Search engines index billions of URLs whether they be good, bad or just down right ugly. The signals of trust, merit and intent plays an integral role to any website’s placement in the search results.

In this article I’m going to discuss how signals of trust determine onsite and offsite signals. Link citations, connections in conjunction with credibility aren’t going anywhere. If you had a billion dollars to spend on a search engine, what signals will you use to produce the desired results?

The links you depend on for both traffic and to rank your website better in the serps (Search Engine Results Pages) must be top-notch. If your link-building efforts is a watered-down version and not wisely chosen, the day will come when you will regret it. This is why the value of certain types of links cannot be underestimated.

Nothing satisfies a portal casino webmaster more than creating an article that the entire world will read. If you can accomplish this you’ll receive a truckload of shares and backlinks in return.

Without content your site will be lost in a sea of other websites all competing for the same SERPS (Search Engine Ranking Positions) space as you.

To get your campaign on wheels there’s a few things you can do to spice things up a bit. If your article is trending and well-written it will get people talking and they’ll even leave some much needed comments. In this article I’m going to show you how to write an article that Google loves. Fasten your seat belts here …

At this stage internet casinos use three distinct types of software. Since there are players that are still not familiar with the various types, I’m going to discuss the pros and cons of each in this article.

What Are They? Download Software (Client-Based) Browser-Based Java 1. Downloadable Casino Software

During the embryonic stage of cyber gambling, the download software was the only software platform available. Many gamblers now regard this software as cumbersome yet it’s still widely used. What exactly does ”download” mean? Before a player can play the games offered by an online casino the games must first be pre-installed onto the player’s computer. Just like Mircrosoft Word and Excel, the casino’s software is stored on the hard drive of the computer. Once the software has been installed the player can interact with the casino.

Pros Of The Download Software? The speed of play is usually faster. Offers superior …

By re-defining global capitalism, Internet technology has shaped the prices of goods and services and exponentially reduced the cost of doing business for any would-be entrepreneur.

Strictly speaking it opened the door for small-scale venture capitalists that have access to opportunities they won’t necessarily have in the physical world. Suddenly the impossible is now possible. One can now justifiably talk about a ”New World”, a ”Land of Plenty” literally flowing with milk and honey. The Internet is now open to Joe Public, a domain once exclusively reserved to millionaires and major corporations. Now, anyone with a dream can now operate a business within the vastness of its space.

More than half of the Internet’s users reside in America, the shining beacon of global capitalism. Aside from Vegas, Atlantic City and certain autonomous Indian reservations, the business of internet gambling is still pretty much prohibited in the world’s greatest economy. In …

As it is internet gambling has a bit of a stigma attached to it because there are many unscrupulous individuals that use it as a means to launder money. Many governments have started regulating it in an effort to curb it and to stop money gained from illegal online gambling to fund possible terrorist organizations.

There are two types of money laundering. The first is made up of complex transnational operations designed to hide the criminal activities of large scale crimes in an effort so that people and property appear legitimate. The other is to conceal, disguise or to dispose of the proceeds. More often than not these crimes help feed gambling addiction. In this article I’m going to venture into the cloak and dagger world and how igaming is used as means by shady individuals to launder money.

How Do Unethical Operators Launder Money?

After the initial Panda and Penguin (Panguin) updates a few years ago thousands of portal casinos were affected. The question that still eludes most webmasters, can one still prosper after these shakeups? Yes you can. In this article I’m going to explore just this.

By adhering to Google’s Webmasters Guidelines and creating a great website-you’ll see a surge in traffic. You can prosper where others fail. The people that succeed are the ones that work hard and never the ”shortcut people”.

”Great content is the best sales tool in the world” Marcus Sheridan

How Do I Survive The Post Panguin Cut?

If your website has been online before 2011 (when Panda rolled out first), it may have experienced a severe penalty. The first thing you must do, go through it and delete pages with poor quality content and those that have loads of shoddy links pointing to them. …

Online gambling in South Africa is still perceived as a social evil. The Democratic Alliance said that it must be regulated in the country since SA punters are still gambling at illegal offshore sites.

DA Calls For Proper Internet Gambling Regulation

Geordin Hill-Lewis, MP (Member of Parliament) for the Democratic Alliance in South Africa said that online gambling is a pastime enjoyed by many South Africans and it’s time that the SA government steps up to the plate and legalize it.

Hill-Lewise said that to a certain extent he understands the government’s reservations and why it has not legalized it yet but it’s impossible to ‘block’ the internet since minors already have access to it. The government fears that it will create an unnecessary breeding ground for underage gambling and problem gamblers. However, if one delves a bit further into the issue it’s pretty obvious why the government is dragging …

The last few weeks we have been blessed with some incredible interviews. In this article I’m going to add some of the pressing questions I’ve asked the industry experts I’ve interviewed.

Although online gambling is still not legalized and regulated by the Australian government this sector is growing from strength to strength.

Webmasters are familiar with on-page SEO since it’s been covered to the point of exhaustion in most SEO articles and gambling forums like the GPWA. But many folk are still not familiar with the intricacies of off-page SEO and what it entails.

Post Panda and Penguin, thousands of online casino affiliates decided to play it safe by just adding quality content to their sites. The reason for this is simple:they feared that their sites might incur a penalty from these pesky birds. But just adding quality content is not going to cut it any more-SEO is a holistic process.
