The modern subconscious is a deep ocean to fish

The modern subconscious has been so filled up with media, conditioning, schooling, parenting and working that it must be one of the most dense information stores in the history of the universe. The thing is that we are not really provided with any nets or fishing gear at the moment (that’s what shamans etc were good for), and the things found in its murky depths are not taken to be of any value.

By looking into sources of information noise, such as random wikipedia sources (method) and looking within yourself, you stir these waters and can see thoughts as the arise to the surface from the pressurized depths. These strange creatures are the whole basis for our civilization, culture.

This is a great tool to explore your own inner and outer reality.

Its just like tarot cards. They are just symbols on a page, with no actual absolute value. The interpretation of each card changes from person to person, even in subtle ways. The literal meaning of the cards is not the important bit. How these random media work is that they stir the mind in unexpected and unpredicted ways, and allow fresh insights to emerge. Signal from noise.

This is a representation of Googles Relevance Engine

I found this image searching on the word Knowledgesphere, one of the tags that i have on this here blog. It jogged my memory  in relation to my last post, about how Google is always searching for relevance in its search listings and adwords ads that it serves up.

The zombies rising from the grave are the old, dead and completely irrelevant pages that are coming up in peoples searches. Google sees itself like necromancer or mage with the glowing green magick coming out of its hands, vanquishing these undead denizens of information before they tie you up and waste your time. Perhaps like this page :)

Google Likes It When Your Domain Looks Alive

From getting back into posting things back here on InformationReality.com, it looks as if Google really appreciates it if your domain looks alive. The more I post, the more organic traffic finds the site, which must mean that whether or not your site appears in certain searches depends on how relevant google thinks you are.

Which makes sense, becuase it is hard to get your head around how many dead and abandoned sites there are out there that have been forgotten since the start of the internet. Billions of pages i would hazard a guess. All lost in some digital limbo, forgotten by author and reader alike.

Off all the sites on the internet, i wonder what proportion of them actually get read every day. 1%? 0.000001%. Would be an interesting stat to know.

A Stunning Example Of 3D Giffery

Was blown away by the awesome animated gif I just found. What a great way to simulate 3D. Most animated gifs that simulate a 3D perspective are not as cool as this.. Just thought I would share.

Good 3D Giffery

The Internet as Distraction From The End Times

I just read an interesting tweet which was espousing the idea that the internet could be the cause of distraction that stops people seeing and believing the collapse of the current system.
This could be true, as it is very easy for modern people to get into a headspace where what is happening in the physical world is of only secondary consequence to what is happening to them online.

The physical world is starting to be seen as a substrate that gives you interesting things to tweet about and take photos off to put onto flickr.

I agree with the statement, but i also see the other important uses for the internet in the coming months and years. The internet is the greatest source of randomness and noise that we have ever seen. With tools such as StumbleUpon, or twitter or just a simple Google search (who would have thought 15 years ago that something like a search on a thing like Google could be considered simple) and you can be exposed to ideas, thoughts and concepts that you have never even dreamed of before.

The internet introduces a level of noise into the closed system of your consciousness, and gives an exposure to higher dimensions of information (larger world view, more educated view of the world). These new mental building blocks, when arranged in minds that have a greater understanding of the big picture and the part that they play in it, will be the seeds for whatever people build after these current systems have collapsed

Stupid Evolving Internet Marketing

A good idea for a domain like this is to just pump it full of content, just write and write exclusive content, that is say things in a novel way that haven’t been said before to attract traffic. Make a whole heap of social media profiles where you just spout the same random gibberish, and get it propogated as far as possible via rss across the internet.

Dont worry about

  • building an audience
  • building a list
  • building a personal profile
  • Be the antithesis of all of that, and just get mountains of content out there are as quickly as possible. It would be interesting to see what the time difference / payoff equation came out equaling when you compared this to a more “by the book” internet marketing approach that i normally follow.

    Just create stupid sites, which evolve over time to be content rich domains with heaps of monetisation things all over them. Like every third post should be about an affiliate product, and then the few around it should be about the same subject. All of the posts should take a maximum of five minutes to write, and have around 400 words minimum. Try to seo and keyword write them to some degree if you can.

    What the aim of this is to create a clientless, prdouctless, business less way to create ongoing income via the web that may be done anywhere

To niche or not to niche

Here is a question for anyone who finds this blog in the future, at some time. Is is better to have a blog that is all about a single niche, or just fill a large wordpress installation up with content, and trap the passing traffic with a click or a comment.

Most blogs out there are not digested in one huge chunk, but just as seperate posts. One is read, and then the reader moves on. There is not point in having one consistant whole, if that is less interesting and optimised to find search results.

What you really should have is one domain with the maximum amount of novelty as possible. The largest amount of sticky search terms to attract long tail visitors. Especially if the site is not a personal branding site.

Please internet blog authors, just write what you want to write, not what you think people want to hear.

The semantic goldrush

Well actually the site has got two which is cool. One from Seamus, and the other from some guy who took my quick written CRM article, which was a thinly vieled insult in disguise.

So that proves a couple of things. 1, that the site has been taken out of googles sandbox, and is now being indexed as it should. this is great becuase i can start staking out keyword clusters for this domain now, and write about any new terms that i hear. We are in the middle of a semantic gold rush at the moment, although no one really knows it.

The sites that can stake out the tastiest keywords for the future will become the strongest future online plaers, the domains that will get excellent long tail traffic in the near future. If you think of a new term, write a blog post about it, and you have put your flag down on that idea on the internet, as long as your site is indexed by google.

the comment also proves that 2) some people take these non thought of, quickly written stream of conciousness articles are good enough to leave a comment against.

Sandox Hell

I think that after the initial fun of getting this site indexed, it has been sandboxed by google over the last few days, as the pages are not coming up in the searches that they once appeared in.

That really defeats the purpose of what this is about, and so i hope that none of my SEO twiddling has had any negative effects on the spiders that crawl over it.

So please, techo-arachnids, come back and look at the lovely data streams that i provide for your pleasure.

Being in the sandbox is the website equivalent of being in hell, or purgatory at least. Some form of christian metaphysical boogey-place anyway :)

25% of All Google Searches are NEW

To me this figure is partial proof for some of the concepts that I have been developing over the past few years. It is staggering to think that 25% of queries that google sees on a daily basis are things that have NEVER been searched for before.

Or, more exactly, they are things that have never been searched for before in that way.

Where is this information, this new form of questions coming from. Where are they appearing in people’s minds. This difference in search volume could be thought of as search ‘noise’. It will appear in googles keyword stats, and then people who are in the know will start to create content to specificly match these queries. It is digital evolution.

These new search queries are turning up spontaneously in the minds of people, and represent a change in the evolution of the meme-sphere of the planet, the sum total of the direction of thoughts of all people. So where does this NEW though come from.

Is there something in consciousness that is connected to a source of “thought noise.”? I posit that there is a force that ensures that peoples thoughts are not linear and only contain things that they have seen before, but instead mix up and create new synergies, as well as unexpected mutations of the contents of their minds.
