Leveraging Your Content - Warning About Hyperlinks In PDFs.

Last Update: October 07, 2010

Just a quick post here.

I'll talk later about the different ways to leverage your content but one thing you can and should do is create PDF files out of your articles and publish them on Scribd.com. You can also create like a mini ebook with a bunch of your articles compiled into 1 PDF and give it away to your subscribers.

Of course the main goal, just like when you write an article, is to make people click on the link at the bottom of your PDF.

Be careful when you convert a word document to a PDF file. Sometimes, the hyperlinks seem to be active in the PDF file because they are underlined and blue but hover them with your mouse and check if there's a little hand cursor and that they correctly point to your website.

Often times, online converters don't keep the hyperlinks active. The one I use is freepdfconvert.com. I didn't try all the free converters online so maybe there are others that are good but that one is ok.The only thing is that if you only have a free account, you have to wait 30 minutes between each submission.

Don't forget to ping and bookmark the links where your PDFs are located on Scribd! Google will find your links and will give you a nice tap on the back. Or a good ranking for your site.

 

That's it for today. More about content leveraging soon.

 

Cheers,
