FIRST, LET’S DEFINE WHAT I MEAN BY SPAM
I’m going really big here…for the ease of the argument…
Any link that is not naturally earned and/or deserved.
SECONDLY LET ME SAY THAT…
Spam still works.
Are there potential alternatives to spam techniques within the gambling niche that can successfully drive rankings for competitive terms. If so, what are those
techniques?
SO…ONTO THE FIRST POINT…CAN IT BE DONE?
Yep.
In order to rank in competitive gaming SERPs – what we need is SCALE.
CORRELATION BETWEEN NUMBER OF LINKS AND RANKING POSITION MOST VISIBLE IN GAMING SERPS
FIRST LET ME SAY WHAT NOT TO DO
Don’t pay for links, pay for
exposure
Transforming gambling from an
insiders conversation in to
something that publishers are
willing to talk about.
p.s – who gives a shit about energy
drinks?
CREATE A BRAND PERSONA TO LEVERAGE LINKS
Be greater with (audience) data
IDENTIFYING AUDIENCE BEHAVIOUR People who have played roulette or poker online in the past 3 months…

between 25-34
bingo- only 11% more likely
He’s also 87% more likely to be a regular
cinema go-er.

Potential Topics
Topics to Avoid

LINK RECLAMATION
Don’t just monitor your brand, monitor your COMPETITORS.
Monitor the brands you aspire to be, why are people talking about them?
AND IF ALL THAT FAILS…JUST MAKE UP CRAZY SHIT THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN FOR COVERAGE
