announce our latest step in that direction: the Community Translator.

Best Blog Strategies We Found, From a Month Without New Posts | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

One of the implicit values in our Buffer marketing is to challenge assumptions. And one of the biggest assumptions I have about our content is that we should be publishing original articles to the blog multiple times each week.

To find out, we stopped publishing new content for 30 days, focusing instead onrepurposing and refreshing our content from the archives. I’d love to share with you every single thing we tried and all that we learned, both what worked and what didn’t....
