New Q&A search landing page
|
|
We’re launching a new type of search landing page for Q&A!
The vast majority of traffic to Genius is driven by search. People look up the lyrics to a song on Google or other search engines and click on a Genius link. For many of you, this comes as no surprise, because we’ve talked about it a lot over the years! But as we all know here in the community, Genius has much more to offer than just lyrics, thanks to our collective contribution efforts.
The problem is, we don’t rank well in search (or at all) for other types of content that we have. For example, on the song page we have annotations, song credits, Q&A, comments, etc., which we largely rely on users to discover for themselves after they’ve already arrived on the page. We don’t want to get rid of those features at all, but we do want to better surface them to the wider audience of visitors.
One way to do this is to create “leaf” pages, which take subsets of content that already exist and put them in their own destinations that are optim

Adding reply section in comment section
|
|
Sometimes people ask questions and doubt about songs and albums in the comments, but I found pretty hard for me to respond to the question, most of the times I had to tag back them so they can see, but I wonder if they noticed it at all.
So in my opinion, it would be great to add a reply section under each comment so we can reply to the user straightly about our view and answers etc without tagging them…..do you guys think this is a good idea?
