First of all, I congratulate @cryptosam for this forum, which I believe will contribute greatly to the Turkish SEO industry. Anticipating that all SEO veterans will be here, I propose writing an online SEO book through a collaborative effort. I am listing my arguments and opening them up for discussion; I look forward to your comments.
WHY?
Everyone involved with SEO to a certain extent is essentially compiling a book in their mind. We constantly research, follow developments, conduct tests and observations on our own sites, and try to keep the book in our minds up to date. I am sure there are at least 50 members among this forum who would say, “I could write the book on this.” I am also sure that hardly any of them will actually write a book, and apart from a few forum posts, they won’t be able to guide anyone with what they have learned.
We have a lot to learn from each other, but I believe that unless we turn our knowledge into an analytical document, this forum will only be beneficial for beginner-level users. To make it useful for advanced users as well, we can address every Google parameter item by item, and with the participation of professional members, create the most accurate and up-to-date answers, bringing it to the level of an encyclopedia. Since it will be an online study, we can also ensure it remains constantly updated.
HOW?
Different methods can be proposed. The method I have in mind is as follows:
@cryptosam forms a participant team among volunteer forum members.
(If possible) a thread accessible via a special password is opened.
One of our friends is given the role of moderator to coordinate the team.
SEO parameter topics are determined; participants’ propositions regarding each topic (along with their justifications) are collected. It would be great if individuals could also share their own observations and experiences on these subjects.
Each topic is scored based on its SEO value, and these scores are summed to determine its percentage within the total.
If a consensus cannot be reached on a topic, differing opinions are noted along with their proponents and reasons; links to the forum threads and blog posts where they were discussed are provided.
The moderator compiles and indexes all topics and evaluations.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT’S COMPLETED?
When completed, we will possess a magnificent encyclopedia within a hidden section of Seocry. (By “completed,” I mean reaching a usable state; since there will be continuous updates, it will never truly be “finished.”) Whenever we have a question, we will be able to track what other professional colleagues think about it, how important the topic is from an SEO perspective, what cases have occurred, and what updates have taken place.
Whether it will be opened for public access later, turned into an e-book for sale, or translated into English to become a serious reference source, I cannot say. Let the Seocry members and Samet decide. My suggestion is that the work remains in a locked treasure room; those interested can access it in exchange for a monthly membership fee, and the revenue can contribute to Cryptosam’s house fund.
Knowledge does not diminish when shared, friends. I estimate that Turkish SEO experts are ranked quite high globally in terms of knowledge level; perhaps in the future, the entire internet community will benefit from this study.
I look forward to your comments…
