Congratulations!
You have reached Maine's largest and most trafficked website.
As of February 2021, we are now getting up to 7 MILLION visits per day!
This is the home page of
Maine author, artist, Voodoo Priestess, Gypsy Queen, and art car designer:
EelKat Wendy Christine Allen.
This website started in 1996 and is updated, edited, and added to daily. (NOTE do keep in mind since the April 10, 2015 murder of my children, this site is no longer updated daily, and very few new writing articles are added any more - since 2015 updates have been about weekly and usually are about the continued ongoing investigation into the murder of my family.)
As of 2021 it has more than 10,000 pages. However, only around 2,000 pages are indexed by search engines (robot blockers and/or passwords, prevent the rest from being findable by Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc.). Around 8,000 pages can only be accessed by clicking on direct links to them. The links are found on other pages on this site. Confusing? Perhaps. But whenever one of those difficult to find 8,000 pages gets traffic, I know that you are VERY dedicated in reading what I wrote or doing some stalker level digging to reach those search engine inaccessible pages and I'd rather not waste my time writing stuff for uninterested parties, plus it's fascinating to see how deep some people are willing dig to find every last word I wrote.
I published my first novel in 1978. Since then I have published 138 novels, 30 non-fiction books, 2,000+ short stories, a dozen plays, a few comic book scripts for Disney's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck comics, a few dozen novellas, and 10,000+ non-fiction articles.
I am asexual and famous for 4 decades of writing 100% sexless stories, laced in extreme blood-gore-and-violence. But in spite of that, in recent years, most people classify me as an Erotica author. I don't know why, as I've never written Erotica or even any sex scenes, and as I am a nun, raised as such from the age of 3, I wouldn't even know how to write sex or Erotica. If you came here looking for sex, BDSM, Erotica, or Dominatrix's, please return to whomever sent you and tell them to burn in Hell where their immoral ass belongs. Also, do tell me their name so I can put a curse on them, so they will never enjoy sex ever again, to punish them for spreading lies about me and connecting my name to anything related to sex at all. I find sex vile and despicable and want no part of your perverse degradation near me.
All of my fiction works are about Alien Elf Wizards who live in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. All of my non-fiction works are about the history of Maine, it's Gypsy Clans, and most especially Old Orchard Beach the town which was settled and founded by my family.
Most of these pages answer reader questions on the worldbuilding, character creating, plotting, writing, editing, and publishing process of my work.
Others are on the history of my people, The Gypsies of Maine, our culture, our lifestyle, our cars, and our religion.
The rest of the pages are daily updates of the terrorist attacks by Maine's White Supremacists on my non-white family, including updates of the FBI investigation of the April 10, 2015 murder of my children.
FBI Agent Andy Drewer out of the Portland, Maine FBI office is in charge of the case. If you have information about the April 10, 2015 murder of my family or any of the attacks on our home and relatives, give it to him not me. He can be reached @ +1-(207)-774-9322
Or you can go to his office and talk to him in person: 1 Middle Street, Portland, Maine - 4th floor FBI. The building across the street from the Portland Police Department, behind the courthouse. The entire 4th floor is the FBI office, you can't miss it.
The bulk of this website is a massive database of how-to articles for anyone looking to write and publish Dark Fantasy & Weird Horror.
Also, this website contains the database of my 300+ novels and 2,000+ short stories, which make up The Twighlight Manor Series, The Quaraun Series, The Wild Years, The Christonite Chronicles, The Ptarmigan Kats, Captured By Faeries, and Twisted Tales. (These pages are not indexed by search engines, so you can't use Google or Bing to search for my novels and short stories. These pages can only be accessed via links found on other pages of this site.)
Some stuff is indexed. Most stuff isn't. There are more than 10,000 pages, just of character creation, worldbuilding, Fantasy writing, and short story writing how-to articles, and an addition 1,500 pages just in Witcher 3 screenshots, with another 2,000 pages devoted to the history of Old Orchard Beach, and another 2,000 pages to the history of The Gypsies, meaning there are far too many pages here link them all in the header. This website is MASSIVE, and will take you several years to try to read everything on it.
The links below take you to the most popular/most visited pages. Each of them contains more links to more pages. That should get you started.
Enjoy your stay!
