RECR Reaping Rewards in SEO Via Slideshare
Being an internet marketing type person, I am constantly on the hunt for new and innovative ways to:
- Market my company
- Maximize SEO for the content that I have currently
- Develop new ways to generating content that can keep Google happy
And, one of the ways I have found recently that is working very well for me is Slideshare.net.
Slideshare is a presentation hosting site that allows users to "Upload and share your PowerPoint & Keynote presentations, Word & PDF documents and professional videos...". And, I am happy to say, it has terrific Google juice associated with it.
Roughly about 10 months ago, I created a Slideshare account, put up a couple presentations, and then completely forgot that I had it. Recent changes at my company required that I reinvestigate this option for document storage.
And, after seeing how many views my presentations has gotten in those 10 months, I started converting some of the blogs I had written in the past into PowerPoint presentations and loading them on to my Slideshare account.
And then something magical happened...
For local search results, my Slideshare account is #1 in Google!! (#1 for natural search...ignore the paid slots.)
The really funny thing is...the presentation that is listed as #1 is the one that I put up 10 months ago!!
But, and perhaps even more impressive, through Google Analytics, I have found out that this same presentation has crept up from #10 on national search rankings to #6 in just the LAST 4 WEEKS!! (This result was determined by taking out the local search recommendations out of the equation. Thus, making the search as pure as possible based on the search terms above only on an national level.)
So...want another way to kick your "Google Juice" consumption up a notch?? Get on Slideshare and start posting presentations. It works!!

Was waiting for a new avenue to maximize exposure...gee a new one comes along so rarely on line huh? Glad this is working for you, that you cued us all in this morning!
Thanks for the update. I saw what you did on another post & it looked great.
Andrew -- I know....online innovations are so slow these days. LOL! :-)
Lyn -- You are welcome. :-)
I have added a few on slideshare. I do follow some folks there. I have trouble when I created them in keynote and using moving text they don't show up right, like blank slides.
Also some of my pages go in one at a time, I know I can figure it out, I just need the time to do it.
Missy -- I have noticed the same thing on other accounts. I have not done any posts in Keynote and played with those functions, but that is good to know. As far as PPT stuff, I have had no complications at all.
Clint, thank you, I'll go there today and check it out.
Val -- Awesome! I hope it works out for you.
Clint,
I appreciate that you keep up to date on this stuff...you are acting as a consolidating resource for things that help us all. Thank you!
Steve -- Thank you for the kind words!! Very much appreciated!
O.k. so I popped over and took another look. I signed up a long time ago but didn't do anything with it. It would seem that creating a slide show of a listing might not be the best use ot this tool? Can you do a tutorial?:)
Barb -- Actually, if you want to do a slideshow of a listing, I highly recommend Jeff Turner's company, Real Estate Shows. Excellent pre-packaged stuff and its cheap.....like $130 a year or something like that.
But, for posting educational presentations, it is top notch. You can create any powerpoint presentation and post it there including meta-tags for SEO. Super cool and well worth the time playing with it to get it down.
As far as a tutorial...I am for hire. :-) hehehe Here is a link to the other posts I have up that I converted from my blogs...

Barb -- My pleasure. ;-) I hope they help.
Clint - I will be checking this out, sounds like a good way to get some information out there and reap some juice from it.
Mike -- Sure worked for me. :-) Quite pleased with the way it has come out.
Great job!
