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:

• 02/10/21: 🎮 Game Review - "Simple Story - Alex"
• 19/07/21: Gaming Nostalgia || Amiga Power Top 10 (1991)
• 03/07/21: My All-Time Top Video Game (Part 5)
• 26/06/21: My All-Time Top 20 Video Games (Part 4)
• 14/06/21: My All-Time Top 20 Video Games (Part 3)
• 03/06/21: My All-Time Top 20 Video Games (Part 2)
• 28/05/21: My All-Time Top 20 Video Games (Part 1)

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.
