No one talks about sculpting PageRank anymore, and that’s good, because it was never a good strategy. But here’s one way to sculpt PageRank that actually works. But calling it “sculpting” is a mis-nomer, because what you’re really doing is redirecting PageRank.

Poker Search Channels

Optimizing 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...

I was on Jeremy‘s poker affiliate radio show last week with Michael Martinez. I thought I’d write some answers to some of the questions that were on the agenda for the show here on my blog, so that they aren’t exclusively “poker SEO radio” issues. What’s the value of getting a DMOZ link? How do you get a poker site accepted to DMOZ? A DMOZ link is a valuable lin...
