Why can't our Donkey & Elephant be as fun as these guys?
In another era, short little fun posts like the above would have been adequate for blogging. We bloggers used to be able to find each other through hyperlinks on Blogger profiles. That has gone away. And, now, to be indexed with Google, we must show expertise. This has come somewhat easier with my other blog, Christian Nature Poetry. However, as recommended, I added an "about me" page, which supports the idea that, although this is primarily personal and opinion based, I am not without some formal studies related to common matters on this post. [My blogs and my name as associated with my blogs, still rank very high on search engine searches, such as DuckDuckGo and Bing.]
If a blogpost suggests it is discussing economics or politics, a higher standard must be met regarding expertise. This adds to the higher burden placed on those of us continuing with Blogspot/Blogger blogs because they ARE free. I have discovered this information, which falls into the category of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) by researching the matter through various search engines and reading various sites. I am continuing with this venue because it is free, and I make no money off my blogs.
Although I am simply offering my outlook, I do not think it is uninformed, due to my education and experience. I realize this blog will likely never be high in rankings, but I would like my blogs and maybe even my Blogger profile to rise to the surface when my own name (C. Marie Byars) is Googled. Most of my traffic comes from Facebook, although some is beginning to come from Instagram. Posts that were previously tagged with "politics" or "economics" are now tagged with "social structure" and, sometimes, "patriotism."
