: How popular are these articles? (how many clicks do we normally get from them?)

Revision as of 16:43, 21 August 2014

Not sure why but this month we've had a serious decline in our Google ranking. For greater than 50% of queries, we have declined in rankings; impressions are down 5% overall, and CTR has increased but only by 1%. We have a number of critical core subjects for which we are at risk of falling off the front page entirely. The following is a list of such subjects out of the top 3000 unique queries which we apparently need to pay better attention to in terms of rewriting or addition of new content:

  • Best Doom mods
  • BFG
  • Brian Raffel
  • Brutal Doom
  • Chainsaw
  • Chex Quest 2
  • Classic Doom for Doom 3
  • Cyberdemon (Doom 3)

  • Doom Classic
  • Doom RPG

  • Doom II
  • Doom 2 box art
  • Doom 3: BFG Edition
  • Doom 3 locker codes
  • Doom 3 walkthrough
  • Doom 64 TC
  • Doomsday
  • DoomRL
  • Doom SNES / Super Nintendo
  • Doom Windows Mobile
  • Doom II soundtrack
  • Gerald Brom
  • GZDoom
  • Hell knight
  • Hell Revealed
  • Hexen music
  • id Tech engine
  • id Tech 3 source code
  • id Tech 4
  • Macintosh Doom
  • Maledict
  • Master Levels
  • Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch
  • Mordeth
  • mus 2 midi
  • Pinky Demon
  • Plutonia
  • PrBoom
  • Real Icon of Sin

Feel free to edit this page to lay claim to a subject area you want to work on, by adding your sig and an explanation of what articles you intend to target for modification or creation.

I would like to state that we have a plugin that shows the first paragraph of all articles as the "description" meta tag. That paragraph is very important and 1) should be the first thing to be rewritten on all articles and 2) should not be too long.
But again the biggest problem we have is that Google detects that all we have is "copied" content (since it was in Wikia first after all) and is penalising us: some results are not even appearing. --Kyano (talk) 19:26, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
