I have alredy done this job for http://www.onlinexcasinos.com

If you are interested, please you contact me and you tell me what is your monthly budget.

three words:
conflict of interests.

aside from that, good job.

Well I’ve just checked arkRed”>the site and it has a massive ‘Page Under Construction’ banner emblazoned across the homepage, with zero content. Sorry, but I can’t post a screenshot – I’m a bit dense! Won’t rank for much if Google caches it anytime soon.

This is such an amateurish mistake that I’d advise people to be very wary of this site owner offering out his services for cash. Sorry if I’m coming across as harsh – and I never ever like putting down someone else’s work, it’s just I wouldn’t trust this person near any site I had spent time on.

Just my two cents.

Clearly.

SEOers don’t generally have control of client sites and certainly won’t be taking them down. maybe the guy has moved hosting or is doing something big, either way he’s an authority site of sorts and will get reindexed and spidered pretty quick when his content goes back online.

saying you wouldn’t hire this guy in this thread due to site being down for maintenence or whatever is poor form. too much time on your hands perhaps..

Funny enough the site is now cached by Google and showing “page under construction” as the #10 result for “online casinos”. Not sure I would call it an authority site based on one ranking position. Generally authority sites are very large, several thousand pages and have a ton of traffic, more than the 519 visitors Compete is reporting for this site.

Not trying to be negative, just sayin’

Since you decided to call me out in 2 posts now, I guess I need to defend myself. First of all I don’t “talk rubbish”, I simply offer advice from a combination of my SEO experience and industry resources that I keep up with on a regular basis. Just my way of giving back to a community that has helped me out along the way.

Regarding Authority Sites…

The SEO world is one of the frontiers of the web and there is no standard definition of an Authority Site. Some SEO experts say it’s the amount of content on your website, others say it’s the strength of your hub and spoke link relationships and other’s simply say if you are ranked top 10 for a competitive keyword then you are an authority site.

Personally, I think the following definition sums it up best (not my definition BTW):
A measure of the quality (in the all-powerful opinion of the search engine company) of a given site, gauged by some combination of size, importance, relevance.

The site mentioned at the start of this post could be considered an authority site based on their backlink count and top 10 ranking for a competitive keyword, however there are other keywords they are targeting on sub-pages that are much less competitive and those pages aren’t in the top 100. The site also has 372 pages indexed in Google which makes it a mid-sized website. Compete reports that this site had 519 visitors last month. All-in-all I would say the website is well positioned for success, but not sure that it rises to the level of a true authority site.

Casino City is probably the best example of an authority site in this industry.
9,770 pages
143,000 backlinks
top 10 rankings all over the place
245,000 reported visitors last month

Sorry to have hijacked this post Webin, you’ve certainly done a good job with your website’s SEO.

If the site belongs to him, I wouldn’t hire him based on what is in front of me. That’s exactly what I said in my post and I stand by it.

If the site doesn’t belong to him and he had no control over the “Construction Sign”, I’d reconsider my stance. I know exactly how frustrating it can be for a client to unravel all the good work of an SEO.

And no offence taken by your little jibe…

Not more than 10 I suppose

Wow – I find this thread extremely amusing

My website is already in the top10 for “online casino” ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
