I am a professional handicapper and am building a new website to sell my services online. In this day and age I see theres alot to having a successful website. I am in the beginning stages of writing the content on the homepage as well as the backend for those members who purchase picks from us. What I would like to know is this. From what I have read adwords are not accepted for gambling types of discussion. But why are there so many betting adsense clicks. The next question is how do you get on the first page of search engines without adwords. I have read alot about seo but am still highly confused where to go and what to do to make sure I am successful with the work I am putting into this. I am having the site built by a coder and a web designer although neither one of them know much on how to make the website get the traffic I need to be successful. What I want to know is how to make my site very popular and how to get it on the first page of search engines. Please help
 


I think in order to get your page to the first page of google's search results, you have to have a decent amount of traffic coming to it constantly. You could use stumble and other ways to promote the hell out of it...maybe get a RSS feed too or something.

could be wrong though...guys..correct me if i am.
 
A professional handicapper.... you make people handicapped as a profession?

Not sure you should advertise that, but I won't mess with you..
 
traffic has nothing to do with rankings..

Its not quite that simple otherwise you could just buy a bunch of clicks or PPC and get a high ranking. Its all the SEO stuff, onsite and offsite optimization....

You should try to get an SEO person involved as soon as possible to help with the site structure, keyword research, and copyrighting so you are not reinventing the wheel later.
 
I just did a search for "horse racing" and google turned up 8 AdWords results, a few of them blatantly related to gambling.

I think google is more concerned about online gambling and is more lenient on advertising of traditional offline stuff. You should at least try to get your ads up.

BTW, what's worse than gambling with AdWords? Isn't bidding on Adwords gambling?
 
I've found the best thing is to put a site up relatively fast without worrying if its perfect, and then start submitting it to the search engines and directories, add the site link to various forums and blogs, and finally write articles and submit them to digg, stumble, and technorati.

After you have started the submission process, then go back to the site and start to fine tune it once traffic comes in. If you're not getting any traffic theres no point in wasting time to fine tune it.