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Due to the murder of my family and the resulting court cases, police investigations, and FBI investigations, I no longer have time to daily update this website.
Likewise ALL novel, short story, and article writing projects are on hiatus.
All book releases, book signings, workshops, and convention appearances for 2015 (and unknown amount of time after) are on hold while the murder investigation of my family is ongoing.
Writing advice for the worldbuilding, character creation, and other writing how to articles are on hold.
From now on, the bulk of updates here will be about the investigation into the murder of my family.
No, NOT just THIS author website, not JUST the EelKat pename, not just self published books: ALL 15 (fifteen) of my penames are on hiatus, that includes traditional published books as well, newspaper reporting jobs, editing jobs, my work for Harlequin Romance Novels, my work for Disney... EVERYTHING is on hiatus. Every publishing house I work for, every series I write, every penname I write under: they are ALL on hiatus, ALL projects.
There is NOTHING being published under ANY penname, not for ANY series, not for ANY publisher, from 2015 onward. EVERYTHING is on hold due to the murder of my family. I do not know when or even if, any of the projects will be restarted or finished.
Yes, BOTH the magazines I owned are indefinitely shut down because of this as well, with no plans for either magazine to return. The publishing house I own is also closed to submissions from now on, we will no longer be publishing anything. It is unlikely we will reopen the publishing house either.
All book signing tours, workshops, letures, PAX events, ComicCon events, carnival/festival/state fair/car show events are also canceled. I will not be attending ANY of them. If a venue still has my name listed as a guest/speaker/etc it is because they've not yet removed it. I WILL NOT be there, no matter where it is!
EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, IS CANCELED!
The ONLY thing continuing from this point on, is THIS website, where I'll post updates on the murder investigation, hopefully every week, but, you know how it is when 10 members of your family are beheaded, it's kind of difficult to have a schedule for anything anymore.

If life gives you lemons,
then you grab life by the balls and say you're taking them too.
Why make lemonade when you can make testicle stew?
I don't take shit from no one,I stand up to bullies like you.
I don't like bullies, bullying me, cyberbullies, offline bullies, any bullies.

“Don’t turn your face away. Once you’ve seen, you can no longer act like you don’t know. Open your eyes to the truth. It’s all around you. Don’t deny what the eyes to your soul have revealed to you. Now that you know, you cannot feign ignorance. Now that you’re aware of the problem, you cannot pretend you don’t care. To be concerned is to be human. To act is to care.”

Welcome to the New
SpaceDock13!
More of the question...
I am currently setting up a hotel booking website and I'm not so sure how to structure it.
I have landing pages for:
1. Cities
2. Sights
3. States
The main keywords are mainly "Hotels in Cityname" or "Hotels near Sightname".
What would be the best SEO friendly way of structuring the url?
https://hotels-example.com/hotels/cities/cityname
https://hotels-example.com/hotels/sights/sightname
https://hotels-example.com/hotels/states/statename
or
https://hotels-example.com/hotels/cityname
https://hotels-example.com/hotels/sightname
https://hotels-example.com/hotels/statename
or
https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-cityname
https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-sightname
https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-statename
Or are there better ways of structuring it or am I just overthinking it?
If you go to Google's web site, and then to the help sections for AdSense, AdWords, Analytics, and YouTube, and read all of the several hundred) articles written by Google to teach you how to properly do SEO, you will find there is an article on "three tier internal linking" which they say is the recommended format to use.
They had several info graphics showing exactly how, step by step to lay out the urls of your site, to best allow their spiders to index the pages.
The format of the urls they showed in the example, matched your 3rd grouping, not your first two examples.
The three tier format as Google themselves explained it goes like this:
- Level 1: The Domain
- Level 2: The Topic Indexes/Categories
- Level 3: The Pages
In your example it would be done like this (according to Google themselves)
- Level 1: https://hotels-example.com
- Level 2: https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-cityname
- Level 3: https://hotels-example.com/name-of-hotel-number-1
Your site has ONLY 1, Level 1 page (https://hotels-example.com); from this page you link all the Level 2 pages into your navabar
Your site has ONE Level 2 page PER TOPIC or category (Your site will only have 10 to 30 or so Level 2 pages)
- https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-Old-Orchard-Beach (Hotels In Old Orchard Beach, Maine)
- https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-Boston (Hotels in Boston, Mass)
are Level 2 pages, that contain NO CONTENT other then to act as a list of links to ALL your Level 3 pages for that category. (With a short 100 word description for each page.)
