I can give a brief update on the two thrusts through the SEO system. One: The Search Engines have finally caught up with what's happening on this site. I'm seeing a few pages pop up depending on particular keywords, and finally the site front page (This one) is showing up first. To sum it up, the name W.M. DeSilva is finally hitting the right notes with the systems, across websites. It doesn't meant that the name is coming up when someone types in something too simple (Such as books, or Author), but I have a few ideas about that I want to try in the future.
Two: I think the conventional thinking about Youtube's algorithm is wrong, Not only am I not seeing more concerning impressions on videos after following the strict formula everyone talks about, but I've ventured off on the side to try and massage the system into at least putting the videos in recommended feeds. I'll probably continue working this until October, but unless something drastic happens, I think my energy is better spent somewhere else. To be honest, making and uploading videos at the pace the algorithm likes is a part time job, and has distracted from every other part of life. It was worth the effort to find out first hand, but I can't recommend Youtube or Rumble, and probably not any other video site as an author looking for an avenue to sell books.
That's it. I just wanted to give any future readers who are here simply for that side of my endeavors an update. Hopefully next time We're here I'll have some other attempts set up.
(Side note worth putting here instead of wasting another post: I'll be playing around with Amazon's Ad system again, I'm hoping to do a complete write up on that when the times comes.
