Agree.
To me a personal blog shows more commitment from the author for two reasons: you have to spend some time to ser it up and search engines tend to position them high when you search for the author name.
Even Medium posts being signed I don’t know why it gives me some anonymity feeling and makes it harder to navigate through other content from that same author.
- jotm 4y agoCommitting to SERPs is challenging. Unless your domain itself has your full name, a Medium article with your name in there will rank higher than your personal blog... Although I remember there being some option to verify a website for name searches on Google. That plus having a Twatter/Fecebook/HN/etc account to confirm the official site should be enough to reasonably avoid impersonators.
- prepend 4y agoIs this an issue? I’ve never run into people impersonating real people with websites. Are there situations where someone pretends to be John Doe and to rank higher? To what end?
