Unlike real life, where one writes for the eyes of other mammals, in cyberspace one writes for the A.I. of search engines.

One can not use the clever title, for a user would not enter that in a search engine.

Hence " Gone With The Wind " is discarded for "A Story about the American Civil War."

Most so called 'writing' sites are actually 'publishing sites'. The work submitted is not read by a human editor who needs to be impressed.

If there is 'moderation' it is either a synonym for 'delay' (i.e. Virily) or such is done by an A.I.

In those which are not actually moderated, (i.e. Virily) the work goes from last keystroke to screen without the slightest 'vetting'.

Those sites which have human moderators may check for spam, plagiarism, grammar, spelling, but are not to interfere in the writing which may be trite, repetitious or of low literary quality.

In short a moderator is NOT an editor. ,

Once published, to gain the eyes of readers requires networking. This means being picked up by tags, keywords, SEO phrases, etc.

Original work fails in these categories. Trying to Stumble, Digg, Reddit, etc. is finger exercise.

Google is what counts, and the Google software is not going to find 'Gone With The Wind', (save in a 'hurricane' search, and then way down on the 3876 page). Google will find "Story About The Civil War in America" when people enter the term Civil War or Story about or America.

So what are you writing for? Your own amusement? Or to Make money?
