Thread: Online Betting - search term

Hi this is just general question on your thoughts. If you were getting traffic from a search term "online betting",

what are the surfers after ?

i would assume send them to a sportsbook.

what else might they be after ?

sportsbook/casino ?
casino only ?
poker room ?

In my experience, it is sports.

I agree with sports...

They might be looking for an online beating, if they lack proper spelling skills.

Besides sports, they could be looking to bet against other people at various things, like my personal favourite, the online coin toss, but more likely a p2p type site.

Possibly laws regarding the legality of online betting

A handicapping site which offers picks on various games

Betting on political or other events

Horse/dog racing sites only

Reviews or scam warnings

Famous gamblers

Books about online betting/gambling systems

Pete Rose

They are what I call "lookieloos".

They need to be given easy, distinct choices so they can go and do what they are really interested in.

Anyway you limit general terms like that in ways of selection, you throw away traffic.

Sports would be the prevalent choice I bet, but there will be all sorts of folks mixed in.

I hate seeing good traffic wasted.

Or if they've just been beaten, and would like to try it again. That will also explain the typo search term "pick my ass online."
