RE: RE: Even If No One Sees Your Post On Hive, Google Does...

Exactly, and what I've been saying for years hoping it will reach even more people. It also helps if we optimize our posts with Google in mind.

This is one reason for example, I never source my images at the very top of the page. Doing so makes your first line read as: "source" and a pixabay link, instead of your opening sentence. You can see that on a number of posts in LeoFinance and Hive.

Keeping SEO in mind, bloggers will either place the first image below the first (or second) paragraph, or have an image credit section at the bottom as I do. I want my keywords and phrases to rank on Google not an image link.

Also, since Google indexes tweets, sharing your LeoFinance post on Twitter means that tweet will also show up on Google giving us double the exposure. It's why I center my images and justify the text so that it has a clean, professional look. Anything that brings more targeted eyeballs to LeoFinance and Hive is a useful addition to our promotional toolset.
