Poker Writing Jobs
Sunday, October 11th, 2009Poker writing jobs are plentiful enough, but qualified poker writers are scarce indeed. One might think that problem poker writers would fall into one of two categories: Good poker players who can’t write well Good writers who can’t play poker well But one would be mistaken. The poor poker writers outnumber the poor poker players five to one. These poker writing articles are intended...
Poker Search Channels
Thursday, October 8th, 2009Optimizing for a single search channel is foolish in today’s search environment. Google isn’t one search engine; it’s multiple search engines. Neither are Yahoo or Bing; they’re multiple search engines too. All large, modern search engines offer multiple search engines. Think of these multiple search engines as channels. Ranking on the main page of a Google poker related se...

How to Think Outside of the Box
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009A post on another poker affiliate blog contends that “thinking outside of the box is idiotic advice“. The phrase IS trite, isn’t it? And the people who repeat that phrase like a mantra are the least likely to actually think outside of the box. But it’s far from the worst poker affiliate advice I’ve ever seen. The problem is that most poker webmasters don’t know...

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009I never get tired of writing about poker link requests that suck. Here are two example poker link request emails, along with some explanations of what’s wrong and what’s right with them. (Yes, I’ve written similar posts in the past, but I never get tired of these.) Poker Link Request Email That Sucks This is an actual poker link request that I received in my in-box. Dear Webmast...
How to Launch a Poker Site Network – for Beginners
Monday, October 5th, 2009Most poker webmasters who’ve been a this a while already have a poker site network. This post isn’t specifically for them, but they might benefit from it anyway. This post describes (for the beginner poker webmaster) how to launch a poker site network. I offer one way of launching a network, but it’s not the only way. It might not even be the best way. But it’s a good examp...
Poker SEO Cliches and Poker Link Building Cliches
Monday, October 5th, 2009Here’s a random list of cliches along with some thoughts on how they apply to the poker SEO and poker link building life. There might be something useful hidden in here. But some of this is just pure observation. Good things come to those who wait. This isn’t true in poker SEO. When doing search engine optimization on a poker site, good things come to those who create great poker cont...
Texas Holdem SEO
Sunday, October 4th, 2009This “Texas Holdem SEO” post is related to a post about “online poker SEO” that I wrote a little over a week ago. In that post, I provided an example of the kind of competitive research I do when I’m targeting a particularly competitive phrase. In that case, I was looking at the phrase “online poker”. I’m going to repeat the process here for the phr...
