== Improving the web traffic of key Conservapedia articles ==
Because people judge a book by its cover, the lede of an article and its general first appearance are very important. By general first appearance, I mean the first 1-3 seconds a web visitor is on the particilar page. If the lede and general first appearance of a Conservapedia article is not good, its general traffic will suffer, time spent on the page will suffer, its search engine ranking for various terms terms will suffer and its shares on social media will suffer. In short, a bad first impression will cause people to quickly click of the page and not read the article plus other user engagement stats and other web marketing stats will suffer. Bottom line: Few people will read the article and it will have little to no impact on society. Also, beauty/esthetics matter and that is why smart urban planners and architects design beautiful cities/buildings that elevate a city and bring in tourists. Its also why guys get haircuts and women shave their legs if they want to gets dates and better keep their spouses/girlfriends/boyfriends.
'''Key examples:'''
'''1.''' With the above in mind, take a look at present day version of this article: [[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]]. Compare that with the March 2019 version of the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez March 10, 2019 version of the article which is [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Alexandria_Ocasio-Cortez&oldid=1500524 HERE].
'''2.''' Next, in terms of a first impressions (namely the first 1-3 seconds), take a look at the [[Joe Biden]] article. Now compare it with the December 28, 2021 version of the Joe Biden article which is [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Joe_Biden&oldid=1826710 HERE] and the May 26, 2021 version of the article which is [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Joe_Biden&oldid=1760432 HERE].
'''3.''' Next, in terms of first impressions (namely the first 1-3 seconds), take a look at Conservapedia's [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] article. Now look at Wikipedia's Volodymyr Zelensky article [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volodymyr_Zelenskyy HERE]. By the way, I am no fan of Volodymyr Zelensky and think he is a corrupt, authoritarian and foolish leader.
As you are aware, I am now fan of [[Richard Dawkins]]. Despite this, I designed an attractive lede and general first impression of the article and as a result, its page view count was over 1,500,000 page views (the view counter got reset) and the article had an impact. For example, ''Ms. Magazine'' cited the article before Richard Dawkins very public conflicts with feminists that lead to his downfall in popularity and caused a big schism in the [[atheist movement]] which in turn caused the [[Decline of the atheist movement]]. During the time of the atheist movement in terms of its peak, the Conservapedia Richard Dawkins article ranked in the Google top 10 for the term "Richard Dawkins".
Next time we talk, I will briefly talk to you about how to create a good first general impression for an article and how to get it ranked higher at the search engines. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 17:19, November 18, 2023 (EST)
