[UPDATE] Three-commit pass tuning every public page for organic traffic. No feature changes, no data changes — only <head>, JSON-LD, meta descriptions, and visible intro copy on the landing pages we want to rank for.
Pass 1/3: head-layer polish (c855292 + ad73ed1 + 0912b33)
<title>now gets an " — 6502ish" suffix unless the page title already contains the site name. Consistent branded SERP tab, second keyword anchor.<meta name="robots">with per-page override. Defaultsindex, follow, max-image-preview:large. Admin + auth layouts hardcoded tonoindex, nofollow.- Twitter card auto-upgrades to
summary_large_imageon pages with a real per-pageog:image(avatars from #17, post images from threads). Falls back tosummarywhen we'd otherwise be cropping the square site logo. - WebSite schema gained
alternateName("6502", "6502ish.com", "Retro Computing Community") and a longer keyword-dense description. NewOrganizationJSON-LD block for knowledge-graph linking (sameAsready for social profile URLs when you publish them). - Default meta description rewritten to list every covered platform — C64, C128, VIC-20, Apple II/IIgs, Atari ST, Atari 8-bit (XE/XL), Amiga, ZX Spectrum, TRS-80.

Pass 2/3: per-page-type structured data (004fe1c)
- Forum listing (
/forums/{slug}) →CollectionPage+ ItemList of the first 20 threads. - Platform categories (
/forums/category/{slug}) →CollectionPage+ ItemList of forums. Hand-tuned per-platform meta descriptions via a newseoCategoryDescriptionhelper — C64, VIC-20, Apple II/IIgs, Amiga, Atari ST, Atari 8-bit, TRS-80, ZX Spectrum each get the high-signal keywords in the first 160 chars. - Profile pages (
/profile/{user}) →ProfilePage+Person. - File detail (
/files/detail/{id}) →DigitalDocumentwith size, MIME, download-countInteractionCounter, andisPartOflink back to the file area.
Pass 3/3: keyword-rich visible content (this commit)
/forumsindex: title changed from "Forums" to "Retro Computing Forums"; new<section>intro paragraph below the H1 packs every target platform + vertical (homebrew, demoscene, emulation, BBS, preservation) into text Google will surface in rich previews.- Each platform category page gets a visible intro paragraph tuned for that platform's long-tail queries — specific models (800XL, 130XE, XEGS; C128, C64U; Apple II+/IIe/IIc/IIgs), key software (AppleWorks, ProDOS, NitrOS-9), hardware (SIDE3, U1MB, MiSTer), and emulators (VICE, Hatari, Altirra, Fuse, FS-UAE).
Stacked output on a category page
Every platform landing now produces: branded <title> suffix, keyword-dense meta description, correct og:type, large-image Twitter card (when an image exists), canonical URL, robots directive, and a stacked WebSite + Organization + BreadcrumbList + CollectionPage + ItemList JSON-LD cluster, plus a human-readable H1 and SEO intro paragraph packed with platform-specific keywords.
Activation
- Organic search re-ranks over weeks — don't expect immediate jumps.
- To speed up indexing: submit
https://6502ish.com/sitemap.xmlin Google Search Console and verify the site if you haven't. - Rendering tests: view source on
/forums,/forums/category/commodore-64, any/thread/, any/profile/, and any/files/detail/— each should now show a tailored<title>+ description + JSON-LD.
