📈 Similar Worlds #️⃣ pages Indexed, UP 3x since Group Consolidation 🚀

The number of webpages from Similar Worlds being indexed by Google [i](which will resultingly translate to other Search Engines)[/i],
has [b]increased by Threefold (x3) since our release of Group Consolidation[/b], / Restructuring,
which was done on [u]July 23rd, 2021[/u].
[i](Initial improvement changes were started in the prior month of June.)[/i]

This will lead to future growth on SW, in the coming months and years ahead.

📈 [b]More Pages Indexed = More Visitors = More Signups & Growth[/b] 🚀

This is as we have strategized, which is that these recent changes will improve the overall "Site Quality", Relevance and Organization, over time.

The real benefits to users, will be more visible once we have implemented the planned significant improvements to our "Relevance Algorithms", which will provide more relevant:

• Posts & Comments in Feeds
• Search Results
• Users, Activities, Recommendations
etc...

[sep]

While we understand that many users will not be happy with many of our decisions made in improving/adjusting the way how this site works and operates,

we (SW Staff) DO definitely always consider user feedback, very strongly, in every decision we make.

[sep]

Please note that a "Majority Vote" on a public poll (for example) will not always be indicative of the path we have decided to take on a decision,
(especially for years old feedback polls, where many factors would have since changed).

There will always be a lot of crucial data that is only available to SW Staff (just as with any other website/service), that also factors heavily in the final decisions we make.

[sep]

We continue to look forward to incoming growth for SW, in the coming months. 👍

Many of our recent and in-development changes to this site, are being done, in part, to allow and facilitate such user growth,
as well as to provide a higher quality experience to all of our users, in the long-term.


Thanks for your continued feedback, support and patience! 🙂

Kind regards,
-SW Staff

@adorbz
[b]"Relevant Users"[/b] = Users you frequently interact with [i](mostly positive interactions)[/i], who may not be on your Friends/Circle list.

@PirateMonkeyCabinet
Crawlers access and Navigate through websites, in the same way Regular/Default users do.

It would be Manipulation / Obscuring of what the site actually is/contains, by intently showing Crawlers different content to what is available to regular users.

@Andrew ok 😅 presumably the same thing that works out whose comments are in my feed if I turn that off of friends only? Maybe I need to look at that more often and work out who those are 🤪

But thanks for this solution! I think it will satisfy most people who’ve been concerned about what’s been figured out today 😌 I hope it will anyway. Seems pretty solved to me, allows for every way people wanna use the site.

@adorbz there is so much going on today! And I'm not home to try to figure it all out lol 😂


So "Relevant Users" = people you PM? Even if neither of y'all are followers of each other?

@Viper no but that might affect it? Relevant users are people who you regularly interact with in the feed. Turn comments on in your feed and that probably uses the same list

@adorbz oh? So in the feed?
adorbz · 26-30, F
@Viper mostly I think. I have not really paid attention to this feature before I always have comments set to friends only 😅
