Notice how my website is being found for some pretty obscure keyword phrases?

The only reason my site was found for "wsop satellites minnesota" is because I just happen to mention on one of my pages that last years WSOP champ Greg Raymer went to the University of Minnesota!!!

The more original content you have on your site, the more keyword phrases you will have to snag visitors. Think of your content like a fishing net, the bigger the net, the more fish you'll catch.

Getting back on topic, I've had new sites that got picked up by Google in less than 24 hours and I've had sites that took a month. You just need to be patient.

While your waiting add content to your site, as much as you can, it'll pay off.

It doesn't have to be fancy, just original. Write about what you know. If you don't know much about poker..... read some poker books.

A good chunk of my sites content came about from ideas I got from Lou Kriegers "Poker for Dummies". Solid poker advice in an easy to read style.

This is a great post, and everyone should thank Dave for being willing to share this. Something I might add is that if you see that you're getting referrals for a phrase you're not targeting, then write some content around the phrase. You'll rank higher for the phrase eventually, and you'll be adding value for your traffic.

Right on advice Randy.... use common sense.... work hard and build your business.

It's that easy if you listen to the elders on this forum.

Randy.... do you ever feel like your wisdom is going in one ear and out the other.

I sure do.

I guess it's for the best, less competition for us

Yes, exactly how I feel most of the time.
