Speaking to the google search results – It’s pretty hard to just rise up the google rankings. We’ve done the basic advice: the crawled page contains the post titles and keywords, made sure google finds the mobile view is satisfactory. It’s likely there more we can do but it’s not straightforward. Complicating matters is that during the great spampocalypse in May, we were hit with a punitive action from google, because we were polluting their ranking algorithm with spam links. You may remember a time when there were no results linking to posts at all. We fixed it, but it’s possible (and I’d guess likely) that we’re still getting dinged for that. Unfortunately, google gives us no way of knowing.
