The success of a rural tourism business largely depends on promotional activities. Having developed a tourist product, owners of rural tourism facilities should therefore inform the buyers about it. Usually, they rely on websites and social media for this purpose. However, for a website to fulfill its function, it should be of high quality. The improvement of website quality can be achieved through measures which include search engine optimization (SEO) and content and graphics optimization. The purpose of this paper is to assess the potential of image optimization on websites of Polish rural tourism facilities. The research covered 1000 paid domain websites. The largest part of the sites surveyed were rated good in terms of graphic file optimization. In spite of this, it was possible to reduce the size of graphic files covered by this study and used in the research model by as much as 67% without significantly deteriorating their quality. This research showed that image optimization has no direct impact on the outcome of an SEO audit, and that images can be optimized even for websites with high final scores.

As the logic of data-driven metrification reconfigures various realms of social and economic life, cultural workers—from journalists and musicians to photographers and social media content creators—are pursuing online visibility in earnest. Despite workers’ patterned deployment of search engine optimization, reciprocal linking, and automated engagement-boosting, tech companies routinely denigrate such practices as gaming the system. This article critically probes discourses and practices of so-called system-gaming by analyzing three key moments when platforms accused cultural producers of algorithmic manipulation. Empirically, we draw upon textual analyses of news articles ( n = 105) and user guidelines published by Google, Facebook, and Instagram. Our findings suggest that the line between what platforms deem illegitimate algorithmic manipulation and legitimate strategy is nebulous and largely reflective of their material interests. However, the language used to invoke this distinction is strongly normative, condemning “system gamers” as morally bankrupt, while casting platform companies as neutral actors working to uphold the ideals of authenticity and integrity. We term this dynamic “platform paternalism” and conclude that gaming accusations constitute an important mechanism through which platforms legitimate their power and authority, to the detriment of less well-established cultural producers.

AbstractThe development of internet-based technology has become a media for spreading information which is faster and more efficient than other media, such as print and electronic media. It is what drives a number of business owners to start exploring the digital world by opening websites and social media to promote their businesses. Multi Jaya Press is a company in Banyumas Regency which is engaged in the sale of motorcycle press tool and workshop installation services. In the marketing process,, Multi Jaya Press uses media in the form of a website which is located at www.superbengkel.co.id. The use of the website is still not optimal for searching several targeted keywords, thus the website is difficult to be found by the google search engine organically. Generally, a website owner will make a quick decision to solve this problem using paid Google ads. Although it can appear on the top page of google search, the use of paid Google ads will cost a lot of money. It is clearly seen when a website uses google ads, it will be labeled as an "advertisement". Therefore, a suitable strategy is needed to increase the position of keywords on the website www.superbengkel.co.id on the Google search page or the Search Engine Results Page (SERP). One of that strategy is the use of Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The result of this research is that the website appears on the start page of Google search with the targeted keywords.Keywords: Website;Search Engine Optimization;SEO;Google;SERPAbstrakPerkembangan teknologi berbasis internet menjadi media penyebaran informasi yang lebih cepat dan efisien dibandingkan media lain seperti media cetak dan elektronik. Hal inilah yang menggerakan sejumlah pemilik bisnis untuk mulai merambah dunia digital dengan membuka website maupun media sosial untuk mempromosikan usaha mereka. Multi Jaya Press merupakan salah satu perusahaan di Kabupaten Banyumas yang bergerak dalam bidang penjualan alat press sepeda motor dan jasa instalasi bengkel. Dalam pemasarannya, Multi Jaya Press menggunakan media berupa website yang beralamat di www.superbengkel.co.id. Penggunaan website ini pun masih belum optimal, terutama dalam pencarian beberapa kata kunci yang ditargetkan. Hal ini menyebabkan website sulit ditemukan oleh mesin pencari google secara organik. Umumnya, seorang pemilik website akan mengambil keputusan secara cepat untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut yaitu dengan menggunakan iklan berbayar dari google. Meskipun dapat tampil di halaman teratas pencarian google, akan tetapi penggunaan iklan seperti ini akan memakan biaya yang tidak sedikit. Terlebih ketika sebuah website menggunakan iklan dari google, maka akan dilabeli ‘iklan’ yang memungkinkan pengguna google lain tidak mau mengunjungi website tersebut. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan strategi yang cocok untuk menaikkan posisi kata kunci pada website www.superbengkel.co.id di halaman pencarian google atau Search Engine Results Page (SERP), salah satunya dengan menggunakan Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah website muncul di halaman awal pencarian google dengan kata kunci yang ditargetkan.Kata Kunci: Website;Search Engine Optimization;SEO;Google;SERP
