In fact, many established websites, like Forbes used Quora as a source of information during Covid Direct Google searches will give anonymous users access to that one specific answer.
However, Quora uses personal data like user information and user activity for tailoring personalized feeds and emails via Quora Digest. Also, like many other social platforms, Quora requires proof that their users are 13 or older. Therefore, users are asked to register with their email, Facebook, or Google account and verify their identity. That said, voting, adding questions, or joining a conversation is reserved for registered users.
Back in , the top bar was one of the most criticized parts of the website, since people were able to just Add Questions via the top bar, not to search through it.
Thankfully, this issue has been taken care of later on as Quora switched on to a full-text search in March Once the question is made, the system gives the option of rephrasing your question or keeping it the way you typed it in. Ask the questions that can help guide you to a more strategic approach:. Make it easy for people to write about you. Across the industry, experts suggest that the four most important elements to ranking well in for both iOS apps and Android apps include:.
According to MobileDevHQ , keywords in the app name have the biggest impact on app store search rankings. The study found that keywords being placed in the title offered a During the browsing experience, a user is going to be met with a listing that showcases your app. For example, when I was looking for a meditation app, the following apps showed up:.
The visuals associated with each immediately play an emotional role in the likelihood of me downloading them. The feeling I got looking at each of these is different. Simply put: These images can draw a person into your app. Another key differentiator between these apps and the rest is the approach they took to naming. I have. Most of the time, people appreciate my answers. For instance, if someone asks my opinion of a social media site and expects me to bash a site I praise, the user responds angrily.
Considering all the disadvantages of Reddit vs Quora, are there any advantages to using these social media platforms? Related Reading: Best Crypto Reddit. Note: When you go into a subreddit, check to see the recency of the information. Under the name of the subreddit are the metrics you need to know to decide how active the subreddit is.
At the time I took the screenshot, were online. As social media marketers know, marketing on Reddit is difficult. The best strategy you can use in hopes of ultimately making sales is to brand yourself as an expert in your niche on Reddit. There are plenty of opportunities for this. Add more information to the discussion. You can also brand yourself as an expert by creating a new post.
Do not link to your content or products in this post. You want to look knowledgeable not salesy. If you do end up looking salesy, people will label you a spammer and downvote your content which will have the opposite effect.
This includes content marketers. Therefore, the question begs: Is it possible to generate traffic on Reddit? Follow this strategy so you can generate traffic without looking like a spammer and getting downvoted:.
For instance, I am a member of the Facebook subreddit where people complain they are in Facebook Jail. I tell them I wrote an article explaining how to get out of Facebook Jail , and if they would like, I will return to the subreddit with the link. People generally say yes. I even sold a blogging course this way. Someone asked for a link to an SEO course. He requested the link, and I made a sale! Your Reddit followers and members of the subreddit where you posted will see your blog posts as they scroll through their Reddit feeds.
Quora lets you know when your post is sent out in the Quora newsletter. As you see in the screenshot, Quora also informs you as to how many people viewed your content. As you can see from this Google Analytics screenshot, Quora accounts for half of all my social media traffic.
Quora used to have a place for you to blog, and the website still offers opportunities for Quora blogging. The difference is the name has changed. Contributors to your space can blog there as well. Thanks for taking the time to document your experience. William Pietri. Well written. I have to agree with you that any website funneling me into their application gets an automatic back button or page close.
Open web! If you want me to enjoy your amazingly awesome content and share it, make it responsive and mobile friendly! I don't need a Quora app or many others that I wouldn't find use for on a daily basis. Good DAY Sir! Evan Rose. I hadn't really messed with it before, but it looks like the common way to view source on an iPhone is to use a bookmarklet and that there are several options to choose from. I'm curious which one you're using and if you'd checked out more than one?
The words actually do say, "You need the app to read all the answers". Yet every time I see it I read, "You need to press your back button and find a more usable web site". Richard Carr. You sure have a point.
