Connect ExpressionEngine to Sorank

ExpressionEngine is a mature publishing platform, but it offers no public API to create posts from an outside service. Its developer API is meant for add-ons running inside the install, not external automation. Sorank still gives you a fully automated SEO blog on your own domain.

Why ExpressionEngine needs a hosted blog

ExpressionEngine's API surface targets templates, channels and add-on development, not remote content creation. Pushing an entry from an outside tool means building a custom add-on and maintaining it. Instead of that overhead, you let Sorank host the blog for you.

The simple route: host your blog on Sorank

Sorank publishes and hosts your articles on your own subdomain, for example blog.yourdomain.com, linked from your ExpressionEngine site. Every post strengthens your domain authority.

1. In Sorank, go to Settings > Integrations and open Manage my blog.
2. Click Activate my blog.
3. Add the CNAME and TXT DNS records at your domain provider, then verify.

Full walkthrough: Host your blog on Sorank. For developer context, see the ExpressionEngine API docs.

Link it from your ExpressionEngine site

Add a Blog link in your ExpressionEngine navigation pointing to your hosted blog subdomain. Visitors move smoothly between your main site and your blog, and Google indexes both under your domain.
