For no good reason, I’ve had a fire lit under me to… restart the fires.
I’m not writing for myself, anymore. Sometimes I chunk out a commission, after great passages of time. I’m not even working on any books, though my online library needs an update as direly as my boots need a polishing. I’m not creating anything in Daz, I haven’t pasted together a collage in weeks. I have at least three interviews that need finishing and posting. What is it I think I have, to flag anyone’s attention?
Well, I’ve been studying SEO/SEM for work. I’ve been tasked to read up on all this “gaming the search engines” bullshit and appraise my department of it, for as long as it’s still relevant. A lot of it is simplistic: recipe sites are notorious for padding their pages out with bullshit that no one wants to read, because they believe the longer you’re there, the more valuable their site is. They don’t realize people just want to know how to prepare a fucking salmon and what goes with it and also not kill anyone who eats it. Medium, unfortunately, also subscribes to this notion, rewarding writers who make site visitors drag their eyeballs around for unduly stretches of time.
Yet this metric is valid for Instagram and YouTube and shit like that. If people watch your videos longer, then YouTube will promote them to users who might like your shit, and you rise to the top like foam in a waste treatment tank. But your content doesn’t have to be good, it just has to attract views.
That’s a shitty system, and everyone’s switching to it. But it wasn’t always this way, and I know it won’t always be this way, so it kinda feels pointless to study up on it. As soon as marketers figure out how to game this shit, media will figure out another way to track attention and worth, because that’s what happened before. And I’m in marketing, so I know the work I’m putting in now will be irrelevant in… maybe a year.
But as long as I’m learning it for work, I can also use it for home, and I’ve been massaging the text on some of the pages on my site to angle more toward my interests. There’s no one, single word for “shrunken man” or “tiny man,” unfortunately. I’m not going to use leprechaun or gnome, and I have a deep personal distaste for mant. But people don’t search for “mant” or “Tinies” unless they’re already in the Size scene, and if they’re here, they likely already know me. What I’m looking to attract is the naif, like me three decades ago, executing a short-tail informational search for what I write. Does he know to type in “tiny man”? Is he going to phrase it “little person” or “bitty guy”? I don’t know, but I can use SEO/SEM to hedge my bets.
For that, I have to look at my competitors. That is how I learned that Olo’s website is astonishingly popular in terms of traffic and topic searches. Holy shit. After that, Solomon’s review site also garners a lot of good attention. And I learned that I don’t do too shabbily either, for certain keywords, but the three of us together earn a fraction of the traffic that Eka’s Portal gets on a bad day. Not even Giantess City or Giantess World can begin to compete.
I’d definitely get better visibility in a web search if I diversified my topics of interest. Olo has a much broader palate than I do, and that’s why people find him. But I don’t want to write about stuff outside my area of interest; the downside to that is that “giantess” is a highly competitive term that I’m not going to gain any ground on. I’ve got to find that sweet spot between “highly desired” and “obscure goddamn search term” to claim a parcel of land as my own.
Oh, and those links, two paragraphs up? That’s important. When I post links here for those sites, they become “backlinks” for those sites. You want healthy backlinks, coming from places that are actively promoting your interests. “Toxic backlinks” are garbage sites, like places that post thousands of unrelated terms, hoping to get visitors to stop by so they can scrape a little data. I’ve spent the afternoon disavowing toxic backlinks to my website.
And I also learned that, through some categorization system, my website is classified as:
- Books & Literature > Writers Resources
- Health > Reproductive Health > Sex Education & Counseling
- People & Society > Ethnic & Identity Groups
- Arts & Entertainment > Offbeat > Edgy & Bizarre
… among many others. I approve of this, though I wish I knew which governing body was in charge of it.
I also discovered, through studying backlinks, that I was listed in an article (among my friends and co-conspirators), “7 Best Giantess Porn Sites,” on Red Light Network in a subsection covering artists and writers. I wasn’t notified of this article but I appreciated the inclusion, and I wrote to the author to thank him.
And then I learned that Chat GPT4 is so much more awesome than the regular version. And I learned a bunch of workarounds to get Starry AI to produce the porn I want, mostly. And then, and then, and then …
So I actually have been doing a bunch of research, one way or another. Here’s a smattering of things people should know about.
A lightweight Russian production company has produced a series of videos called “Zoom Zoom,” named after the shrinking potion in these videos. They generated hundreds of cute little skits with two enthusiastic actors, polished them with state-of-the-art Adobe tracking effects, and then translated their narration into English, Spanish, and Turkish. They’re all SFW and bright ‘n’ cheerful, though they seemingly toe the line (butt crush, vore, stomp, smoochies, etc.) while depicting dozens of things you can do with a shrunken partner.
There’s a band called Giantess.
They put out an album called Big Woman. Look at it. She’s masturbating and flipping you off. My wife loves that.
I started listening to their song “Good Looking Girls” and then went through the album. I seem to like it a lot, though of course I may be biased.
One way to boost your website is to request positive backlinks, where you write to someone and say, hey, link to me. But few of the sites that were recommended had any way to do that. Still, through keyword analysis, I found word of an artistically animated short film, Un Petit Homme (A Tiny Man) that won some blah-dee-blah award. I have no idea how I’ll ever get to see this.
ITEM! EventGuide has picked up International Giantess Day, so now you have no excuses.
ITEM! The worst time to present yourself to a Biggo is when he’s on a four-day meth jag.
ITEM! Got a taste for fine shrunken man art, but broke? Browse a stock image site for free. (Be advised, not everybody understands the instructions.)
Sometimes Size Fantasy gets picked up by legitimate publishing. Please enjoy Sam Shepard’s “Tiny Man” in the New Yorker and Manuel Gonzales’s “The Miniature Wife.”
If you were following me on Mastodon you’d know all this already, but here you go.
