Alice in Wonderland Syndrome — Curiouser and Curiouser!

from a seo perspective, if you are posting simultaneously it would be better to leave a link from medium to steemit but not the other way around. This way the google bot will know you recognize steemit as the "original" place you posted it. If you time your posts with a few hours in between, it doesn't really matter whether you cross link, provide only one link or whatever :)

Interestingly, it seems like (in my experience) Google doesn't index Steemit results very well and when it does it takes longer to show up in the results than for other sites. Most likely a result of the accumulation of so much plagiarized crap and content posted here and elsewhere with no link backs - but as a Curie curator myself, I am constantly Googling random paragraphs from articles to make sure that they are not plagiarized, and it is very rare for Google to pop up with the Steemit post in the results even if the post is nearly 1 day old. I would say, without having tracked the stats, that I see the Steemit post in the Google search results less than a quarter of the time even when a post is 12-23 hours old. That is why I say I am not sure that posting here and delaying for a few hours before posting elsewhere will make any difference. Possibly waiting a full day might. But for whatever reason, Google doesn't index Steemit results very well or very fast.

well i do curating for steemstem so I am doing the same thing you do. For me, google appears to be a fast indexer (at least for #science) and it does return to me steemit posts as the first result, at least when I am puting the text inside "" , even for posts that are a few minutes old :P

Maybe we should take this elsewhere if you want (e.g. steemit.chat) because we really made a mess of this post's comments XD

yes good suggestion LOL Sorry OP!
