Casino SEO

[SamCUK]

I'm considering entering the online casino arena with an affiliate site. These keywords such as 'online roulette', 'online blackjack' are massively competitive with high page and domain authority sites on page one. Does anyone have any experience of this area and is it possible to compete in it? Apparently long tail keywords don't really convert in this area so I may have to go for these highly competitive keywords. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, Rome wasn't built in a day... That's why Google invented AdWords. It all depends on your marketing budget, but good quality links, good on site SEO and generate as much traffic as you can. There is no quick fix.. Crunch the numbers, but once you get a small base of players - recommend a friend to receive 'x' dollars of chips always works well... Don't ignore FB likes (social media) too, again receive 'x' dollars if you like us on Facebook.. Large amounts of traffic is very important with casino's/betting site.
