Re: The "Health," of Muds

I agree with the sentiments of this post.

I also want to point out that the websites of most MUDs and our small communities have rather shoddy SEO and do not play well with search engines. I've spent hours sitting on Google sticking in all sorts of keywords, and I usually have to get extremely specific before I make a hit. In fact, it is MUCH easier for me to find information by clicking on random "associates" and ads on various community sites than it is for me to trust a search engine with keywords such as "MUD", "game", "text-based", and "roleplay". In fact, any word that a "n00b" might try usually turns up really crappy results.
