  • It's addable, but it'd be best for us to focus on other things, as this can be manually done.

  • No, they should be the same as on any other object.

  • 1280x800 here, widescreen laptop.

    I generally prefer to work with this size or lower, on any size monitor. Comfortable for my needs.

  • I like http://www.oswd.org for freeness.

    Um that's when this thread was posted.

    They're new visitors, not users already browsing any page on the site, which makes it impressive.

    Whilst I appreciate we need to cover more keywords, I really can't see how that can be efficiently done so as to overlap areas like 'game making' and 'game creation'. Keyword meta tags aren't the primary way to boost rankings, neither are website titles. The best way seems to be links from very large websites on the subject, which is harder done.

  • I think that a lot of people looking for a game creator would ask/post on a community they frequent, look for a comparison website or article outlining various solutions, or explore indie communities. A lot of our hits are referred from such means. Some users will type in things like 'game maker' and such, Game Maker itself has these keywords covered, which makes tapping into those searches very hard.

    What can we do to increase rankings for things 'blind searchers' so to speak will type in?

  • There's other ways to make people aware of the word Construct and what it is; having the best ranking for that word on google is very important to people quickly finding it if they want to.

  • Game maker will return the obvious, I think that's probably the hardest key word set to topple, if not impossible altogether.

    Construct itself is quite a common word, so to be as high as we are is very good. I Would say that it's possibly our highest value keyword; if someone hears about 'Construct', they don't necessarily link it to Scirra or any other word - which are more obscure and better found - therefore it is very important that the software appears first in Google.

  • No, under 'polar bear', weirdly.

  • Top of page 2 on UK google now.

  • 1024x1024 would be fine, but I wouldn't go larger than that.
