Ranking in SERP's

[Randy]

I'd place a bet with anyone here that they wont get a top 5 position for the top terms like online poker, poker, casino and I'll give you 3 years to do it.

PM me details of how much you'd like to bet and we'll talk about the terms of the bet.

I'd bet 10k, poker news can escrow it, if they would do that and your ok with sending them the cash - they can take the funds from my paw affiliate account (i'd bet more as im very confident i would win, but then i would have dead money for 3 years which should be working and earning for me).

My terms would be real simple, get to top 5 position for either online poker, poker or casino within 3 years without spending $1000's on links.

Also I guess you would have to keep a top 5 position for a small amount of time (as popping in top5 for 1 or 2 days while google is jumping around wont count) and of course let us know which site will be doing this.



Im willing and able to do this bet, but problem is waiting 3 years would be a pain in the aXX lol

But Randy, I wasn't having a dig at you before, all im trying to say is I think its a complete waste of time for any new / inexperienced affiliate to go after these terms.

and "dbirider" when someone comes up with this so great idea / tool and get 1000's of other webmasters to link to you - let me know and I'll eat some tasty humble pie - yes its possible, but unlikely

I knew you weren't trying to get in a dig at me. I just thought a bet might be fun.

Would the phrase "casinos" or "online casinos" be acceptable over "casino"?

[Darko]

hehehe, no way - it was only for the top terms i mentioned which are the nutz $$$ and searched many multiples then casinos and online casinos.

the bet would be fun, especially for you if you succeded as not only would you win the bet you would be making many times the bet a month from SE visitors.

Kaus,

here is an example I just accomplished.

A site that I have had sitting around for a long time finally needed some work. I never tried to make an impact in the major terms with this site because it was just going to be too much work. Well, that was back before I became an seo-a-holic.

Now that I have the SEO skills to even impress myself, I was able to take this site for 3 MAJOR terms that I was on page 5 or later for and now I'm on the first page for each term and even #5 for one term all in less than 2 months.

Traffic shot through the roof since these are terms that get 1,000's searches a day.

You know if you are on the ball and your competition lets their guard down, go for the throat and take their spot. it's an easy thing to do.

I'm totally whitehat with an excellent understanding of how blackhat works. this is key. Knowing what they are doing is a great way to one up them and stay there.

Like it was mentioned there are few poker blackhats out there. At least not the blatant ones anyway

I'll place a bet on anyone here using terrms like online poker, poker, casino & they will get more hits (longtail) than they would have.

Sorry, didnt want to but in. I wont post in general incase I offend the selected few. So the the answer to your question brandon, ban me if you consider me offensive. I appologise if i over stepped the mark, but that is me, not meant offensive in any way. I intend 2 piss people off in every way in a forum, but not really & I always genuinly made an effort to help others.
It pissed me off that others more knowledgable didnt give a fuck about helping people.

So to answer you thread brandon. Yes, I am crazy. Yes I get pissed and post. stress levels, your high flying life couldnt compare.

I appologise for offending but if I came back, I would do the same. Ive always wanted to move forward but the only person eho has actually stepped forward was losercore. Other suggestions ive had was to promote duds like fulltilt, partypoker, titan & ongame sites. I son realised that your multiple choice answers have selective tracking

I'll pay anyone $50,000 USD to get one of my sites to #1, #2, or #3 in google within the next year for those terms, online poker, poker, casino (serious offer).

I am very confident that a start-up site or newer portal couldn't compete for these positions with the type of back links mentioned about FullTilt, not too mention the aged links as well as links from authority sites. I remember when FullTilt implemented those text links into their aff. banners. Quite frankly that was one of the smartest things I have ever seen them do.

I think a more established portal could possibly do it in a year or two, but there are only a handful out there with the resources and cash.

hi

just a thought while the big guns are getting the big money across the table - really looking forward to watching whatever gets agreed - got to be good blog material for someone - beanie ???

how about a small scale affiliates side bet for just ranking anywhere in top100 for "poker" or "online poker"

whoever gets the highest rank (where ever it is) for "poker" or "online poker" takes the total entrants pot

I'll put up a friendly tenner - thats $20 in USD

I think I briefly saw my site in top 100 for a couple of days last week at 87-89 and now back to 9million and 8

I wasnt even going for it (poker / online poker) so it was a bit of a suprise until I saw steve's poker-seo post saying google was ranking bad sites in top10 so I guess 87th was maybe a free spot for the day too.

anyway there it is -

if there are 10 or 20 new or small affiliates who dont rank for "poker" or "online poker" willing to take on a smaller wager

$20 x 20 affiliates = $400 pot for whoever has the highest rank in 6 mnths time

any takers ? jeremy could you be the judge

cheers scrawnybob

I would give it a go....

I am sure more can join in...if I am willing to try well

Sounds like fun, I would be up for that for shits n giggles. I doubt I would stand much of a chance but would be great fun.

I'm in.
