I'm a little embarrassed since I don't do nearly as much as other stewards, pollinators and staff! Congrats to all the others here! And Karen, kudos (apples and pie) to you for more of your
amazingly awesome alliterations!
I think the algorithm might be biased toward one simple thing I do frequently on the back end (IOW with my staff privileges): I make sure we have links that are either white listed/follow or black listed/no follow. It's a search engine optimization (SEO) thing.
Speaking of SEO, if you have your own blog or website, and you put a hyperlink to it in your profile signature*, the more you post at permies, the more good search juju goes to your website!
Plus, the more we post links to permies or
permaculture topics around the web, you know, on your own blog or website, on social media, etc.; the more these things will come up in search engines as solutions for others! Let's flood the interwebs with
permaculture good things!
