Way too much controversy, heartache & other horror stories & there is enough of that on the News these days. I like using the computer as an extra luxury to my life, but hope I'll never get to depend on it solely as some people are doing. I love digital photography especially, so finding what something look likes on the internet is great. <br />I'm not much help, but Google is my go to & does at times bring up some funny info on what you are searching for & that can be a giggle in itself. Have a great weekend, hope the weather is kinder, take care & huggles.

I recommend you read Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe by Roger McNamee - it's only just come out and I ordered it into the library here. Horrifying read! The internet in general ... I hardly do FB - but realise one needs to ... especially bloghops (I do WEP and #WAWTB) ... and Blogspot is Google ... years ago I was warned - but it seems like FB is the worst ... no accountability there at all - nor responsive the rest of us in the world - who need a degree of care. It's an interesting time and life ... <br /><br />If you look in .com ... it'll be different to co.uk or the Irish one or the Canadian one ... as too no doubt .de - having one's website absolutely outfront in all countries is really the only way for everything to be as you expect it - but that costs to maintain etc ... <br /><br />That book is so so worth reading!

Google have changed their searchablility and now bring up knowledge panels if you have enough visibility so we're working through where they're finding the information that they show and making sure it all lines up.

Google for ...When searching - Google and facebook.<br /><br />Google for something factual, and if not successful immediately, change the wording - it is to do with the 'meta-tags' assigned to the webpage (for example - if it is for a garden centre - words like plant can take you to heavy earth works and machinery.) so when starting a new page you have to put every single last word you can imagine that would cover your music - so folk, guitar, duo, traditional, Irish etc - Look up SEO for Musicians (search engine optimization - I think) it gives you ideas what to list and where to list them<br />Facebook - is an amazing font of all things findable! you can look for the individual person or via a group page, specific genre or via the band name - all things that can easily be linked to your own page so folk can find you<br />hope that helps!kjsutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064786032612487652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841505878252085938.post-14246602308929939472019-06-12T21:20:52.078+01:002019-06-12T21:20:52.078+01:00On my computer I just check Google.

I'm not on FB, so if I want to find a person, I may look at one of those person search engines, after getting started on Google. But I don't do that very often. And your ducks looks so different from any other ducks I have seen.Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.com
