Technical Best Practices

Optimize Your Presence on DeafMonitor

The better your site's metadata, the better your articles look on DeafMonitor. These standards help your content shine with rich thumbnails, accurate descriptions, and proper categorization.

Thumbnail Images (og:image)

The single most impactful thing you can do. Articles with compelling images get 3-5x more engagement on DeafMonitor. Without an og:image, your article shows a generic placeholder.

<meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/images/article-hero.jpg" />

Meta Description

This appears as the article summary on DeafMonitor. Write it like a compelling hook — 120-160 characters that make readers want to click through.

<meta property="og:description" content="Your compelling article summary here..." />

RSS Feed

A clean RSS/Atom feed is the fastest way to get your content indexed. Most CMS platforms (WordPress, Ghost, Substack) generate these automatically.

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://yoursite.com/feed/" />
