🎮 SEO Optimised Game Review: LA Noire on Xbox 360

I've been wanting to write this post for a long, long time but have always had something more important to do. Even tonight, I still have more important things to do but I haven't done them, I've finally got around to writing some content (that isn't about steemit.com) instead! (I've scheduled that in for tomorrow.)

SEO & Steemit

Over the years, I've shared some opinions on SEO and why I've felt that Steemit hasn't ranked as highly in recent years as it did in the past. Particularly around how the introduction of communities has affected the URL and made it less SEO friendly.

It's a dilema for authors. They could write to their blog and increase their chances of being seen by the world (particularly with Google) or they could post in an appropriate community and be seen by a wider audience on Steemit. One will benefit the platform more, the other will benefit the author's wallet more.

So with this post, I'm highlighting that I've done both.

I've written a game review for LA Noire on Xbox 360 which is more SEO friendly (including the creation of a dedicated SEO friendly account) and telling my trusty followers and NO community members that I've done it.

Whilst I optimised titles, URLs, image names and alt tags to a reasonable level, I didn't go "all-in" on the content because I wanted the article to still be (at least) a semi-decent read.


Call to Action

Because the post is intended to be more SEO friendly, catering for users who find it through Search Engines, I've included a call to action to guide the user to their next step... hopefully registering on the platform or alternatively, reading some of my other articles on gaming. Hopefully one day in the future, I'll receive a comment from some random who's here because of it.

Here are my other articles that I linked to:

I honestly think that My All-Time Top 20 Video Games articles are some of my finest work. I'm also shamelessly linking to them in the case of further increasing their SEO rank.

The other article required too much of my brain power so apologies if this one feels more hurried than it usually would.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback and if you have a moment to write an SEO optimised comment which includes the key words:

  • LA Noire
  • Game Review
  • Xbox 360

in no particular order. That would be wonderful.

my trusty followers and NO community members

You have done it! You used the NO community! So beautiful! But wait a minute... Wasn't a NO rule ‘NO posts’?
Shit, we haven't even written the rules yet. We should do that quickly!
But fortunately - as you can see - everyone knows one rule: NO comments... ;-)

I can't say much about the SEO thing. I think you're doing a good experiment right now.
Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the content of your other post either, because I've never played consoles in my life. Or is the Gameboy a console too?

Amiga 500... nothing else... ;-)

Edit
Not writing in a community you can neither mute nor mark (historical) spammers...

I was going to reply to your comment with:

NO comments

But you already thought of that 😉

I've started to wonder, particularly with my dev updates whether anybody reads what I write any more. Maybe it's not just what I write. Je ne sais pas.

I'd say a Gameboy is a console. To be more specific, it's a Handheld console. Is that what you're still playing?

My Amiga 500 is at my mum's house. Part of me doesn't want it back because I fear I'll be disappointed when I play something.

Yes. That's annoying too. He was history for a few days but unfortunately, he is present again.

But you already thought of that

Zwei Doofe, ein Gedanke.

whether anybody reads

Well, unfortunately many of us have to ask ourselves this question. Yes, I'm one of those Doofe who read. I even try to understand your developer reports. I don't always succeed, but I put the words together into a text by reading (pure technique).
Phew, reading really takes a lot of time! If you're constantly having to read rubbish that steals your time, you might get the idea of giving up reading completely. That's right.

NO, NO, NO...

To be honest, I never played much with the Gameboy either. I didn't even own one, it was too expensive. Later, I played on my friend's son's device. Very little. Tetris... ;-)

Zwei Doofe, ein Gedanke.

Ah. Naturlich.

I sometimes read too. I even try to understand your sheep reports. I don't always succeed, but I put the words together into a text by closing my eyes and guessing.

If you're constantly having to read rubbish that steals your time, you might get the idea of giving up reading completely.

Did you see my reaction to one of the 1st progress reports posted in the Newcomers' Community? I was so annoyed at the person wasting my time that I let rip on them. They didn't reply.

Tetris

Classic.

Did you see

After you drew my attention to it, yes.
You know, I just roll my eyes. I read so much filth, I see so much abyss that my head is completely full, almost aching. So full/filled that I don't want to write anything under my friends' critical posts. I could become unfilthy. Simply because I can't deal with the sh... anymore.
I haven't stepped into the ‘honey trap’ sc. On the contrary, I have always endeavoured to tell everyone that we are the community. But who listens to me? roarrrrrrrrrrr...

Classic.

Age-appropriate.

Great idea. Unfortunately, we will not be able to evaluate how effective this is, since we do not have access to any statistics of page traffic.

Unfortunately I can't write a good comment about the game since I haven't played it and I've never seen Xbox 360 live 😀

I can get a rough idea by seeing how it ranks:

  1. Within Steemit itself - i.e. a Google search for “site:Steemit.com LA Noire” or “xbox 360” or similar. If it ranks well for that, then:
  2. Same again without the “site:Steemit.com”

If it does well with (1), then we’ll know it’s worthwhile.

It’s significant effort though. I should edit and make a few tweaks to give it a boost.

The initial result is interesting and totally unintended!! See what result you get.

Splendid, your write is perfect and wash to go through. In as much as the write up is readers friendly, I will still like to read more in order to understand the SEO & steemit format. Congratulations

I've just seen your description - professional mathematician... what does that entail?
