Casino seo, Poker seo and Gambling seo
Providing Casino SEO to the Poker and Gambling Industry.
The 2nd largest indusry online is the Online gambling industry and one of the biggest generators of this industries revenues has been the affiliated industry. The increase in portals and blogs serving banner ads or text link advertisements that run on a affiliate basis has helped in a big way.
Affiliate campaigns work in two different ways the casino pays out on either a CPA basis or Rev share basis. CPA means a set fee is provided to the site owner for ever signed up player no matter how much they gamble over the lifetime of them being a player with that particular casino. Revenue share provides you with a percentage of the revenue generated from a player online and this is the most popular way of running a casino affiliate campaign. This continues over the full lifetime that the player is a member of the casino.
Seo is a great way of generating traffic but the casino industry is such a competitive industry we are now at a point where to start a fresh and crack a first page listing under a generic terms such as online casino is almost impossible. The number of incoming links that would be required to build would run into the hundreds of thousands.
Where we run seo campaigns for casino, poker and gambling clients we target longer tail keywords that are a far more realistic target. If you are looking for any help or advice in the gambling industry on seo then please contact one of our internet marketing experts.

Google Buzz tries to Buzz Facebook
Google Buzz v's Facebook
Google Buzz a way to compete with Facebook.
The Internet has seen a similar situation in the past. You tube was increasing its traffic levels then Google stepped in and purchased the site. Google followed on and integrated its famous AdSense ads and has now added a wide range of in video advertising.
Google could see the massive potential of youtube even though they already had there own Google video tool. Now the next threat and major traffic generator is Facebook and Google has introduced its very own social networking tool with Google buzz using your existing gmail email account you can begin. Follow and chat with people using the tool and you can even install it on your iphone. Add photos and integrate the other social networking advertising tools such as twitter, picasa, Flickr.
Will Google Buzz compete with Facebook ?
In my opinion I don’t think so. Facebook for me is here to stay but will google buzz provide a nice add on to current gmail users yes it will and this is as far as I see this new tool progressing.
I am afraid it will take another hundred million pound bid from google if they are to take Facebook.

Google Adwords on Fixed Fee Beware !
Over the past few months it has been brought to our attention an increasing number of marketing companies selling google adwords cpc on a fixed fee for 1st page positions. Following a constant flow of companies and after speaking to a number of sales men at these companies I felt it was our duty to try and inform the Uk business community the full ins and outs of this concept.
Put simply companies or agencies no matter how large cannot get google adwords at a lower fee than yourselves. If you were to open a google account tomorrow the same prices would apply. So I would like to put to bed this statement that companies can somehow receive a wholesale batch fee on fixed adwords placements it is simply not true.
I decided to get this 100% confirmed by my contact at Google Ireland and it was ” You cannot purchase adwords on a fixed fee on the first page of google” and “these companies are lieing” it was explained. So how exactly does it work and why are these companies selling adwords in this way.
Well to start with doesn’t it sound great you can be listed on google for a set fee for a choice of a few phrases ! If it was true we would be the first people doing it. But when you look into it the cracks begin to appear firstly the keyword or phrases that you choose are they going to be generic well used keywords I think not. The use of regional and long tail keywords that will give you a first page listing but wont deliver a massive amount of traffic is the way these companies operate.
Put simply these companies need to make money somehow I cannot speak for the way in which these companies use there funds received but the funds will not be used 100% on your google ads. Which is why being 100% transparent and knowing exactly where your spend is going is so important if you are considering google AdWords as a means of advertising for your company.
If you have experienced any problems with similar fixed fee google adwords offers please post your experiences below.
Google Universal Think Beyond Web Search
Using Google Universal as a way of generating traffic
In the times of the credit crunch and the worst recession in living memory in is important to remember with your online marketing you can achieve results not just in the conventional ways on google. As has been said before there is more than one way to skin a cat. This couldn’t be more true today with online marketing especially with google first page listings which we all strive for online.
You may offer a service or product it doesn’t matter you can apply these same principals to your company to improve the visibility online. To break things up and get to the point a search result page on google is made up of several different sections.
Lets leave bog standard search results and Google adwords cpc to one side and focus on other sources of traffic.
Google Universal means of getting a first page result
1. Google Maps results from local search – You can generate good levels of traffic from these by getting them properly manipulated to a particular search result that applies to your business and more importantly is being searched.
2. Google Images – On many searches Google displays the top images for that result so get tagging your images its common sense and doesn’t cost a penny so no excuses.
3. Blog Search – The blog search results displays the results taken from blogs posted across the globe.
4. Google News – Submit a press release and get listed on the google news section you could appear on the news section on the first page of the search results.
5. Live Search – As already mentioned earlier sites like twitter are now displaying search results on google live.
Link Building strategies
Using Different Link Building Strategies
There is no easy way of building links naturally the easiest way is of course to purchase links from sites that offer advertising positions but this can be expensive and when purchased still only provides links from one site position. So links will only arrive from one location online.
Here are the best ways in order to generate back links to your sites -
1. Article Writing - this can be on your own blog or using article submission sites online of which there are hundreds to choose from.
2. Social Bookmarking sites – Take a look at Digg and Delicious. Also consider opening a twitter or Flickr account.
3. Press releases – again you can find sites online that provide the ability to generate press releases that will find there way onto google news.
4. Old fashioned Webmaster contact – Email existing sites in your industry that have a links page and see if you can trade links. There is no easy way of doing this and it take good honest graft and time.
5. Leave Blog Comments – Add to the conversation online and leave comments on other blogs. You can leave your URL and name that will link to your site. Don’t spam blogs but add to the conversation and make it relevant.
Another tips is to look out for authority sites within your industry. So for example .gov , .edu or .org domains are ideal for this purpose. Google actually takes notice of things as specific as this also of course link from your keyword.
