Notes on cleaning up the search results

I have been testing how fast search results change when you publish more of your own stuff. A week ago an old Post Star piece was sitting up high. After posting here and on Medium it already moved down. So you do not always need a reputation company. You just have to publish steady and point people to what you want seen.

The Times Union ran an op ed from me on Sunday. It is behind a paywall so I am not expecting a stampede of readers. I wrote it because it was worth saying. That is enough.

Still writing. Still sober. Still moving forward.
