Mugen Monday - Tenth Edition

If you’re out of touch with what goes into the insider world of the million websites attempting to rank into Google’s finest picked top articles on page 1 of the search index, this Mugen Monday’s editorial is here to let you know exactly that.

With the internet, change is imminent. Although often time one does hope that good changes ride out a little longer than the bad ones.

Having climbed the hierarchy of ranking in Google is by no means an easy feat, but imagine a policy update that changes things upside down.

I know, I know. This is supposed to be an all-anime content, but trust me, what I am about to rant on about does have its due relevance. So far the Spiel Anime website has been riding the good bus of high article view counts. But it seems the latest ‘helpful policy update’ of Google has been unkind to a lot of many websites, including us.

What is it on the get-go?

Basically, Google has decided that in the rising age of AI, sorting information through inorganic means is quite easy to write about.

As if a game developer finally decided to up the difficulty for its players, Google has identified a new algorithm for identifying what is helpful and what isn’t.

It’s quite complicated, and technical, but the basic gist of it is that content that is more personal to the writer, which is endowed not with information copied from other sites on the internet but gained through true wisdom, will be prioritized over the non-wisdom ones. The age of information has finally taken shape to become the age of wisdom.

Where from here?

But guess what? Spiel Anime the website has always been about writing organic Anime articles derived from the finest creative juices of our writers who have more often than not actually seen the Anime they are writing about and experienced the bliss. But, technically speaking it isn’t always possible.

Working in the industry, one often has to associate themselves with Anime they may not have seen. Unlike the newsletter, which is always more personalized/subjective and ‘organic’ than most of its article counterparts.

Is it possible for every website article to be a personalized newsletter? That’s a thing worth considering.
