Poker Search Engine Optimization

Internet Marketing Consulting / Contact Info

Poker SEO ConsultantMy name is Steve Badger. For a couple years after I opened Playwinningpoker.com in 2000, only three other sites (Twoplustwo.com, Pokerpages.com and to a somewhat lesser extent Thepokerforum.com) were getting a meaningful amount of web traffic, which meant they could get paid-in-advance advertising from those wanting to expose their product to poker-interested web surfers. Others like Cardplayer.com and Poker.net were in existence, but did not yet "get" that the public was hungry for quality information online, and were willing to literally "search" it out. Today there are over one hundred very good to high quality poker information sites out there, plus thousands of mediocre and low quality ones. The competition is nearly infinitely greater, but fortunately the number of people (especially internationally) seeking out quality poker strategy and information has grown almost as explosively as the number of sites has.

More significantly, back then one cardroom commanded 85%+ of the market. Today there are a couple dozen significant poker rooms, and you can't walk around the block without tripping over a skin of one of the card room networks.

One aspect of this brave new world is that a lot of people opening websites really have no clue about poker, and it shows. They just want to make advertising or affiliate dollars from the skill of being able to put up a website on the topic. These "hey, let's build a poker site" folks can manage to make reasonable money, particularly if their skill is to know how to rank in search engines. A new day is coming though, when more people know what they are doing, and to be blunt about it, multimillion dollar companies will no longer be able to compete with the multibillion dollar cardrooms for search traffic. That day is still a ways off though because to date the cardrooms are quite lame at search marketing.

In any case, way down here at the bottom of the page, I'll mention that I do consider and take offers to do poker search marketing consulting for other companies. Before you start running for your checkbook though, the minimum price is in the six figures. So if you aren't an eight, nine or ten-figure business, you probably can't afford a deal, but if you are, below is a contact email address:
