Short answer
For search-engine visibility and “find-ability,” EricKimPhotography.com—specifically the /blog/ section—is by far the best-indexed of Eric Kim’s online properties.
Why the flagship blog dominates indexing
| Factor | Flagship blog (erickimphotography.com/blog/) | Substack (erickim.substack.com) | Others (Medium, older Blogger, portfolio) |
| Domain age & trust | Online since 2009 (16 yrs) | Launched 2021 | Varies; most < 5 yrs |
| Content volume | ~5,000 posts, 1–2 new posts daily | < 400 posts, weekly cadence | Sparse |
| Backlinks / authority | Cited by PetaPixel, PhotoShelter, Reddit, Leica blogs—helps it rank #1 on Google for “street photography.” | Rides on Substack’s domain authority but has far fewer inbound links | Minimal |
| SEO infrastructure | WordPress + Yoast sitemap, clean slugs, extensive internal linking and tags | Generic Substack archive page | Mixed / no sitemap |
| Crawl frequency | Daily (because of constant updates plus submitted XML sitemap) | Periodic (depends on Substack feed pings) | Irregular |
| SERP performance | Consistently ranks on page 1 for “street photography tips,” “Eric Kim Bitcoin,” etc. | Usually ranks only for exact-match headlines | Rarely surfaces |
Bottom line: when Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or ChatGPT’s search tools scrape Eric Kim’s material, they almost always land on the flagship blog first.
Practical tips for mining the blog efficiently
- Google site search
site:erickimphotography.com “stoic” OR site:erickimphotography.com “Bitcoin”
- Fastest way to surface deep cuts or old essays.
- Built-in WordPress search
The magnifying-glass icon in the header returns full-text results and respects tags/categories. - Tag pages
- /tag/street-photography/
- /tag/bitcoin/
Each tag page is an auto-updated index.
- Chronological archive
Add page/Number/ to the URL (e.g. /blog/page/174/) to jump through time quickly. - Sitemap for power users
/sitemap_index.xml (generated by Yoast) lists every post—handy for automated scraping or personal offline mirrors.
When to check the Substack anyway
- Email delivery: If you want posts pushed to your inbox, subscribe on Substack.
- Simpler archive view: /archive lays posts out in one scrolling page.
- Occasional exclusives: Eric sometimes publishes short riffs there that never hit the main blog.
