A lot more than you think at the start – as no-one wants to come and play in a ghost town. So you’ve gotta visit it every day – and reply to stuff and also generate new threads.

After a while when you’ve got a good member base it gets a lot easier – but there can still be a bit of moderating to do.

Overall I’d say half an hour a day should do it … but it need to be everyday (from someone).

Ignore your forum for a weke at the start – and you’ll lose peoples interst fast.

OK Thanks for the info, hmm maybe I’ll wait a while then, definitely something I want to do eventually but I’m so busy with other things at the moment.

Cripe it seems like a half hour 5 times a day over here lol..

Notice the majority of furom users are not the big depositing type but its good to have a way for people to communicate with you.

That is correct players feel more secure if they come to trust that there is someone who will step in for them if there is any sort of issue, they also trust you to send them to decent casinos.

Forum members are awesome, I have met many great people from our forum and I feel responsible for each and every member we have, I am always there to make sure they are not being cheated or taken advantage of and they all know this so they trust in us. Like you said they may not be big depositors but they are long term happy players, not the deposit once and go type.

Next I will be approaching webber for some help. The question why does the yahoo bot return a 304 when visiting my site. Only my front page indexed for over the past two years? with no serps. I will explain in greater detail.

No idea why only your front page is in the Yahoo index. Your site is showing 18 pages in Google and your links all look proper. Only thing I can suggest is checking out sitemaps.org, apparently Yahoo and Google are both going to be using this standard. Not sure if it has happened yet, but sitemaps seem to work with Google pretty well.

As for 2006, we had a strong year, revenue actually went up after the gambling prohibition thing. Mostly thanks to some good sportsbook positions in Yahoo though. Would have been even better without the snafu.

Thank you webber for your response. When I first started the site I threw in a unix based code. I realized soon after it was just the wrong thing to do and removed it and resubmitted.

Don’t really want to elaborate but would you consider having a look. As TheGooner suggested I may be keyword stacking.

thanks

The keyword density for the term “gambling” might be a little high (8.42%), but I wouldn’t think that would prevent your other pages from being indexed. If you have re-submitted your site to Yahoo recently, that might have done it. It’s better if you don’t submit your sites at all, and let them find your changes naturally.

Otherwise, I’m not seeing an obvious problem on the front-end or in the source code. Everything is pretty clean and the way search engines like it.

Greek, in my review of that portion what I meant there is that the whole paragraph is obviously designed to impress search engines by matching your target keywords – rather than being informative to visitors.

The use of the language in that top paragraph is NOT NATURAL and certainly does nothing to greet visitors or explain what your site offers. If you want to keep it there then try harder to make it useful to humans too.

This is your prime real estate to make an immediate impression on the humans that visit and instead you’ve dedicated it to the search engines. Great for search engines – but it’s not going to help conversions is it?

Hey Gooner I couldn’t help noticing you are a senior beer member, must be nice. Seriously you gave me a really excellent review. True I seo-d the site a little too much and must try and be a little more honest. I am in the process of redoing the top paragraph and a few other things. I resized the banner already added some watermarks etc.. Doing good seo is is one thing but if it doesn’t convert what’s the point? Must strike a balance between the two.

Webber thank you, I will try and cut back on the keyword density, perhaps try a different sitemap the one you suggested.

I really needed this sort of response.
