I do that sort of thing in my newsletter.
Sci fi does remove negative balances, so no need to walk out on them.
I saw your homepage and think that’s a great approach to leveraging that player’s win to your advantage. Great work!
Yay!
Aww, yer too kind.
Hamptons shoulda done this when the Pirate won his million.
Guess I have to change my ad about the winner.
They stuck around and lost it all yesterday.Now my account is positive with Sci-Fi
That was a quick turn-around.
I’m still learning this marketing thing.
And you won’t ever stop LOL!
One thing you might want to try…if you view your page source you have a ton of luckyvilla code that shows before any content.
If you can, shift the main content…”Imagine playing all your favorite Online Casino Games…” so it shows pretty near the top of the source, or as close as you can, this will help you in the SE’s.
What I am getting at is spiders look at your page and if they have to wade through too much code before finding the meaty bits that are keyword optimised then this can mean all the difference between page 1 and page 10.
Thanks, Dean.I could easily get rid of the lucky villa b.s. I think I’ll take your suggestion and do that, see what happens.
My code format sucks – since it’s css and div’s, rather than tabled, I can’t find a way to get the body anywhere but at the bottom, after both the left and right side-bars. :p
But, for some reason, google still loves me and i’m page 1 for all the terms I’ve tried for, and far more that I haven’t. (same old story with the SE’s – you get lucky and wish you knew what it was that did it)
However, I’m not doing so well with some other search engines, and maybe the lucky villa code thing – having my main content – coming so far down in the heap, is one reason.
There must be a way to reformat it….I’m going to work on that one.
Again, thanks for the tip. I’m always very open to suggestions and critiques :bigsmile:
There is a way to format a table so the content appears first:
& nbsp; main content here menu items The non breaking space (& nbsp) causes the “main content” here to display first before the menu items. Copy and paste into a test page then view source, left a border there so you can see how it works.
I wouldn’t pop all your page content in it though as having it all in one huge table will slow loading considerably, just your meaty stuff!
The code didn’t display properly so remove the space in “& nbsp” and it should work a treat.
hehe
That’s some sneaky html, but very cool.
I’ll use that on my other page, which is tabled. http://www.pokerbaron.com in case you’re interested. I haven’t finished it, but just think of the possibilities with the content coming first. Heck, it’d even save scroll time when adding content.
I don’t use tables on casinogeek, tho – except where I really have to because div’s won’t do the trick for positioning.
Which is why my columns on that site don’t end in the same place (there’s java script which will do that, but I don’t want to put any more script in than I have to), and why it’s such an amateurish looking site. (well, I can’t blame that on css and html, it’s me)
I’m wondering if some absolute positioning can pull the body up. I bet it could.
There isn’t a day that goes by in this business that you don’t learn something new – I can’t imagine doing anything else for a living!

I only looked briefly at your CSS, and I don’t know for sure that it can be accomplished with relative positioning, but there should be a way to make your main body text be the first thing in your HTML.
I use absolute positioning to do this trick at http://www.slotcharts.com
The CSS is at http://www.slotcharts.com/main.cssI learned a lot from this book:
HTML Utopia: Designing without TablesWarning: Affiliate Link!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0957921829/theblackjacbasicBy the way, CasinoGeek.net is a very attractive layout. Nice work!
Great advice, BlackjackInfo.
I’m ashamed to admit that I actually own the book you mentioned; “HTML Utopia: Designing Without Tables using CSS”.
Ha Ha – I haven’t gotten far enough into it. So far it seems like an excellent book.Another book I have from http://www.sitepoint.com is about Php, MySql, etc, but my daughter “borrowed it”. :p
I tried the absolute positioning, and it worked well for the left side bar and the body, but the body wants to cover up the right side bar. I’ll have to troubleshoot that detail.
Thanks very much!

I remember struggling with my CSS to get it to work right. It’s frustrating because some things that seem like they should work do not. Just keep trying variations. You’ll find one that does the trick. Good luck!
Oops, I just read your message again, and see that your problem is the right menu. I don’t have a right menu on SlotCharts, and I know that a three column format is much more difficult than a two column one via CSS.
So, I’ll hedge on my previous advice. It might be possible, and then again, it might not.
Here’s a page that talks about the issues. However, I seem to recall there’s still something difficult. Maybe it has to do with having a header at the top.
Anywhere, here’s a reference:

Thanks so much, BlackjackInfo, It’s so nice of you to take your time to help me.
Same to you, Dean.Yeah, it’s a pain to get things working right – and then, when it looks perfect, and you start up mozilla or netscape and fall outta your chair when you see how they interpret your efforts.
I’ll check out that link. There’s a forum I’ve been neglecting at sitepoint.com, too. Maybe I’ll ask around in there.
OMG!!
Ken, I read that link you sent me and tried out their tips.
And it works! With three columns!Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!
