kissu (the search term) actually has really poor Google rankings.
does well on Bing, but for whatever reason the Google bots don't like the pages and would rather advertise the female cosmetics product of the same name.

oddly enough the more I correct errors that google tells me are bad, the worse the rankings have gotten.

>>7184I think google just hates imageboards in general, nothing you can really do about it.

>>7188I suspect it's because they constantly cycle content.

Google values quality content that passes spell check and text density stuff. So naturally an imageboard isn't going to rank as well on Google.
Although, there are a few errors on these pages that SEO tools will tell you about. IDK if they make too much of difference, but doesn't hurt to follow the rules if you want to show up in search results.

>>7197I doubt the kind of people who would find this site from a google search are much worse than the average imageboard user in 2021.
No.7219
>>7200I'd argue they're probably better. A lot of the big imageboards instill a bunch of bad habits in the people who use them. Someone with next to no experience with imageboards still has the potential to become a good poster. People who regularly use /b/ /r9k/ and /pol/ boards are so far gone that there's absolutely zero chance of them ever posting anything good.
No.7227
>>7219Yeah, I agree. With the general reputation imageboards have had the past few years I don't think I can say a random person is going to be good. You've got 4chan with its overwhelmingly terrible users, but even if you expand into other imageboards a lot of the most popular ones are bogged down in stuff that people used to avoid.
Maybe something to think about in the future with getting more people to kissu...

>>8649>I remember someone mentioning kissuSomehow it really does seem like these personal "I like this" post sticks into the memories of people and gets them to try new things more than any direct advertising does. Well, that and imageboard advertising has unfortunately really been poisoned by the people making a new one without content or users every week.
>>8652>only one that works is kissu.moeHeh. I wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's good that you can use it, but it'd also be good if we had more recognition.

>>8661>a handful of other posts claiming that this place is full of kids and obnoxious peopleThat's unfortunate, I think of this place as pretty welcoming. I should try an archive search soon to see if people genuinely feel that way or if it's just the usual trolling from certain people.
No.8677
>>8652¥greentexting when you should be purpletexting>>8656I feel like it's less about quantity and more about quality. A small site populated by dickheads is always going to be worse than a big one with nice users.
I also think a lot of it comes down to moderation. On kissu for example, the mods prune disruptive, low-quality, or otherwise inappropriate posts, and punish the people who make them. It not only keeps the site clean, but it also sends the message that the people who post that sort of thing aren't welcome here. You're way less likely to see people even attempt to make bad posts here because there aren't many bad posts on the board.
Honestly, that's probably why quality seems to decrease as a community grows. As a site gets bigger, it becomes harder and harder to moderate.
