Google groups seo

[rob3786]

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.

Very true.
I didn't even mention it.
It's due to the PartyCasino banner...well done guys.

About SEO, read this, it's very basic but covers a wide area of the things you should know...of course there is still a lot they don't even mention:

Hi rob3786

When looking at any kind of online marketing, I would suggest that you rather look at the target audience first. Google groups are outside your target audience and the visitors you will receive will most probably not even convert. SEO works on the same basic principle as you need to do keyword research and compile your pages with the primary keywords in mind. That way you get the best conversions for the traffic your site generate. You can apply the same rule on Banner advertising, viral marketing etc.

Alexandre mentions a few very important points. SEO is your primary most important marketing method. Onpage factors are simple to apply and most probably has added benefits on the usability of your site. Address the SEO issue first and keep on applying it as you continue growing the content on your site. It is simple rules that are easy to apply and then you can address other marketing methods as you go along. One of the points that Alexandre mention is Page titles. They are all the same. It is a simple process to make them unique to each page. It will at most take you a day or two to sort out and you will be amazed as the traffic increases.

Chatmaster...maybe we know each others in another life.
SEO and casino seems very connected.
I'm just thinking about Webcaz right now, but in France many affiliates try to enter the SEO community and some SEO target the egaming market but few of them come to the forums.
I've seen that Glen from ViperChill (I've discovered his blog through the article I've posted here before, very nice one) is a mod of your forum....OMG, I've just seen his photo, Glen is a kid.
I'm about to check his favorites blogs, except SEOmoz, I've never heard of them:

Hi Alexandre

Digital-m is not my forum lol. It belongs to Daniel. Daniel and Paz asked me to mod their forum shortly after they started it. I have never met Glen and only got to know him from the that forum. He is pretty clued up though.
