Poker Traffic or Poker Rankings?

Randy Ray — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:59:11 +0000

The most common way for poker webmasters to find targets for their linkbuilding strategy is to research who’s linking to your competitors. Here’s why I think that strategy sucks: Even if you succeed in getting the same backlinks that your competitor has, you’re always trying to play catch-up.
