FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why Should I post my article here ?

Blogging in AD   VS Blogging on other sites(Blogger/Blogspot etc)
AD is a single place for Retail Investors “hangout”. Which means
you already are exposed to 1000’s of Retail investors just like you
without having to really market yourself.
You have to go through a tedious process of setting up your blog.
Followed by writing a great article just to learn that there are NO
takers or readers. Then try to post in forums/message boards
publicizing your blog. Continue this process for a couple of months and
then potentially face closure due to non-scalable solution.
Establish Credibility amongst the Investor community without any effort on your end because we do the “hard work” for you. You may be a very knowledgeable Stock market analyst and very great
writer, but if you cannot reach your audience all your hard work goes
in vain. Establishing yourself as a Separate entity is extremely
lengthy and painful process.
Since Askdalal.com is a well established Indian Financial
Website, all articles written by you are already SEO’d. Which means,
all your articles gain lot of exposure to Search Engines without any
effort on your end. You become popular and accessible to Google/Yahoo
search engines.
SEO’ing and making sure all the Search engines visits your blog is
not an easy task. More so when there are Billions of other such blogs.
Hence, gaining any visibility within Search Engines may not be an easy
call.
Most Importantly. If you are writing articles and
thoughts specific to Indian Stocks/Investments/Finances, it clearly
makes sense to post your thoughts on a Financial website where you have
your own small space, Your Blog.
There are Billions of blogs on sites such as Blogger.com and
Blogspot.com. How can you, with a unique background and wealth of
information be lost within this maze?
