Why do you hate Powerpets?

Filed under: Powerpets — Tags: — admin @ 5:21 pm

A lot of people seem to hate, dislike or just are fed up with Powerpets but why do people hate Powerpets for? Well we think we know the answer to this and they think Powerpets lacks good art and their art is so out-dated and needs revamping. Powerpets is a virtual pet site and yet it doesn’t have virtual pets - but real-life animals and they call them “virtual pets”, why can’t Powerpets be unique and create their own pets for users to adopt?

The worlds aren’t unique either and are named after toher countries that exist in our world - from North America to South America. Why can’t Powerpets come up with their own virtual world names instead of basing them of real worlds in today’s world? Powerpets needs to be more unique if they want to attract new members and going to compete with all the other pet sites out there.

They lack updates. Sure they usually post one big update every Saturday on the Powerpress, but users would rather see big updates throughout the week instead of reading one page… So, do you hate Powerpets or do you love it?

Powerpets potential

Filed under: Powerpets — Tags: — admin @ 5:42 pm

Powerpets used to be the second largest virtual pet site next to Neopets.com, however; ever since the launch of Marapets its popularity as gone down and more users are moving to Marapets. Why is this? Powerpets is going downhill because of its lack of being a “virtual pet site”, it has real-life animals but it doesn’t have “virtual pets”. Maybe if Powerpets pushed the site towards being an actual virtual pet site, then it might be able to surpass Marapets again. Its economy is great, its art is okay, but their lack of innovation isn’t. They’re working on v2 of Powerpets which is said to be launched by the end of the year and will hopefully put Powerpets back in the lead of Marapets… We’ll just have to wait and see.

What Powerpets needs to do though if they want to overpower Marapets is release new features that Marapets has yet to release. They need more quests - maybe a few unlimited quests such as; food, toys, etc that aren’t exactly like their regular quests and things to do. Powerpets lacks things to do and it really needs to work on that if they wish to come back as the #1 contender to Neopets.com. Marapets will be the leader for the next few years unless Powerpets steps their game up…

Let’s see how Powerpets can compete again. It’s lacking optimization of on-site keywords. Powerpets is a virtual pet site, correct? So if it wants to rank for such terms, they’ll have to do the following:
-Change the title tag. It’s annoying. It should be “Power Pets: Adopt Virtual pets” or something better than their current one of “Power Pets - Adopt Virtual Pets and play Free Games in a Virtual World”. They’re trying to rank for “games” with its current title, but that’s not going to cut it. Don’t try to rank Powerpets if you’re not building backlinks as well.
-Change the description from “Power pets - Play free games and adopt virtual pets. Everyone needs a virtual pet!” to “Power pets, adopt virtual pets and play with everyone’s favorite virtual pet!”. That way you can rank for “virtual pet” as well as “virtual pets”.

-Rewrite your current homepage. It’s small and doesn’t explain Powerpets much. Why not change it to something like this? Powerpets is a virtual pet site where you can compete in many virtual worlds as well as emerge yourself with our various virtual pets; care for them, raise them and play games with your very own virtual pet! Our various pets can be adopted by anybody whether you like real life animals or virtual pets; we have many pets to chose from!
-Also; tell more about Powerpets on the homepage, write up a longer description about Powerpets so that your visitors know what the game is like and such.

Why try to compete with Marapets with having the keyword “dress up” your profile on the homepage? Don’t include stupid keywords unless you’re building links with it in the link anchor.

So, with that being said; what else do you guys think Powerpets can do to become the #1 contender to Neopets.com again?
