Say Goodbye to your Multiply website

You might have received a communication from multiply.com advising you to migrate your multiply social network account data to blogger. Here is an excerpt of the communication:

Recently, our CEO Stefan Magdalinski announced that as part of this shift in strategic focus to online shopping & selling, we will no longer support the social networking and blogging services that you are currently utilizing.

For our users who utilize our social network features (blog, video, photo, etc), we realize that this is painful, and we are launching some tools to help you preserve your content or migrate it to another platform.

The export tools are available underneath your headshot in your Multiply site. The export tool enables you to do the following:

  1. Download your content to your computer
  2. Export to Blogger (a blogging platform owned by Google)
This kind of migration will not be very easy for those who are using their multiply account as a website for their products and services since not everyone is familiar with blogger. In fact, most people find blogger as a little challenging to use.

Blogger is not also the foremost website format destination for those who are a little advanced in internet marketing and for those who are thinking about the search engine friendliness of their websites. If you want your website to be easily visible in Google, most internet marketers would advise to use the more popular format of WordPress offers the most number of plugins such as SEO, e-commerce, flash, photo gallery, and most free software that most starting businesses need. Herenextyear.com cites your wordpress website as the very heart of ALL your Internet marketing efforts. Wpshout.com cites flexibility and easiness of use as one of the many reasons why wordpress is the most popular website format for most businesses who rely in google traffic today.

It has long been in the news that multiply will be taking down their social network accounts which has been used as a website for most people.

This is the main obstacle for those who rely on free websites for their businesses: they can disappear anytime. A few bucks spent on a straightforward search engine targeted website will surely go a long way for your business.

If you want to employ the dynamic search engine friendly features of a wordpress website just go HERE.

  1. This is interesting…

    I was not involved in the Multiply project.

    However, I have been using WordPress for a while now, if anyone needs any advice regarding setting up a WordPress Website and blog, rather than Blogger, please feel free to ask.

    🙂
