Online Gambling SEO Question

blackbit78 said:

Hi, the world of online casinos is extremely competitive. It is very difficult to rank high for the best keywords without a high budget. After a lot of hard work, then you find that you often have players who sign up but don't play. It is very important to have an affiliate manager to help and support you. Can I ask you in which market do you work?

@Zpher you may have over optimized your money keywords

Nowadays most of them do this mistake

That's correct. The budget that I have can increase and i am trying to fight for lower keyword difficulties (KD is about 30 and below). Do you think this would work?

I am in the Indonesian market right now. The market for online gambling is growing immensely.


I see, i followed the forum that states that my money keywords should be about 10-15%. Other than that, i used LSI, Citation, Secondary Keywords and Generic Keywords. All around 10-20% each. Do you think this might be a problem?

Hi!

I am working SEO on a online gambling website. Since i am located in a country where this is illegal, i dont have many choices as to where i can get real and good backlinks. Therefore my only way is to make and purchase PBN's. I also am running GSA on my tier 1, 2, and 3 websites that links to my MS. Other than that, i just create article posts on my PBNs. And of course all PBNs have different IP and host.

Our budget is also average but it will never be as high as the top rankings in the most popular keywords.

I have been working on this for around 4 months now but i dont see that much improvement in rankings. Ahrefs shows that i gained keywords but my site is always in page 7+ and after a few days, its gone. I need to run black hat on this because i dont see any other way to do it. And right now i am stuck.

If any of you have any ideas, please let me know. All ideas and inputs are immensely appreciated.

Thank you!

It is quite difficult for your scope of work if you want to do it organically since there is a lot of competition I would recommend you to boost traffic with the help of a mobile proxy, there are a lot of options just look for the one that best suits your needs and budget.

Casinos are a very hard and demanding niche since there is a pretty high competition there, so yes, your only choice would be PBNs, and here you should also invest a higher budget in order to start getting some real results.

Sorry, but people who commented here have no fuckin clue what they are talking about, especially for the Indonesian casino market.
Do what everyone else is doing - buy a really strong auctioned domain, preferable with history of high traffic, put your website there, spam the shit out with money anchors and hope for the best (to rank for the good keywords for 2-3 months) then your website will get banned (filtered so wont open in Indonesia), and you start over again. So its basically churn and burn projects with auctioned domains. I do not want to give examples here, but you can see for yourself what is ranking for the good keywords.

get quality pbns , many site owners block their page crawl bots so pbns are useless for buyers !

Spam backlinks via PBNs?

Its difficult that in a few months or even sometimes a few weeks, gambling websites gets banned and then, having to spend $5k+ on good expired domains. The issue is that the budget isn't that high.

That's why I was thinking to rank for easier keywords with low KD and hope to god that I rank for it.

Regardless of easy keywords or not, I am still competing with other websites that has a bigger budget. Which brings me back to step one xD

Do you maybe have any recommendations for me? Every suggestion helps. Thank you!
