Should you optimize your personal blog for SEO in 2024?
This morning I read a piece by The Verge that outlined how the modern web is being shaped almost entirely around SEO, even when authors don’t want it to be. I took a quick look at my Google Search Console, and to my surprise I was actually getting impressions for some search terms other than my name. I’ve never actually tried to engineer the SEO for this blog in any way, as I don’t have any need to. This site doesn’t generate any revenue, and reader numbers only serve as feedback to me that I am writing something worth reading.
