Sharing your blog posts here? or in any communities on G+?

A tip or two to keep your posts OUT of the spam trash can...

~ DO NOT POST A LINK ALL ALONE!
Add a description to it in the box above where it reads Add a comment... (see picture)
Adding a description will help it be searchable within that community.  Adding descriptive words that others might search for will ensure YOUR post comes up when someone is looking for what you posted about and get traffic TO YOUR BLOG TOO!

~ DO NOT POST IN EVERY COMMUNITY YOU BELONG TO WITH RAPID FIRE!
Sure, you wrote something spectacular! Sure everyone you know, and strangers even, need this info! However, each time you share in rapid succession all within minutes of each other you are telling the Google bots that you are a spammer and everyone knows Google hates spammers.
I suggest you post in the one or two communities you KNOW it is most relevant to the day you write the post and then then next day you post in a couple more, and then next day one or two more.
if you belong to that many communities that your post is THAT relevant to, you may consider running your own community and build an audience!

bonus tip:
~WRITE YOUR DESCRIPTIONS TO SUIT THE SOCIAL PLATFORM YOU ARE USING AT THE MOMENT!
send a link to your blog post to each and every spot all at once is nothing more than spam.  Doing the exact same thing to every spot, Facebook, Twitter, G+, Instagram and so on just makes it look like you never read anything in those places.  Try customizing your share to match each place, Twitter & G+ & Instagram love hashtags, Facebook - not so much.  Twitter likes it short and sweet, G+ you can write a BOOK!


I hope these tips will help those of you whose posts may get trashed, are ending up in the "spam" folder, or who may not be getting the traffic you desire.
