## My request to the blogs, website, and other tulpa-related resources\!
|

|
||
|
||
In the mighty words of my announcement on the Tulpa.info Forums: **[It’s
|
||
time to get
|
||
serious](http://tulpa.info/forums/Announcement-It-s-time-to-get-serious "Time to get serious")**.
|
||
Actually, first and foremost, I ask that everyone go over to that
|
||
announcement and read it. It involves FAQ man, fellow blogs, and this
|
||
community as a whole.
|
||
|
||
For those who don’t want to read it, I’m just going to cut to the chase
|
||
and post an email from Dane/FAQ man’s:
|
||
|
||
> You caught me just as I was checking this email for the last time.
|
||
> Make it so you can google anything with the word tulpa in it and get
|
||
> tulpa.info we need to be more searchable on google as a main priority.
|
||
> Tulpa FAQ, tulpa creation, anything with tulpa needs to yeild
|
||
> tulpa.info as a first. That should be your priority.
|
||
|
||
It’s been about three days since I posted that announcement, and I’ve
|
||
been spending most of my time recoding the website to make it
|
||
SEO-friendly. I’ve also optimized the forums and set up a sitemap
|
||
system, so that’s all good. But of course, googling “what is a tupla?”
|
||
will still fail to bring up the the latest [What is a
|
||
Tulpa?](http://www.tulpa.info/guides/what-is-a-tulpa.html "What is a Tulpa?")
|
||
guide. Instead, it bats between our guides that haven’t been updated
|
||
since Feb/March, or other websites that scream from the top of their
|
||
lunges, “TULPAS ARE DANGEROUS\!”
|
||
|
||
Yes, this means that tulpa.info is trying to compete in the ranks for
|
||
the very own guides we host; I wouldn’t be concerned about that if it
|
||
wasn’t for the fact that these guides we’re losing the ranks to are
|
||
outdated (e.g. “TULPA SEX, RUN\!” or “Personality.. whut?”), and in the
|
||
end, when questions make it to Dane or on the forums, usually we have to
|
||
take the time to link them to updated guides. A great example is that
|
||
when I google “What is a tupla?,” the old guide from Louderthanpi comes
|
||
up on the first page – tupa.info is nowhere to be seen.
|
||
|
||
For example, another member was recently telling me about a thread on
|
||
DreamViews (Lucid Dreams site), where they’re talking about tulpae. The
|
||
people in the thread are reading and referring to guides on Tulparangers
|
||
(that dropbox website), and when this guy posted tulpa.info, everyone
|
||
said that the months-old .png images and dropbox websites were the
|
||
better alternatives.
|
||
|
||
I was talking about this with some guys in the IRC, and there is a way
|
||
to fix this though: centralize. If I google “What is a tulpa?”
|
||
Louderthanthunder comes up on page 2, havesomepi comes up on page 8, and
|
||
Tulpa.info comes up on page 12.
|
||
|
||
However, what if lounderthanthunder and havesompi linked to tulpa.info?
|
||
Well, google should put tupla.info higher in the ranks. What ifeveryone
|
||
of these dropbox sites and side-folders in this new tulpa movement
|
||
changed their site to be SEO-friendly towards tulpa.info – the only
|
||
dedicated domain to this community?
|
||
|
||
I have a feeling that google will realize they say we’re an authority on
|
||
the subject, and when people search for tulpa, they’ll find us and the
|
||
latest guides. That means when those people make threads like the one
|
||
on DreamViews, they would end up linking to tulpa.info in their OP and
|
||
throughout the thread, instead of linking to various images and outdated
|
||
guides. Google, will in turn see that tulpa.info is more relevant when
|
||
talking about tulpae, and will increase our page rank, helping even more
|
||
people find information.
|
||
|
||
**Where I’m getting at.**
|
||
|
||
With all that being said, I have a request to the websites such as
|
||
Havesomepi, Tulparangers, etc.
|
||
|
||
I ask that you do one of the following:
|
||
|
||
- If you are already actively maintaining your website and don’t want
|
||
to remove anything, and if you want to continue to compete with us
|
||
for pagerank, then I at least ask that you update to the latest
|
||
guides. Note that if you have any of Dane/FAQ Man’s guides, he
|
||
requests that you link back to the page you got it from (so if you
|
||
update your site with the latest Frequently Asked Questions, provide
|
||
a link back to the [Frequently Asked
|
||
Questions](http://www.tulpa.info/guides/frequently-asked-questions.html "Frequently Asked Questions")
|
||
page).
|
||
|
||
- If you don’t feel like updating your guides, I ask that you add this
|
||
to the top of each guide:
|
||
**\<p\>Please note that this guide is outdated and no longer
|
||
maintained. You can find the latest copy of the guide on this
|
||
page:\<a href=“URL\_TO\_GUIDE\_ON\_TULPA.INFO”\>TITLE OF THAT
|
||
GUIDE\</a\>\</p\>**
|
||
|
||
So, if you have an old version of “What is a Tulpa?" You would
|
||
post:
|
||
**\<p\>Please note that this guide is outdated and no longer
|
||
maintained. You can find the latest copy of the guide on this page:
|
||
\<a href="http://www.tulpa.info/guides/what-is-a-tulpa.html”\>What
|
||
is a Tulpa?\</a\>\</p\>
|
||
|
||
**
|
||
- If you are no longer even maintaining your site, then I ask that you
|
||
update the links on the main page from those guides, and just point
|
||
them directly to that guide on tulpa.info. Also, you could add 301
|
||
redirects to the old guides to the new ones. This would help us
|
||
dearly. Check out Rhyme’s
|
||
[LouderThanThunder](http://ltt.zanacross.co.uk/tulpa/ "Louder Than Thunder")
|
||
website. You’ll see that he did this for tulpa.info.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Anyway, I hope you read and take into consideration what I say. You
|
||
have my thanks in advance.
