Recently I noticed via search console that the traffic coming to my blog dropped quite significantly. From daily views of around 200, it dropped down to less than 50 on certain days. This was quite strange, as I checked the blog traffic regularly and never saw such low numbers. A closer look showed that it was mainly due to my blog no longer appearing when certain specific terms are searched for, chief of which is "Singapore crossdresser" or "Singaporean crossdresser". I thought that due to the competition for eyeballs and recognition of content relevancy, my blog got bumped down in search engine results. To be fair, I was a bit busy with life so blog posts came out about once a month. Maybe a bit slower than that. 

But I can't even find my blog on pages 2, 3 and even up to page 5! Heck, sometimes I don't even see it at all. Somehow, the SEO gods and their crawler robots decided whimsically that my blog is "not worthy" and no longer appears when the same terms that used to turn up my blog are searched for.  

I seriously don't know why this happened, since I never changed the meta tags for my blog. Maybe Google changed their algorithm. 

While I started this blog mainly to document my journey, I think some off the content is relevant to newbie crossdressers and those starting to discover themselves, especially in Singapore. There was a bit of pride when others told me that some of my posts helpful or resonated with them. 

So it pisses me off quite a bit when now I Google and I can't find my blog easily. All I see are (i) dating sites, (ii) shops selling clothes and accessories for crossdressers and (iii) shitty news articles about crossdressers getting caught for flouting the law.

Not cool Google. Not cool at all. Put me back on your search engine! 😡😡
