Your Kitely world page is your web presence.
Are you getting full use of it?
Are you getting full use of it?
Well, neither was I until I thought about it. Do SEO. Link directly to your world from social media and webpages. Put links to relevant web page(s) and Google+ communities. Insert pictures of your place (preferably with people doing something). Link to your community calendar.
Example: Manage World panel
- kitely.com-- My Worlds--{name of your world}--Manage {Right hand column}
- Tip: When inserting links, choose open link in new window.
- The above screenshot is only an example. That world is private.
- (So I can change it without messing with our promotion plans)
Your Kitely World Page is a web page.
- People can find it in Google search.
- People can find it in a search of Explore Worlds.
- People on Kitely can use it to get to your world in one step
- They just click the Enter World button.
- If they are in a hypergrid world, they can use the hypergrid address.
- You can provide the Firestorm Hops to places in your world.
- To get the hop from Firestorm, click the navigation bar and copy.
- You could put the text and links you would put in a notecard for visitors.
Similar features may be available in other grids
- OpenSimWorld may work as your web presence if you list there.
- I am reporting on Kitely because that is where I can test things.
- If you know of another grid with something like the world pages,
