MASTODON POSTS GETTING NOTICED ON THE WEB
Mastodon Post

Google claims that it has been indexing this server, C.IM, for ten years. Not that I've noticed. Nonetheless, with some apparent lack of expertise on their part, Google is effectively indexing some of our posts.

Some of the indexing works. Some of it doesn't. For instance, a supposed link to a post of mine about the music band, Roomful of Blues, actually links to whatever post I have made most recently. Not good.

Nonetheless Pt. 2, I am really glad that some of my posts are getting indexed and that a decent amount of the indexing works as it should. You may be glad too. This could be a lot worse.

To take advantage of the indexing that functions properly, I have taken to including

Mastodon Post

prominently in my posts. An example is at the top of this post. That way, the vast majority of Web searchers who have no idea what C.IM means can get the idea that they are seeing something via Mastodon. I am also trying to do better at getting names and terms in my hashtags also represented in the post's main text. Not sure how many people search the Web on a briantylercohen hashtag, but probably a heck of a lot of people run Web searches on Brian Tyler Cohen.

Just some thoughts as to how we might be able to get more help from our friends at Google to attract more attention to things we make a real effort to put out there.

My c.im account / links.

* The first one is my page.
* The second link is my new / verication page.
* The third link is my verification page.
* The fourth is my page for sending me gifts, if you want. Like my and places you can send tips (I no longer run ads on my blogs). (I'm planning to update this to also include a list of invite and referral codes.)

I like verification methods that can work for different services. I think it all comes down to / . If you can establish something is in your control, you can list your official accounts there. Any account not listed should be confirmed first.

That said, I'm thinking of reviving my “other verified accounts” page on my website, where other accounts currently not supported by Whosum, Keyoxide, and , are listed.
