Today I am working on the Index. My contract allows me to do it, or they can take some of my advance to pay a contractor if I prefer. This is really hard work! And after I take my stab at it, I may turn it over to a professional to make sure it's done right. But I like learning new skills so I want to have a go at it first.
I understand the role of Indices for finding things in the text, but I'm also wondering what role they have in web searches/boosting linkages/boosting sales. For example, I mention Ruhlman's Charcuterie in the book. Therefore, it is in the Index. Does that then show up digitally somehow in a way that let's the book be better noticed by Google?
