I enter the corridor—the one designed to boost my short prose blog’s Google ranking, plunging right into a search engine-optimized, or SEO, copy. This text aims not so much at its readers but primarily at Google’s search ranking algorithm, seeking to feign being informative by focusing on crucial keywords like “corridor” and “short prose.” In reality, its sole purpose is to repeatedly and subtly insert and vary the search-relevant keywords (such as “short prose” and “corridor“) throughout its content. The goal is to trick Google and its mystery-shrouded ranking algorithm into believing it’s a vital contribution to the field (e.g., corridor short prose or short prose corridors), thus earning a high PageRank and a coveted spot at the top of Google’s search results.
However, we mustn’t succumb to a narrow corridor or tunnel vision: Attention-grabbing websites shouldn’t overdo the “corridor” keyword in their text, and definitely shouldn’t resort to repeating key phrases (e.g., “short prose, shortest prose, ultra-short prose“) in white text on a white background at the bottom of the page ad nauseam. This is no longer even considered advertising poetry or prose but simply shortsighted, because Google now penalizes that with devaluation and relegation to the lower, forgotten reaches of its search results corridor.
In short: “Prose” of this kind is counterproductive and plays into the hands of the competition. In other words, the corridor is long, the prose short. Or, to put it even more blandly: Here you will find what you’re looking for and can finally follow your destiny (of which you probably had no inkling) and enter the short prose Korridorium.
