I can't think of anything to write so I made this article. Lately, @Eybyoung has been talking about SEO, so I tried to search my articles as well to check what rank are they on the search engine. But before that, let me share some information first about SEO.
What is Search Engine Optimization?
SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the procedure of boosting the quality and quantity of website traffic, exposing your brand as well, through unpaid (also known as "natural" or "organic") search engine results. Unpaid traffic may derive from various types of searches: image, video, news, academic, specific-industry search engines.
Small revisions to your website are often made by SEO. The modifications may look like accumulative improvements when viewed apiece but could have an evident effect on your site's user experience and performance when combined with other optimizations. Through SEO, a website will acquire more visitors when websites rank higher in the search engine results page (SERP).

So here are my latest articles during the new readcash system that appears on the search engine:
This article is rank #1 on the search engine when I used the title itself and rank #5 when I used the keywords 'why youtube banned crypto vloggers?' I tackled here about the possible reasons why youtube banned crypto vloggers which includes: censorship, scam, and crypto business as a possible threat to youtube's future business. I didn't expect to be on top because many articles regarding this topic were also published by different authors on different blogging sites which are more famous than readcash.
It's Rank #1 when I used the title itself. It is about the summary of my biography and I tackled there about how I faced the challenges that came into my life since I was young up to date. I tried to search it using the keywords 'how to overcome challenges that life throws at you?'. I did saw it on top but I saw @Clarissa_KG article regarding the same topic on rank 4. 😊
This article is rank #1 on the search engine using the title itself and rank #2 when I used the keywords 'how Filipino overseas workers combat homesickness?' I tackled there about Filipino workers here in Hong Kong and how they overcome homesickness while working away from their families. I also mentioned there how Filipino hikers here in Hong Kong became a good example to other hikers.
It's rank #1 on the search engine using the title itself but when using 'do not rely on', of course, many articles will appear about reliance. I tackled there about mobile app users who rely too much on educational applications and the negative impact of over-reliance on them.
This article is rank #4 on the search engine, however, the one that appears was the same article I published on Publishox. I tackled there the considerations in choosing crypto wallet such as security, backing ups, etc. as well the different kinds of hot and cold crypto wallets.
This topic is very common on the internet and usually tackled by crypto vloggers. I didn't expect it to be on rank #19 but the one that appears on the search engine was the article I have published on Publishox.
This article is rank #1 when searching the title itself but rank #4 when I used 'living in a nipa hut'. I tackled here my childhood life experiences living in our small but cosy nipa hut. Our life there was so simple, no television, gadgets, electricity, etc. and we just live by simply using the resources we have around our house. Some of the 'first times' in my life was also mentioned in this article.
And here are some of my photography articles:
My article about my visit to Tai O fishing village ranked 1st on the search engine, that was when I used the title itself but didn't appear on top when I only used the keywords 'Venice if the orient'
This article was rank 1 using the keywords 'visit to pokemon village hong kong', rank 6 using 'pokemon village hong kong', and when I used the title itself, it didn't appear on top 😅.
This article was rank 2 when I used the title itself. It is about the day when this kid at home asked me a favour to cook cheesy macaroni for their cooking class homework. And of course, so many articles will appear if you will only search 'cheesy macaroni.'
I tried to search one of my old articles and it appears on top.
English Isn't A Basis Of Knowledge
This article was rank 1 using the title itself. I didn't expect it to be on top as many other articles regarding this topic were published on the internet. I tackled here some points on why English language shouldn't be the basis of knowledge.
And here's what I found while searching my articles on Google. I saw this article of mine regarding Why Can't You Save Money Effectively? on the eight spot.
And guess what? I forgot the keyword I used in searching but I saw an article using the same content as my article.
The same blogging site, but different title. This user is busted. 🤣
My observations while searching my articles on Google:
If you search your article using the title itself, there's a big possibility that it will appear on top but it doesn't mean that your article is so great 😅. The result will depend on how many articles are published on the internet with the same topic as yours.
Some of the articles published on famous blogging sites usually appear on top when searching an article with a common topic. Just like for example, A Technique That Will Saves Our Life (this article of mine was on rank #6). If you search a title like this one, the one that will appear on top are from the famous blogging sites and vlogging sites like youtube, and health-related websites.
If you search an article with a title like What Makes You Beautiful? or Where It All Started. These articles have the same titles of famous songs, therefore, the one that will appear on the search engine are songs usually from Youtube and other music-related blogging sites.
Search engines are like answering machines. They rummage and evaluate thousands of pieces of content and factors to specify which content you are looking for. Search engines are doing this through searching all accessible content on the Internet (web pages, images, PDFs, videos, documents, articles, news, etc) through a process called “crawling and indexing,” and ordering it based on the results of the query called “ranking.” Optimizing your site will help deliver better information to search engines so that your content can be properly indexed and displayed within search results.

Some of my travel photography article appears on top as well but not enough time to include them here. I need to work now 😅
I still haven't given that a try. I'm a bit too shy to search myself up and then eventually i might judge myself as to why i did XD
