For nearly three years I was a paid up member of social networking site ecademy.com. But no longer, today is the first day of the rest of my life.
OK, that's overstating it but I cancelled my membership. Why? Well, nothing against ecademy but it stopped being helpful. When I began I was mainly interested in getting a good Google ranking and ecademy helped. Lately Google have significantly marked down the effectiveness of social network sites such as ecademy and the weighting they give for backlinks.
My personal and business interests drifted towards images, scanning, photo albums etc and that's a very minor area of ecademy which is mainly populated by marketing gurus, personal development coaches, SEO experts (rapidly leaving) and the usual cast of oddballs. Ecademy just stopped being relevant.
And I felt I was becoming addicted. I had the page open in Safari and I found myself commenting on ecademy blog posts in which I really had no great expertise, and not a lot to add.
I'm concentrating on photo, slide and negative scanning via 1Scan.co.uk and also personalised-photoalbums.com (which should be self explanatory).
