It should help some (there is plenty of controversy over this), but not near as much as a related site even with a lower PR (to an extent).

This is debatable and I am no seo expert but I have done some tests and some of my non-gambling links out rank backlinks from other poker sites for the same terms.

edited by me - misunderstood Oz's post more so what he was saying

I thought that was what I did here :

When I found that tool I thought it ws my godsend...I mean really here is a little thing enter my site it tells me whats wrong and presto I fix it...I dont think you can rely on these things to be accurate...who knows maybe I am wrong just I have never seen any difference by using these tools.

You have to get your on-page stuff down, but I was talking more about after that. Once your site is seo'd well, is there an advantage to buying PR6 or 7 links even if they aren't related to your site.

I personally would much rather have an in text link from a page that is directly related to my anchor text rather than buying a link on a pr6 site that has no relevance. Im not saying they don't help, but I think links from related pages go further with google.

It's just an indicator that things aren't right and gives some basic advise like missing "alt" tags - as I figure it the closer you are to 100% in those scores the better you off you'll be.

But hey...I ain't applying for the job - I was just chucking in some things that have worked for me.

I now rank #3-#8 for my most important terms for one of my sites and just got a 2 text line site to PR2 in a month using an experimental test so I can't be doing that bad - although I certainly used to be that way.

Hey I would bet for $10k you could get the guys from Poker-SEO.com for 6 months and some change.

10k for 6 months? For actual SEO experts?
