RE: Is WAXP the same as WAX crypto?
Palnet seems to be sucking away Leo's traffic and I wonder why. Since I've been into SEO of late due to obvious reasons I once figured out that the ability for frontends on hive to display whichever content they see fit from the Hive blockchain may have a demerit on how search engines treat the overall content.
Seeing your title I immediately believed this post was great for SEO, and I decided to run a search immediately and guess the result?
This is not the first time I'm seeing this, Palnet always ends up getting ranked for a couple of posts even when it is not the specified canonical link, given that this post was published via leofinance.io.
To be doubly sure, I decided to run a site check via the planet link to see if the SEO tool will detect that the link is canonicalized and here's the result;
Indeed, I was right, it does point to Leofinance.io
I decided to run through the search results if Leo will be underneath but didn't find it anywhere so I had to result to using a tool to find the URL position in the search result for the query and see the result;
Not Found, Leofinance.io isn't even in the search results, but when I changed it to planet.io and here:
It was spotted in 3rd position, not too far off from the position it is in my search result which is 2nd.
Weird?
That would mean that potential Leo traffic may be getting sucked away by Palnet, cause I checked other frontends which were tagged in this post but none showed up.
Palnet is the oldest Hive tribe, so they definitely have a higher domain authority than ours.
As we can see, Google crawls their version QUICK in comparison to all the other Hive front-end domains and that's what I'm trying to take advantage of by using the tag.
However, with the canonical pointing to the leofinance.io version, Google normally ends up changing to our version... Eventually.
Just give it a little time and it should change.
But really, we're at the mercy of Google as remember they actually treat canonicals as suggestions.
All we can do is keep on internally linking from related posts and trying to tell them that the leo version is the one they should rank.
PS. I'm all for websites like yours taking advantage of Hive to add to their own SEO.
But it's not really cool to be dropping links in unrelated posts like this where I'm trying to work for the value of leofinance.io itself and sucking link juice away...
Pick your plays ;)

Oh, I see, that explains it then.
Oh, my bad, the links were only used because of the keywords, will keep them off your post in the future.
