Video Keno gambling SEO client !? Do I want em?

[Mrupp44]

I have a guy who wants SEO help.

Actually he owns several companies and is willing to put my ad before all the movies in a local theater plus an ad AND a Q&A section about SEO and Internet marketing in a small newspaper he mails to 7k businesses every month in exchange for my help.

While I am excited about the exposure and I'm sure it would result in some business I'm not excited about touching anything related to gambling at ALL.

Am I right in thinking this or should I treat it like just another client?

He has a site where he teaches people how to win at video keno and sells this info packet.

Porn and gambling. Everything I have read and heard is geared towards sites like this NOT coming up in search engines.

Thoughts?

Thanks and have an AWESOME week!

It's an interesting dilemma. I think that the gambling industry has a much less negative connotation than the porn industry does. After all they show poker on ESPN. I think that SEO for the space can be done well. Because he is selling information about gambling & not neccessarily promoting a site to go and lose all your money, I would treat him just like every other client & take advantage of the exposure. That's my 2 cents though, only work with clients you wouldn't be ashamed to tell others about.

Thanks,
