Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for ign.comQueries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates. |

Comments: The users on these boards are just cold and rude. What's worse is that the moderators either don't do a good job or they just don't care about moderations. They have a moderator thread instead of a report abuse to a moderator link. Moderator threads are inappropriate, report abuse to a moderator links aren't. Anyone can see the reports posted on the moderator thread. If you report things that don't violate the rules, you'll be insulted for life. Stay away from this site. It's not as good as GameSpot but not by much.

Comments: IGN offers good, exclusive content, not only for the gaming market but entertainment as a whole. News on TV series, movies, comics and technology are always a hit inside its pages. HOWEVER, it has too many ads, and even as a paying member, it is safe to say that 75% of all publicity doesn't go away - as the site offers. Also, it has some trouble being impartial and fair on its reviews. Sometimes, more often than not, such articles present you a score that the text itself lacks on supporting basis. Overall, IGN is great, but it commits too many small flaws. Definitely, it could be better.

Comments: This is my biggest gripe with IGN. The advertisements are everywhere. Yes, I am a member and it still annoys me. The page is too loud (bright graphics, animations, etc.) for visual senses. IGN used to be simple but now it's on a decline downward. They really need to take a page from the gaming blogs.

- Good content
- Site is fast and responsive
- Hard to navigate
Comments: IGN is a great site for news from a large number of categories, but the fact that it tries to cover so much information at once makes the site a hassle to navigate. It's gone through a lot of redesigns to help fix this problem, but what it needs is restructuring. It's funny how you can skip ads before they even load, so that's actually a plus. The video players also need to be in true HD. I don't need to see SD quality footage on IGN when Gametrailers has actual HD footage (and without having to select the same video twice to activate it).
