Hmm, the hyperlink did not get picked up in the last post so here is another test as an HTML version but with a hyperlink actually inserted.
Come visit my website at http://www.mccordweb.com/!
Test of HTML Emailing of Blog Posts
Here is my test post sent via email using HTML as the format.
I have already deleted one test but have found that spacing in using HTML may be a problem. It may be best to send your post in plain text. But one criteria may be a link in the content. Here is a link to my website to see how a link turns out in text – www.McCordWeb.com.
Emailing Your Posts To Your Blog Text Version
Blogger has great features and I like the blog platform better than most,
but one this I wish they had is auto-publishing.
In WordPress and Typepad you can set a post to publish at a date in the
future which is a very nice feature for a professional blogger such as
myself. I have decided to do several tests of the Blogger system that you
can review online using the “mail to your blog” feature in an effort to be
able to make blogging easier. This post I have sent to Blogger via email and
formatted my message as plain text. Take a careful look and see if you see
any flaws in font and spacing based on our other posts.
My next post will be sent as an html emailed post so we can review the
difference. I will also be clocking the time it takes Blogger to post my
emailed blog. Right now I am finishing my post and it is 6:55 AM Eastern
Time.
Blogging Can Improve Your Website’s Organic Placement
Well, the research is in, our analysis complete, and our white paper on “The Tangible Benefits of Blogging” is nearly ready to publish. We have done a very unique case study on two sites with the identical content and everything, one blogs and one does not. The site that blogs beats the site that does not blog in the SERPs (organic results) hands down.
Now we’re ready to do more research on this point to be able to definitively state that blogging helps your organic search engine placement, but for now, in one unique case study, it is clearly pointing in this direction. We have much more research on our other topics to prove traffic benefits, stickiness, and several other key points that website owners are interested in, but the topic of blogs and organic placement is a important one. Although it is important it is very difficult to prove. Which makes the case study that we do so important and interesting.
We will be publishing our white paper in our monthly e-newsletter, so you will want to click our blog post title and subscribe now so you’ll get first notice of our release.