Then again one may have even higher expectations. For example expecting to use the service under better Terms. Or even to have access to the Quora source code and create their own instances before accepting to use the service.
The limit is subjective. Many users probably the vast majority will simply accept to use their app. Timely post Scott. Our local newspaper just went to a paywall. You are allowed to read five articles online before being blocked. The choices there are subscribe to the print version and get online access included or subscribe to a digital only plan. What sillyness. Brian K.
February 15, The sea of apps is also creating something of a "Tragedy of the Commons". When apps were rarer, being asked to install one wasn't so much of an annoyance. But now that the bandwagon is moving along it's "the thing to do". Well, many of us smartphone users are ditching the apps due to pestering updates, etc. Why deliver something through an app that already has an app for that purpose, i.
Apps that deliver web content cannot last if everyone is doing it. And it's unnecessary anyways. Nicholas Ketchum. I remember reading that these fall under foul play as per Google SEO policies. I love the fact that the open web just got turned against those trying to close part of it. You undermine your argument when you contradict yourself.
If you hit a Times link from Google or Twitter, it works. That's a good thing. If you see something else interesting, they let you read that, too, up to ten times. That's also a good thing. But they don't want you to read unlimited amounts of their "value-add" for free.
I have the NY Times app, which allows free access to the top news stories, and depending on the day's events, I read it between a few times a week or several times a day. I don't subscribe, which means I can't use it to read columnists, etc, but I'm OK with that.
I understand what they're trying to do, and I agree with it so I live with it. Most casual users of the Internet seem to have a belief that the millions of people creating content and platforms fulltime on the Internet are doing it purely out of charity and the goodness of their hearts, and have no interest in or need for being compensated in any way for their work aside from a few "thanks" here and there.
If the rest of the world were run this way, we'd be back to throwing spears at antelopes and growing all of our own food on plots of land not far from our homes within a year.
I agree that the Quora implementation is very poorly done. I'm not a frequent user, but when I hit the site recently I get the whole "You need an account to view this page" thing and immediately leave. However, I'm not Quora's target demographic; I don't spend much time on the site, and don't answer questions.
In other words, people who use up bandwidth and little else. My guess is, Quora will be happy to see those people go Oh well Dilip: I had the same thought. The only downside of using this method is that you need to wait for approval from the Quora space moderator to accept your shared answers.
It may take some time since some moderator will check your answer first before your submission being accepted. This method is leveraging other people's Quora space to hijack eyeballs to our answers. It's also good to start building your own space and growing the audience on your Quora space since you will have more control over your own Quora space. Here is a special tip that I would like to share for H-Educate blog readers.
You can install a free chrome extension called Q-Stats. This app will give you marketing insights for every question on Quora for free. Q-Stats will give you information about the question stat, such as average monthly views, number of answers, followers, and number of topics related to the answers. Here a short explanation of each stat to determine the ranking opportunity score on Q-Stats.
The Q-Stats primary calculation to determine the opportunity ranking will be the average monthly views and the number of answers. Meanwhile, the secondary calculation will be followers and the number of related topics. The opportunity ranking score will summarize the overall score of the specific question from stars. It will help you decide whether the questions can rank high on Quora. The higher the star rating, the higher the opportunity to rank your answer. Well, I think that's all from my side regarding my Quora traffic hack that helps me grow my Quora content views over 25K within four months with only nine answers.
Implementing all the strategies above will help to grow your Quora content views faster. The good thing is when using this strategy to grow my content views, I could earn my first affiliate sale from Quora without having to answer a lot of questions. You can read my story about how I earn my first affiliate sale. I myself treat my Quora profile as my landing page, where I put all my blog links and divided them into different categories so Quora readers can choose which article they want to read when they visit my Quora profile.
Some people will come to check your Quora profile if you put the valuable answer. You can also put a footer at the end of your answer to entice the reader to check your Quora profile if they're interested in reading more articles from you. This way, you can also get traffic to your blog and earn sales, even though not as much traffic as putting a link directly on your answer.
