This is a dream I have. what should we do about this to make it something integrated inside Joomla?
why is Joomla lagging behind in SEO and social network?

"Auto Social Post" (for Joomla) as a mechanism to benefit SEO? You've got to be joking! Where did you read such nonsense?
2) I'm tired of the comparisons that people try to make between Joomla, Wordpress or any other website construction package (including LEGO®) because they serve no purpose insofar as SEO matters. When you think about it, 90% of the "suggestions" made in this forum category are solicitations for third-party products/services anyway! Therefore, this topic will simply provide yet another means for sock puppets and spam merchants to peddle their "auto social post" products in the forum.
3) What the hell is a "auto social post" thing anyway? Does it mean that, when you build a Joomla website, "social posts" magically appear on the website as if by divine intervention? Or does it mean that when you've built a Joomla website, "social posts" written in some out-of-the-way Twitter account will magically appear on the Joomla site? I have no idea what "auto social posts" means and I don't think the author of this topic has any idea either!
4) The only thing that is a certainty of being "doomed" is the interest that people have in this topic—as with most of the other nonsense peddled by those who regularly parade their superior knowledge about SEO on this forum! This is why, most of the time, when I see another post appear on the Search Engine Optimization (Joomla SEO) in Joomla 3.x forum category, I let out a loud groan of despair.
5) What the hell is IFTT?
6) I don't believe you when you say we're doomed. Where's your evidence? For that matter, where's your evidence to suggest that Wordpress is "better" (as far as website SEO is concerned) because of some built-in "auto social post" (whatever that means)?
7) Keep dreaming. This topic is a nightmare.
You are totally wrong. I will post a screenshot of what I mean.mandville wrote:As i can find no.zero. nada. Information on wordpress core auto posting anything beyond its rss then i find your statement baseless and pure click bait rant
I agree with you, Joomla is far better than wordpress. That's why I am writing a post here and not there! and I want to improve it. do you deny the importance of social network link and backlink visitors? do you check your google analytics? how can you say so?DaveOzric wrote:I prefer Joomla to WordPress any day. Auto posting to Social Media is marketing no SEO. Joomla has excellent SEO capability, out of the gate, superior to WP. I too have never heard of any core feature that does this in WP.

By integrating with WordPress.com Connect, WordPress.com users can quickly log in and ...
I think you and mbabker are right. Because the platform I was testing on was on WordPress hosting. However, I will try it on WordPress core too. not that I don't trust you guys. I want to know what's the difference. Because last time I used a WordPress was a long time ago and now I used it on their own server.mandville wrote:To clarify my response. Wordpress core from wordpress.org does not have the "connect" plugin. It is a service provided on WordPress owned hosting service.
No ... Social Networking Integration is not part of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) they have a common goal (i.e. to get the site noticed and attract visitors) but they are totally separate techniques that use different methods.sohrab330 wrote:social networking integration is marketing but it is content marketing and not product marketing.

Yes can can try it and it have zillions of social sharing for each blog you have there and autoposting etcsohrab330 wrote: By the way, DaveOzric I will look for this ability on easyblog extension too. I didn't know they had it.
Maybe so but, to repeat what we've written earlier in this topic, it's not something that's included as part of the Joomla core. This topic is primarily to address the question of "why" this particular facility—that may affect a minority of people using Joomla with some of the currently popular social media platforms today—is not included in Joomla.nwhit wrote:The case for auto posting is strong.
That's a different question and probably better asked in its own dedicated topic posted in the Extensions for J! 3.x forum category, I think.nwhit wrote:Does anyone have any experience with JO Social Auto Publish?
Joomla is a Content Management System that can be used for many things. If specialised social media is included in the core then it starts to focus on one element. But as it is Joomla is suitable for e-shops, social media, business show cases, forums, ticket systems and much more. But to include (in the core) any one of those would start to exclude the others by way of focusing on just one.darb wrote:I think that a standard social sharing integration for at least the big ones ie Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin should be shipped with Joomla core ....
In that case Joomla would also need to include e-shops, social media, business show cases, forums, ticket systems and much more. If it did contain all those then it would not be of use for any of them. If you only have social media in it then you exclude e-shops, business show cases, forums, ticket systems and much more. That would mean having a version of Joomla for e-shops, social media, business show cases, forums, ticket systems and much more.darb wrote:...
I don’t think that non-developers people entirely agree that "The entire point of a CMS is to give the scaffolding to build powerful tools.." People want to have some basic CMS etc functions that they use daily and that work upfront with a logical stable end user workflow....
