I did a google search this morning...
I was not shocked...
But I was upset.
See, when you're an author, one of the best things to have is a book that is up there in the list of google things. So...when a book has been out for a while, with stuff posted about it, I like to google it and see how it is doing as far as the search engine.
Books like Red Dragon, A Dragon's Curse, and even Entangled Hearts get mixed up for other book titles that other authors wrote...
Not Dorm Haze...
I shouldn't be upset.
It's still the internet, nothing has changed.
But looking up my book's name and finding nothing but porn videos?
Yea... I'll bet some of you readers came to this post because those key words were in it.
I am still upset though...
Beneath various porn videos that have descriptions that seem like somebody might have been actually raped in them...
Beneath many degrading things that entertain the senses of the depraved...
Is some blog post about my book...
I know, you guy are like "porn is normal" "porn is natural" "why are you upset by porn, it's just porn, everybody does it."
Well haha...
I am typically open minded and I don't judge anybody who wants to do that...but really? Did I have to see a list of porn instead of the book?
At the top of the list will always be porn videos, I guess.
Should I rename the book?
I don't see why. It would only change the search, bending to the will of the internet.
So, while you watch videos of other people getting it on...I'll be trying to find ways to make a book more popular...if that will ever work.
It's not an egocentric thing, it's about making a book available to new readers. People like to research reviews and ratings on books they are curious about. So how are they supposed to find that on the biggest search engine?
Tried Bing...
That was no better!
Yahoo was probably worse...
I'm just done here...
I'm not going to continue looking for a book that apparently shows no signs of being up there in the search engine...
That just means that for this one title, my advertisement efforts will have to triple.
