Absolutely right. I recently started a blog, and was disheartened to learn that I have sign up for accounts with several search engines, conform to their standards and rules, give them a bunch of data... and still sometimes have mysterious issues with indexing with no real recourse. How much time and effort do I really want to spend to play the seo game? I have a job, projects, and hobbies, I don't have the time or patience to play their game of "let's fuck with things randomly until you get indexed and ranked higher". That was fun for a few hours, but I'm done with it.
- kickscondor 8y agoIf you decide to start a blog again, please contact me - I will list you in my monthly "href hunt" - a raw dump of newly discovered sites. And I can point you to directories like personalsit.es that list blogs. And, of course, consider having a blogroll of the sites you follow, which is all of our little way of contributing to the effort of finding each other. :)
- ashelmire 8y agoI plan on posting some more soon; work just got crazy for a bit. And that's a good idea, I should provide links to blogs I follow!