The content of your Level 2 Page will look like this:
This url: https://hotels-example.com/hotels-in-Old-Orchard-Beach wold contain a list like this:
- The Sand Piper Motel, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
- Beaver Creek Condominium, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
- The Wagon Wheel RV Park, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
- The Brunswick Hotel, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
- The Powderhorn Campground, Old Orchard Beach, Maine
Each of those pages is a Level 3 page, your site will have hundreds, possibly thousands of Level 3 pages; each level 3 page, featuring details of only 1 motel. The urls of those tier 3 pages would look like this:
- https://hotels-example.com/SandPiper-Motel-OOB-ME-04064
- https://hotels-example.com/Beaver-Creek-Condominium-OOB-ME-04064
- https://hotels-example.com/Wagon-Wheel-RV-Park-OOB-ME-04064
- https://hotels-example.com/Brunswick-Hotel-OOB-ME-04064
- https://hotels-example.com/Powderhorn-Campground-OOB-ME-04064-1520
(including the postal zip code is recommended as it helps Google's Pigeon index your pages in the correct local directories which are used in conjunction with search results in Google Maps - I know the Powderhorn's full 9 digit zip code because they are my abutting neighbour... 04064 is the zip code for the town Old Orchard Beach, the 4 digit tag 1520 at the end is the zip code for the street Portland Avenue; if you know both zip and street codes, this will boost your page in Google Map & Local Business search results dramatically - my own web site gets 80%+ of it's traffic from a 14 mile radius of the 04064-1520 zip code because of this; this is a little known technique used by travel sites that actually took the time to read Google's own help pages on how to format your local travel/business sites for Pigeon optimization - if you are looking to do a travel site, you want to do heavy research into Google's Pigeon algorithm, because that's one - not Panda - is the one that'll be hitting your site hard.)
Anyways, that's the format Google says to use. I highly recommend you do some heavy duty reading of their Help Section articles, because it's far better to get advice straight from the horse's mouth. I mean, who knows better what Google wants you to do, then Google themselves, right?
"Is it best to have a brand name or a long tail exact name domain?"
My url is my brand name, then each page is my keyword
brandname.com/keyword
Each keyword, has dozens of relevant similar keywords, resulting in LOTS of pages about 1 topic, which in turn allerts Google to the fact that this site is about one topic, because the topic is all over the site, in headers, page titles, text body, etc, rather then just in the url.
For example, let's pretend you are a cat groomer in Maine, your business names Sudds. The best url for you would be sudds.com and then make each page keyword named, with pages titled stuff like:
- sudds.com/CatGroomingHoursAndLocation
- sudds.com/HolidaySpecialsOnCatGrooming
- sudds.com/CatGroomingPrices
- sudds.com/GroomingYourCatAtHome
- sudds.com/BestWayToBathYourCat
- sudds.com/RemovingCatHair
- sudds.com/CatBreedersInMaine
- sudds.com/BestShampooForLongHairedCats
- sudds.com/DoSphinxCatsNeedBathing
- sudds.com/ShouldWhiteCatsBeBleached
- sudds.com/CatBoardersInMaine
- sudds.com/HowToBrushYourCatsTeeth
- sudds.com/PainlessNailTrimmingForYouAndYourCat
- sudds.com/CatVetsInMaine
- sudds.com/BestBrushForPersianCats
The url being named the name of the company, makes it easy for customers to find the URL.
Every page having a long tail keyword, makes it easy for your customers to search within your site to find the page they are looking for.
Every page of the site being long tail keywords also tells Google your topic is Cat Grooming In Maine. It helps Google index your site in the proper categories and helps get the correct traffic to you (people who live in Maine and are searching for local cat groomers)
I used to use the exact name domain method years ago, and before Panda of 2012 it worked GREAT; now it just works meeh, okay.
Brand name with long tail keywords works far better nowadays, which is why I switched to it. I switched to in 2013, after Panda went through and made it harder for exact name domain to rank on top.
While there is no evidence that Google punished exact name domain, they no longer reward them with traffic boosts the way they did in the 2003 to 2010 era when exact name domain urls were the way to go.
