MediaVision Blog : Search Engine Marketing

I found this on Jim Boykin’s blog and find it hilarious. The game has been released by Gsinc.com and although the actual game its not very exhilarating, what matters is that it’s about SEO and that these guys have taken the time to develop a funny game around what search marketers do every day. These are real issues that we face in the industry on a day to day basis.

The object of the game is to punch out the various search engine guideline violating characters until the referee, Matt Cutts, gives you a thumbs up.

You have to fight: Hidden Text Kid, KeyWord Stuffer, Duplicate Content Girl, Cloaking Monster, MR Redirect, Link Farmer, Spam Lord!

According to GSINC:

“The 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.”
