Google groups seo

Is google groups a good section to boost your sites visibility by writing articles here who else has used it and what have your results been like?

Sometimes I use google's 'free' tools, but you have to remember that EVERYONE in our sector tries to play google one way or another.

Google works hard to make sure that the free stuff they offer can not be exploited to increase a sites ranking. They don't always secede in this, but regardless they are always trying. So any 'boost' your sites rankings 'may' receive from google groups is only going to be temporary. Once Matt Cutts and his team of spam fighting search engineers get on to it any boost in ranking goes away real fast.

I personally think your better off 'ranking wise' to just offer RSS feeds of good well written articles and then make sure all the 'right' places have your feed.

My 2p

I agree with lots0. I owned a Google Group and entertained it for a while with fresh articles etc but it had minimal impact.

Could you show us the website you want to rank ?

www.jackpotavenue.com is my website its relatively new started in January. Just was wondering if google groups was a good place to promote sites?

Well, I don't don't where to start.
First of all, finish your website.
You have all these links pointing to ourcasino.php webpage.
Put different titles on your pages.
But, if you want to take my advice, you are way to far from success with your website through SEO.
Just forget it.
It's better you use a marketing field ou know better (if there is one, otherwise learn very hard or just leave it) like email marketing, PPC or whatever.

Don't know if I agree with Alexandre about forgetting it, we all started somewhere.

Online Gambling is a very very tough nitch, if your not up to snuf on SEO (and as Alexandre pointed out you've got a long long way to go, if that site is any example of your SEO expertise) you should think about hiring a good SEO consultant.

You also have what I would consider to be a major problem. Your security certificate (secure.partypartners) is not valid and it is triggering my security programs... Your not going to get many conversions with a security warning popping up.

I said if there is no other marketing field he knows better than SEO because obviously he doesn't know a lot about eGaming to, then I think it urges that he learns fast because he has a lot to do.
