A New Problem for my Online Writing: Tweetmeme

This online writing venture is full of obstacles not just the ones that are existing at any point of time but new ones keep cropping up every now and then. Why is it getting so hard man?

Recently our blog host, BLOGGER changed the URLs of Indian blogs from .blogspot.com to .blogspot.in. That didn't immediately affect the search engine traffic though. But it did increase the future SEO difficulties of the site by creating uncertainty over its page rank visibility.

Google page ranks have disappeared overnight. Now the social bookmarking site tweetmeme that is based on tweets is removing that tweeted pages that have only 1 tweet. Tweetmeme was one main reason why I do tweeting. It was a PR7 site giving a simple backlink. I give a link back to it to make it little powerful as the tweeted page itself is noway to be accessible from anywhere else other than from what I tweet. Now the past few tweets that are single tweets have all gone.

On one hand, I couldn't quantify whether tweetmeme is having any effect on my articles at all. On other hand, my options are shrinking.

Looks like getting social on some bookmarking sites is not an option now for the web-2.0-member-cum-web-1.0 admins but mandatory.

Writing for Humans or Search Engines

What gives success for a writer? Writing for a search engine or writing for the human? Writing can be made suitable for both if it is sincerely targeted towards expressing the ideas of a writer. On the other hand some people just write to the humans without even giving a reasonable title to the article or writing piece.

Some people write just to the search engines that contain nothing but keywords as if they are written forms of some chanting of mantras, chanting hymns or recitations of poems or voodoo magic witchcraft games.
