The current SEO reality

Not on topic, but interesting to me.

This site started on October 9, 2020. It’s now 9 months later.

I enabled Jetpack stats on May 1, 2021.

Current stats show only one occasional visitor, and I know who that is. He know about this site because I told him.

I have only told one other person (outside my family) that this site exists, and he has never looked at the site — he told me so.

Up to today, I have made 457 posts. That’s more than 50/month.

What does this tell me? Organic SEO is ignoring me.

And it’s glorious. It’s almost as if I am invisible in the world and I can do or say anything I want.

I didn’t want this to be an Wildly Successful Internet Project with heavy traffic, and I still don’t have that intention.

This is a site for me to work out my thinking, for my own benefit. It’s hard to know what I really think and believe. Reading good books and typing out my thoughts slowly, with my thumbs, on an iPhone — well, that helps me See. That’s a deliberate initial cap on that word.

If you (whoever you are) get some benefit, so much the better. If the universe ignores this site, I am not harmed in the slightest.

The only harm to befall me would be to my ego, and anonymity is a tool to intentionally keep my ego in check. The other tool to keep my ego and selfishness in check is to resolutely refuse to make this a commercial endeavor.

In posting here, I seek no money, no glory. I intend to happily live my life, doing what God wants me to do. For fun and for free.
