How the machine sees this site

  • Not in the top million domains. No big engine has ranked it for anything.
  • A feed. Readers can follow the site without a platform in between.
  • No trackers. Nobody is counting the readers.
  • The navigation carries a commercial page or two.

Why search does not surface this site, and why that is the machine's problem.
