Google-able

Google is frustrating me lately and makes me pissed.

Yes, Blogger is, ironically, a Google thing.

...Allow me to back up a bit and start this story properly...

I met Arkad Baxton, a really cool guy who ran the Avatar Social Network site, a little before I started this blogging journey, back in 2018.  He taught me a lot about business-related things (from how to advertise things I sell in SL, to even using Grammarly).  

Most importantly, he taught me about Pinging.  Imagine my surprise when this blog that I created, originally intended for a simple adoption application, suddenly became searchable on Google ...just from just using Ping-o-Matic! 

#TodayIsBroughtToYouBy na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na YES, WE CAN!  \m/

...Yup, "Notes From Majik..." was rank 1 when you searched for it on Google.  I was even comparing those results to Bixyl Shuftan's SL Newser, which also uses Blogger and has been around way longer.

As time went on, I was also encouraged to use Facebook and Twitter to help secure these results.  It worked.

However, about six months to a year or so ago, I started to notice how this blog wasn't rank 1 anymore when I searched for it on Google.  In fact, it stopped showing up in the search results at all.  I wasn't worried, tho.  I believed that maybe I had just gotten too busy in RL and needed to ping it some more, and it would fix itself.  That is how I fixed the Zamargad Wix site, back when Angels and Demons were coming up as rank 1, in a search for "Zamargad." 

But after about a month of pinging, with no satisfactory results, I knew something was very wrong.  So I started my research as to WTF it could be.  

One thing was for sure, Google turned this into a complicated nightmare, where I had to make and associate a Google Analytics thing.  0.o  Even named it "Under His Eye" as a sick Handmaid's Tale joke ...out of resentment, really.  xD

Still nothing.

I kinda thought I was a nerd, but it's not like Google explains things very clearly.  And fuck me for thinking I could find layman-friendly videos on how to write blogs for SEO optimization, as nobody seems to write from the heart anymore (it's all done by keyword programs and filler)!  Color me "dumbfounded."  ...I still can not figure out why the fuck this thing is coming up in every other search engine BUT Google.  Even searched for variables like, "notes from MajikVixen" or "notes from MajikVixen Lorefield" to absolutely no avail.  Second Life things come up, of course, but not "Notes From Majik..."

At this point, I have frustratedly thrown money at this problem, hoping to make it go away.  Yes, I talent-scouted someone from Fiverr to have a look at whatever the fuck is wrong ...as I would rather go down as an idiot (who can only go so far with their knowledge of HTML), than someone who gives up on everything completely (on something they didn't realize would become their brainchild)!  :)  

Fiverr is an interesting experience, as I've never used it and had only heard of it, up until this point.  I'm hoping everything that's been done, will work in about a month or so (as these things do take some time, unfortunately).  ...Wix makes SEO stuff so much easier than Blogger, TBH.  Anyway... If you happened to find this thru a Google search, perhaps wondering how it can be done with your site, I would like to refer you to ---> Alina @ https://www.fiverr.com/alina_seo?source=inbox, as she's the uber-awesome, amazeballs badass who helped reconfigure everything so that it could be put back into Google!  \m/

Meanwhile, I've been writing and making new entries like crazy, not only because it's a new year and all that  :) ... but also because I'm hoping it will somehow help to trigger something, in whatever FUBAR search engine optimization algorithm thing that Google did, to function once again.  

Very therapeutic too.  I had forgotten how much I love to write ...And there's nothing like a bad experience to piss you off enough to want to vacate the animosity from within you, like writing.  Plus, others benefit from reading your shit too ...if you're good enough.  :p

And if all that ends up being for nothing, I have one more ace up the sleeve recourse before I have to clean up broken shards, from a fit of my own rage!  xD  ...I almost forgot that I, thankfully, know a web designer who will give me a snippet of code, if Google continues to not behave after Alina kicked its ass.

