Blinded by the Light: Links Not Considered Click-Worthy

I promised more experimental internet poetry — here it is!

The problem: Spam comments have petered out, their number seems to scale with posting frequency. The quality of search terms for this blog has improved, and most terms are technical and dull.

I turned to untapped raw material – finally I know what last year’s web development project was good for. As predicted, views plummeted after merging three sites into one and picking a country domain. The upside is that search terms got much better.

The following ‘poem’ is built from phrases displayed in Google Search Console (formerly called Webmaster Tools) for my personal website. I am picking from search terms in the list of Impressions: which means my pages appeared in the list of results but most of them were not clicked; hence the title of this post.

  1. You will always find a way! One day you will find a way to match musical notes to your words. Kraftwerk will finally get some competition :-)

      … and I have to get more and more ‘innovative’ as there are less spam comments and search terms after I have reduced blogging frequency to two posts per month ;-)

  2. Yet another poetic genre to be born here. I especially like ‘galaxy life hacked.’ Keep it up … at that cutting edge of literary creativity. D

      Yeah, I’m glad to see something good come up given the dearth of search term poetry these days.
