I am new at this forum and I don´t know if here is the right thread for my post.
I just want to get some feedback from you concerning my new website xxxhighclassonlinecasino.com. At the moment the site is not ranked well at the search engine. Mybe you can give me a feedback of my site?

Thank you.

It's a nice theme, I think I have seen it before though.

It is a Wordpress site, so that is a GREAT thing IMO. I have implemented plugins on my WP sites that help out tremendously for the search engines:

1. Headspace - SEO Plugin (awesome)
2. MBP Ping Optimizer - Pinging the search engines is HUGE. WP does this natively, but MBP is better and will allow you to ping posts that are scheduled. I, personally, will create 10 pages at once and schedule them for posting so that I don't have to touch a site daily. With MBP, it will make sure those pages are 'pinged' when posted.


I think those are the 2 biggest things you can do with your website. The 3rd thing is post, post post. When I had the 'Mentoring' section of AGD open - I would tell the people in the program to post on a schedule.. Example: Week 1, post 2 times per day. Week 2, Post 3 times per day, Week 3, post once per day, Week 4, Post 1.5-3 times per day sporadically. Rinse and repeat until you are being indexed within minutes of your posts.

Also - you may want to target easier keywords to start than 'Best USA Online Casinos' Up to you on your main page.. maybe look for a less targeted set of keywords to start and then go back to that one at a later date.

That's a very professional looking site. I'm impressed. Being a WP site, make sure you have a few security plugins installed. You'd be surprised at the number of people who will try to hack into your site on a regular basis. I recommend the following WP plugins:

1. Limit Login Attempts
2. Secure WordPress
3. Wordpress Firewall 2
4. WP Security Scan
5. Theme Authenticity Checker (TAC)
6. BulletProof Security

I definitely agree with LandofOz. I've got a couple of WordPress sites, and I usually get a couple of hack attempts each day. Limit Login Attempts is absolutely essential if you have a WordPress site.

Thank you. I will give the tool a try.

A couple of observations that may be a little blunt.

Get a fluent English speaker to proofread your text because it is obvious that whoever wrote it isn't the strongest English speaker.

The text reads strangely because of the poor English, and also because you are trying to cram keyword phrases in there. In fact I bet I can pick the phrases you are going for just by reading it. For example, I'm betting on the stuff I have bolded here...

The different of this page to other gambling pages is, that you can write your own review of the USA online casinos and poker sites. Just visit the review pages of the best USA online casinos and poker sites and make your comment and rating. So other players can see your opinions and it’s easier to choose a US players accepted casinos.

This is 10 year old SEO. All search engines are becoming smarter than that. Besides that if it doesn't read naturally to an actual human being (which is the target of the site) then your conversion rate will suffer.

Lastly, it looks similar to the last 500 casino affiliate sites I have seen. I don't mean the template you used, but the layout, structure, and information provided. I have seen it all before, so I would be unlikely to return to your site as there is nothing memorable or unique about it. Admittedly not many players would have seen as many affiliate sites as me. However in the long run, search engines are going to get better and better at filtering out and demoting these sorts of sites as we have seen with all the bitching and moaning on affiliate forums after the recent Google updates. You need to up your game if you are going to be successful in the long run.

Hi Tom,

I really do like your site, I think it looks very professional and classy. I think the black layout gives it that feel.

I do agree with Vladi about the english not being the best, I found a couple of sentences that could be rephrased a bit. The good thing about that is that its an easy fix.

I noticed that it said "What makes us different from other sites, is you can share a review and comment on the USA online casino and poker sites." I couldn't find where people can leave those reviews.

Other than that it looks clean and easy to navigate.

If you are ever interested in working with Non US Live Dealer Casinos, we would love to work with you. Best of luck to you and take care!

i agree with this, hits thenail on the head, also you have the standard site with options on main page like, the initial info about several casinos on a portfolio manner, i find it more productive to put you latest post on home page, even using only the 150 first words they sound more natural, trying to fit the text to the keywords sucks on readability and you should focus on getting answers to users, if you try to serve yourself you will pail more often on converting serious players. my point is it looks like you main page is only there to offer those options you want to push instead offering variety.
