I Googled Myself (Yes, Again) And This Is What I Found This Time

Mark Daniel Korvin

Now here's the thing. I don't do this for any kind of ostentatious putting-on of airs. I'm not vain at all. Just the opposite. You can ask my psychiatrist. Or my therapist. 

No, I am occasionally Googling myself to see if Google has had any sweet sweet mercy on #Blogger and indexed our #blogs at all. Because we would really like Google to index our blogs. Lack of blog indexing is a frequent topic of discussion in certain web forums. Also Reddit.

It's so frustrating, you guys. I've been blogging for 25+ years. I write about a variety of topics from a Gen X point of view. Women's issues. Immigration. Equality. Civil rights. Race relations. LGBTQIA issues. Donald Fucking Trump. Class warfare. Nazis. Guns. God. Depression. Anxiety. Music. Local music. Movies, especially horror movies. Comedy. Shopping. Thrifting. Cooking. Writing. I don't use AI. I have no dead links. I signed on with a marketing company for a few years so I had a kind of crash course in SEO: keywords, titles, headers and other things you're supposed to do to drive traffic to your blog. I like to think I'm a good writer--I've done it professionally, and people tend to tell me my stuff is enjoyable. But no matter what I try (Google Search Console, Site Mapping, Index Requests, etc) I can't seem to get past this indexing issue. SO. FRUSTRATING.

Well. Anyway. I Googled "Diary of a Low Budget Superhero" this time--last time I Googled my handle "SuperLowBudge."  Know what I found? I found that the #Google #AI robot is writing about me in the past tense. Should I be worried or…I mean...did I die? Then why am I so tired.

Mind you, this doesn't mean Google is indexing the Blog. 

Well. Anyway. Here's what the robot says.

And it invites you to "Deep Dive" on that:

Apparently I’m “self-deprecating, raw, and fragmented.” Great. Just what I was going for, all these years of blogging. Yep. Fragmented. 

Well. That tracks.💔
