Why Am I Worrying About What Google's Search Robot Thinks?
As I built the website, I started getting deeper and deeper into it.
It had started out simple.
If I made something useful, Google would connect it with the people who needed it.
I believed that, and started building my website.
But as I worked on it, another question came up.
How does Google know what my website is about?
I asked AI.
"How does Google's search robot know what my website is about?"
As AI explained it, Google's search robot moves around the internet, discovers web pages, and figures out what they're about.
That raised another question.
"What if the search robot comes to my site and can't quite figure out what it is?"
"It's best to make the page clear so search engines can easily understand what it's about."
That made sense.
I'd only been thinking about how the site looked to people.
Now I realized I also had to make it clear to the search robot what I'd built.
What should I put in the title so it understands?
What about the description?
The page address?
Should I clearly say "white noise"?
Should I mention "black screen" too?
Now I had even more to think about.
Then I suddenly laughed.
Just a few days earlier, I barely even knew what the web was.
And now here I was,
wondering what Google's search robot would think when it looked at my website.
