Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Glad you agree, thanks for your answers guys.

Hi guys,

I saw a blog post recently where the author added a list of "incoming search queries" to the bottom of his post, obviously to improve the post's ranking for those terms.

On one hand, I suppose it it does help users find that post. On the other, it seems lazy and somewhat dodgy, but I haven't found any opinions on it elsewhere and have not seen this practice in my experience.

What're your thoughts? Outright search engine manipulation?

Cheers, Carlo

P.s. it's speculated that Facebook in particular devalues your Edgerank if you automate/schedule your posts using tools like HootSuite/Hubspot. Just something to keep in mind, test and measure.

This may be over the top, but Hubspot manage social media very well, as well as sporting a number of other marketing tools. They're a paid service but have a free trial. Maybe check out their site and see if it fits your needs. :^)
