I have posted a new article and/or video every day since late 2024. Every article is a helpful, information-dense dive into aspects of creativity, innovation and intellectual property protection.
For a reason I cannot understand, Google is not indexing and serving my pages on their search engine anymore. Since my YouTube channel was erroneously taken down, I have concentrated all of my efforts on this site. You can imagine my annoyance at learning that Google’s search engine is also silencing me.
Google has succeeded in crawling over 100 pages on my site, but is only indexing 1 of those pages.
Because of Google’s functional monopoly over search and internet traffic, being excluded from the Google search engine index makes adding new information to this site an exercise in shouting into the darkness (BUT, thank you Bing for indexing this site! I can only hope that Bing increases market share and reduce Google’s control over what can — and cannot — be found on the internet).
Accordingly, I’m going to slow down in my posting schedule. In fact, I’m planning to slow down a lot. I’ve hired an expert to figure out why my site is not being indexed. He estimates it will take as long as 3 months — perhaps more — to resolve this issue. In light of that, daily posting seems like the kind of thing I should delay. It is a lot of work (which I’m fine doing if people can actually find it), and until the site becomes visible to Google, it doesn’t make sense to put in that level of effort.
