Design Principles

For all sites, we should observe the following:

• Don’t use external services like CloudFlare (why not?).
• The sites should load all text and image content even when scripts are blocked.
• The sites should not leak any data to external services such as google and Facebook.
• The compulsory cookie notices should be small and unobtrusive because we will have traffic from traffic swap and ptc sites to a certain extent and the cookie warnings should not obscure anything.

SEO

We write about what we are doing in the most efficient and accurate way possible. We do not adapt what we write to suit the whims of a few people who are in charge of giant tech companies. For us the search engines may or may not send us users and we understand that it is not under our control at all and so we make no efforts in that direction. See “marketing“.

Further, companies like google do not provide unbiased search results and are thus worthless as search engines to anyone but themselves. We will rely on our own outreach via our members and other visitors. We are a community not a ghetto.
