UK company GSINC Ltd today launched an online game dedicated to webmaster guidelines.
Covering the basics of search engine guidelines laid down to help
webmasters, the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) game is the latest
educational experience by the Birmingham based firm GSINC who have
previously produced a range of tutorial videos to help webmasters.
The latest game takes a light hearted look at the somewhat
controversial debate of black hat versus white hat website marketing
strategies in the form on an online game. The player has to fight their
way through a number of search engine enemies. Some of the characters
include a hidden text kid, duplicate content girl and there is even a
Spam lord to do battle with.
"We hope this game helps to remind webmasters about search engine
guidelines. Search engines do usually publish them for all to see, but
sometimes new webmasters and business owners are unaware of the
importance of them -- we hope this game can act as a gentle reminder."
Gareth Davies, GSINC.
He added: "The game has taken a few months for us to put together
and is a light-hearted way to remind folks of the basics. We hope
everyone finds it a lot of fun whether they are webmasters or part of
the SEO industry."
