Perfecting Your Game Tips Website's Popularity In 21st Century

By Abe Smith


If you're here, your game information and guide website is probably relatively new, and its probably not going as planned. That's no problem, it happens all the time, you may just need some hints in the right direction. If you're already using SEO and online marketing, keep it up! But also take a look at the other suggestions.

Original web content is a must for any good game information and guide website. Instead of writing the content yourself, you should consider hiring a contractor to write the content. You can give them all the details of your products and services and they in turn will reproduce some marvelous content for your site.

Contests are always a fun, effective way to get your site some additional PR, and when you can incorporate social media and exposure to your contests, it's a win-win for everyone! Consider making the entry for your contest a retweet of one of your posts on Twitter, with a link to your site in the post. As long as you make the prize worthwhile, users will have no problem sharing your posts with their friends, as long as your site reflects positively on them.

To keep your users comfortable, and prevent any confusion, it's best to stick with a more traditional format in all aspects of your page. Links might be fun opportunities to play around with colors and tie in your theme, but it is inadvisable to do so. Users expect to see an underlined blue font when they see a link, so save your color experimentation for logos and keep your page familiar to the visitors you'll receive.

It is important every now and then to take a step back. Get away from your game information and guide website for a day or so. You can slow your creative process and drive yourself crazy if you stare your website all day every day. It's important for everyone to have a little bit of time to themselves and taking a step back can result in you taking a few steps forward.

Prior to reading the actual articles visitors will browse through them first. Keep paragraphs short with words that short and easily understood when you write the content. Long, difficult to understand articles are avoided by readers. Use bullet points to break the articles into sections so that it is easier to scan and determine what it is about.

Writing daily or weekly news briefs relating to your industry or area of expertise will keep your site fresh so that people will need to check it more frequently to stay up to date. Also, having more content on the site always increases your chances of search engine hits.

A fun way to bring in friends to your game information and guide website is to ask them to test the navigation. Send them out on a scavenger hunt for a specific page and have them tell you about their experience. You can reward them with a treat regardless of whether or not they found it. Of course, if they didn't or had trouble finding it then you will have to revise your website to make navigating easier.
