Blogging Made Easy
Creating original content can be hard. Making it engaging and attractive requires being on top of many tools and techniques and investing significant amounts of creative energy and time.
But it's fun! That's why we all do it more and more, every day. Let Zemanta help you with the messy stuff...
1. Link, Embed, and Remix like a Pro
Simple point & click enrichment of your blog posts. In real-time, while you type. We suggest tags, links, photos, related articles, and more. No matter what you're writing about: books, music, or how to save the planet, we have highly relevant content to enrich your posts.
Zemanta allows you to specify a term that recommendation engine should take into account while deciding on what's most important in your text. It's not a classical search, since it still takes into account your body of text. When you enter your term, all recommendations will change. Images will be more focused on your term, as will articles, links and tags.
2. Design the post
Just drag and drop the image. Then move it around and use your normal blog image tools to further modify placement and appearance.
3. We Care About Copyright
All the content we recommend is blogger-friendly; it is clearly marked with licensing information. We respect copyrights and don't want to get you into trouble .
Get more traffic
Blog posts start their life really only after
you publish them.
Then comes spreading the word
about your blog, making sure people know about it
and read it, making sure your posts start living
their online lives.
We at Zemanta love to give you a hand up with ways
to better promote your content . Here you will
learn how you can get the most out of your blog
post.
1. Link to Your Own Old Posts
Your readers will respect your opinion more if you've written about the topic before and they can read those old posts easily. Linking your old blog posts has clear benefits to readers who come to your site via search engines or are looking through your archive.
2. Get Visitors From Other Sites
If you are a Zemanta user and writing original content, we will start recommending your posts to other users where appropriate. We won't rank them any lower than other professional media articles, which means they will show up in sidebar recommendations.
