RE: 🎮 SEO Optimised Game Review: LA Noire on Xbox 360
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 😀
Some interesting observations so far:
For the search term "LA Noire", other Steemit articles rank higher.
For the search term "LA Noire Xbox", my article ranks top.
For "LA Noire", my "SEO Optimised..." article ranks highly whilst the actual article is nowhere to be seen.
Presumably, the page steemit.com/@the-gorilla has some decent SEO strength, having been actively updated for many years. Whereas the new account doesn't have any strength yet.
Removing the "site:steemit.com" has them ranked so low, I've not found them yet. "Xbox 360 Game Review: LA Noire" without the quotes isn't in the top 10 pages. With the quotes, it's 1st.

As you know, Google search results are affected by many factors, including region, so we can all get different results. I think you will be interested to know what I got.
For the search term LA Noire, I can't find your article.
For the search term "LA Noire" (with quotation marks) your article is also not visible.
It's the same story with the For the search terms LA Noire Xbox and "LA Noire Xbox".
For the search term "site:Steemit.com LA Noire" your article is on the 4th place, but as you mentioned, it's not a review, it's an article you wrote from your main account.
For the search term "site:Steemit.com LA Noire Xbox" your review is in 2nd place and the article written from the main account is in 3rd place.

Unfortunately, this isn’t the kind of article that will get a “” search but it’s promising nonetheless. Definitely something that I can work with 😊

Interesting. It's my first result in google and presearch. Doesn't show up at all in Bing or Brave Search (even with +site:steemit.com).
If it comes to search results I can only see old Steemit posts 6-7 years old

I agree with you @wakeupkitty. When I google something, I also mostly come across old Steemit posts. @the-gorilla has already investigated this issue and found the reason. When communities were introduced, the search engine-obscure prefix hive-xxxxx was added to the URL of each post. Therefore, if you want your article to be found through a Google search, then it should be published on a personal blog outside of any communities.

Good piece of info. I tested it with those in fifferent continents and in a few others all content can be found! So the only reason I can think of is that we are restricted. Google doesn't show us everything plus messages are deleted same for X and so on. The new EU law makes it worse since we should be protected against fake news because we are too stupid to think (words of our former PM).
I noticed this phenomenon a few years after I joined. @joslud tried out some things as well and I believe it worked for him as the first hashtag was posted as one of the first in the text (underneath the first picture for example).
I go give it a try today. Thanks for the update!
A good week / Christmas

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