I have also found in my research, that Google is actually not the optimal search engine anymore (no matter how cool it is to type "do a barrel roll" into it).  It's so filled with spam that the artificial intelligence won't give accurate search results.  ...I didn't even notice, TBH.  I have an ad-blocker extension and have always seen complaints about Google (although, now I'm starting to take them more seriously).  ...Before anyone wonders, tho, no, I'm still avoiding putting ads on here.  Money has never been my motivation, prestige always has.  But yeah, it's gotten so bad that, apparently, adding "/reddit" to your search, is a legitimate workaround for getting real results now, which is kinda sad.  And something else I finally came across is the refined web search protocol ...Not that it would necessarily work on Google anymore (because I guess Google is as vast as the internet has become, and "now the internet has become full of shit"), but, it seems to come in handy on thesaurus.com's new drop-down auto-fill menu bullshit.  >:S

At any rate, technology has uncontrollably changed yet again ...for the "better" of humanity... but really, only to fuck us in the ass repeatedly.  xD  ...Not going down without a fight, tho.  As always, "Rock the First Amendment.  Piss on discrimination."  ...Whoever you are and wherever you're from, thank you for reading what I have to say in this little sanctuary on the world wide web.  I love passing notes to you (and would even enjoy some notes passed back, from time to time).  You are always welcome here, and I hope you enjoy, or are at least somewhat amused, by the ideas I present (and how).  :p  ♥

"Judge Me,"

 she said, with venom.  With the meaning of ripping wings off a freshly spawned phoenix.  As if she even owed an explanation.


I have many unpublished posts from late:

"Tao of Fehu" was about power.  Decided to not publish because everyone would figure out who that was about, and I'm not done on hope with them yet.

"Tell Me A Story" was personal.  Mostly about Lilith and Samael.  Unpublished because it mixed RL & SL and was never good enough for such a battle of deformation (when it was more intended as an adoration piece, but likely -and sadly- would never be interpreted as such).

"Sell Me This Pen" was a mock to see if I could write about something dry and straightforward.  I didn't like it and decided that job wasn't worth it anyway, so everyone can just go fuck off with that.

"Fuck You" was a piece about the plague pandemic and how everyone being forced to take the vaccine or wear a mask, somehow sarcastically relates to how doctors can force women to get pap smears every year (just so she can get the pill -because men are too selfish to get vasectomies).  Go figure, on why I didn't publish that very complicated and backward insult that nobody would quite get.

"Wouldn't It Be Nice" was a fictitious tale of love I was going write, along the same lines of selling you a pen that I also didn't care to.

One of these was actually published, ignoring my own personal rules of pictures and "I can't fucking read this!" links, but with a purpose.

"Come At Me, Bro" is a collection of commentary on the unnecessary flack I get from fishing and/or my ranks, but as it treads on violating the TOS, I obviously didn't publish it (however, it is ready for that right moment, should an unjust/stupid ban ever come to fruition).

...I just find that I seem to be more at peace with myself lately than ready to spew my normal thought-provoking toxin.  I enjoy fishing and weekly sales more than I do anything else lately.  Lucky you.  Although, perhaps one day I would feel the calling to actually publish those posts.

But as one of my posts from over a year ago was brought to my attention as some sorta prophetic gospel, from not really a fan, but more of a judgemental stalker... I just thought I'd take a few moments to point out that: 

• I'm not dead.  I'm not thwarted, either.  I am Majik.
• You do not own me, I am my own entity that cannot be bribed in any way.  I do not work for you or anyone else.  
• An uncontrollable spirit of creativity possesses me and takes over to communicate whatever it wants.  
• I will not be cut up, smooshed into a specific cookie-cut shape, or molded to fit whatever reflection pleases you.  I am uncensored and like it that way.  
• I do have the final say, however.  Some is published and shared.  Some is not.  
• And in the journalistic interest of getting things right the first time, as well as seeing growth, I do not take anything down.  Retractions may be done, if necessary, but no editing on published articles.
• I have many posts.  Some controversially outweigh the others in some huge twist of irony... Or perhaps, more likely, I am undecided on a definite stance.  The fact that you pick out one in the midst of many, says how superficially narrow and unworthy you are of judgment, however.

I am willing to live with those consequences.  Anyone who cannot appreciate those notions, doesn't deserve me entertaining them.  And likewise, you have the right to take yourself elsewhere and very simply not entertain me either.

I'll also refer you back to the Home-Page and Archives for purpose and timeline.
