I’m going to include Bigboxstore in the first paragraph of this blog post, because I think search engines will like it. I’m also going to use the keywords “top online wholesaler from China“, too, because that might give our PageRank on Google a bit of a boost. I’m also going to use them in the middle of my blog post and at the end, because Google really likes seeing words repeated throughout an article, even if most real and readable writers don’t really write like that. Essentially, I’m just ranting today because I’m really wondering exactly what my work is all about, what I do on the site, how do I influence this industry, and why do we rank so low on Google right now?

To be quite honest about the Google question, I really don’t know. The first week I was blogging for Bigboxstore, all but one of my blog posts found themselves right up on the very first search page that would come up after doing a search with four reasonable and realistic keywords. The next week after that and every time since then even searching the entire title of my post doesn’t make it come up to the top. What happened to Google?! Well, I really don’t know.

But really, look back at those posts I made, they were great! They copied nobody (I didn’t even quoute), they were written from my own research, and they followed my own writing style. So what happened then? Did I put it in too many categories or did I use irrelevant tags or did I pad it with keywords? Heck no! Look them up and read them again if you want, they were good! Even my boss said that about them. I think I write like a proper writer, I don’t put Bigboxstore or top online wholesaler from China into the top, middle, and end of my posts like I’m doing now just because it will get me a better Google PageRank.

I’m a real writer, I pride myself in doing honest work, in not re-writing, in not summarizing, and in not copying other peoples ideas, and I find it kind of insulting that Google isn’t putting work that I’ve put a lot of effort into (sometimes doing work off-the-clock – I don’t always consider my research worth billing) back up on the first search pages where it deserves to be (or at least where it deserved to be before). I don’t even optimize keywords, because I consider that an insult to my intelligence – none of my articles, not even those that made it to the very first Google search page in the past were optimized for certain keywords. I just wrote. I wrote because I love to write, it’s a passion of mine – just as long as I’m not writing something that I goes against my principles as a writer and as an individual.

I’m a fan of Stephen King. I love the no-nonsense way that he writes. He tells great stories because he just writes in a simple way. There are no fancy words, there are no crazy formats, there is no real formula to his writing, just a man telling a good story the best way he can. I try to do the same thing – tell people about the good things I see in Bigboxstore and their products. I try not to show bias in my writing, you’ll find that my reviews will even include the negative aspects that I see about products in the store.

I admit, not everything about the products is good. Bigboxstore offers compromises for the expensive brand name products that capitalism has produced and put way out of the reach of the common John Doe in terms of cost. Not all the products we offer can do everything that their original counterparts do because one, China is still playing the catch-up game in terms of technology if compared to the west, but they’re getting there, and two, because capitalism also drives the prices of raw materials up, driving up the production costs for absolute quality, as well. And I write about that too, I don’t say that the phones, or the laptops, or the cameras that I review can do everything you expect them to do. I write about them in the context they best fit in.

So what can I do about Google right now? It all seems to be so messed up. I doubt any form of optimization is going to make my blog posts come back up on the first Google search pages – at least until they revise their search algorithms once again. I read about happenings like these all the time anyway, and they all say that the best thing to do is just wait and keep writing. After several months, Google might look at you again with love in their eyes. Oh please, oh please, Google! I don’t want to be forced have to include Bigboxstore and top online wholesaler from China at the top, middle, and bottom of my posts anymore.
