Edocr Site Updates We at edocr have decided to update our site so we can better help our users share their content across the web. We want to ensure our site remains modern and easy to use, and we want to provide the best SEO indexing possible so our customers can compete with the professionals. You can read about the many new changes that will be coming to the site within the next few months below, and as always we are open to any suggestions our users might have on other ways we could improve. SEO Our highest priority has always been making SEO indexing and sharing easy for everyone, and we’ve now updated our subscription plans to reflect that. Documents uploaded by free accounts will not be automatically indexed, but upon request edocr can change the status of individual documents so that they will be. Premium and Business accounts come with SEO available and are able to purchase additional SEO packages, allowing users to select what content they want to have shared or stored privately. If you would like to review your options you can visit our pricing page here. Deletions As part of our new subscription plans we have also changed our rules surrounding the deletion of documents and profiles. We are no longer going to be indexing profiles which have yet to upload any documents, and as of May 1st documents which haven’t received any views will begin being deleted. Content we believe to be in violation of our rules with no views will be deleted within 100 days, while regular content which has yet to receive any views will be deleted within 200 days. Indexed content posted by free accounts will be given 400 days before deletion, while indexed content belonging to Premium users will not be deleted. We advise our users to monitor their storage as well, as those who exceed the limit for their account status will have their documents deleted on a first in, first out basis. We hope these changes will help to increase content sharing and keep all your best documents circulating. Organization At the suggestion of a few of our users we will also be improving our tagging, categorization, and collection features. We are expanding upon our category and tagging system, creating a wider variety of topics users will be able to search through and share with others. While users will still have to select one primary category, adding your own tags manually will help to strengthen and organize our database. We will also be changing how Premium users are able to contribute to collaborative collections, and in addition will be making our document analytics available for entire collections to ensure users can manage and review all of their documents. Ads We will also soon be introducing ads to our mobile site and increasing the number of ads displayed across our website. Though this may not seem like a positive addition, we do offer Premium users the ability to reduce or turn off ads within their profile. All you have to do is click the gear icon in the top right corner, select ‘Account Settings’ from the dropdown, and then scroll down to ‘Disable Ads’/ and then select ‘Disable Ads’ from within the ‘Account Information’ section. And as always, the ad below the document description is your to customize. By uploading a document with a shareable logo and creating a template from it, you can apply a logo ad to all your documents to catch the attention of your readers. Refurbish One of the biggest changes we’re looking forward to is the new visual interface. In an effort to keep the site modern and up-to-date we will be improving upon the original structure and colour scheme, brightening up our page and making it easier to navigate. Part of this will include streamlining our upload process to make it a far simpler and quicker process, as well as releasing a new on-site and embeddable document viewer. Our new site will be cleaner and less confusing to navigate, helping us to better share and store your content. Pricing If you are simply using edocr to store files and are concerned any of these features may negatively affect you, it may be time to consider upgrading to a Premium or Business account. Users who do will have their profiles indexed and are given increased long term storage, which will not be subject to these new features. We offer many different payment options here, and you can upgrade your profile to Premium for 3 months free here.
