You are correct, in the long run age and popularity rule.
However, you need a path to get there and that is when you worry about SEO so you can grab visitors and become popular.
Very old and popular sites need no SEO, or very little of it.
This is what I was looking for! That makes sense. I also noticed that they use .gov search sites to link to theirselves as well which I suspect are their own as well. Seems to me they have been around a long time on the internet in other areas besides gambling and have used that to their advantage.
Who-ever owns this site is very knowledgable
I agree. And a long list of sites to draw quality links from I think as well.
Alright… I understand.
