    Your discipline article is very good. http://www.covertcasino.co.uk/discipline/
    I would highly consider to make about 5-20 more of these, then begin SEO methods. Consider more advertising and also post a review request here at DP, this may help overall

    I am using no deposit bankroll as my phrase as in google keyword search tool its sort after and not highly competitive, however i am using it in my signature, does my signature have to be exactly that phrase or just contain it.

    Do you like the other amounts of content, most casino sights are banner farms with no content, i am trying to offer something here, my e zine articles are not even in yahoo links yet.

    Your whole site/strategy isnt solid. It seems you didnt do solid research, and dont use english as a first language. Get help with a more specific casino site outline and seek guidance of others before you redesign and start over.

    THEN
    and
    ONLY THEN work on getting traffic. Why bust your ass to work for a site that is backwards..?

    I decided to check back to see if you've made any changes. I am pleasantly surprised that you're making efforts to tell people what your website is about. Just in those few changes you made significant progress in my opinion. The only thing I'm still not sure about is "1. DOWNLOAD CASINO AND BONUSES"

    Some questions running through my head are: Am I downloading casino software to run my own casino? What exactly am I downloading? I think that point needs to be a little clearer.

    I would also try to put this in a video format or maybe a graphical format so people physically see what your site does for them. For example, I would create graphical representation of "downloading something to a computer" then an arrow in a circular pattern going to "learn how we make money at poker" then another arrow pointing to "Go play in online casino's and make money doing it!" Make sense?

    I've just checked 'no deposit bankroll' in adwords external keyword tool - as an exact match - (and you must ALWAYS use exact match - this is an adwords tool - it uses the type of match that you would pay for as ana adwords advertiser) - it gets only 390 searches globally a month. According to the most recent research the no1 spot in organic search gets you around 30% of potential traffic. So, that's 117 visitors a month.
    Thta's what you've been aiming for - you've been trying to get less than 4 visitors a day - Go back to first principles and do some proper research on keywords, potential traffic and where your target audience is.

    He's right your anchor text really doesnt correspond with what your website is targetted for.

    James-Covert I took a look at your site and also did some quick keyword research. To me it looks like your niche is "how to beat casinos". That is the essence of your website material... strategies and discipline to "beat the casino". Those are the search terms I believe you should target. Best term is "beat the casino" then "how to beat the casino". then "beat online casinos". Altogether there are a couple of thousand searches a month (Google Numbers) so it's a smallish number but very targetable with low strength of competition.

    If I was doing your site I'd have index page title "beat the casino" then go after other terms.. next page title "beat online casinos with discipline" next page "how to beat the casino with these hot strategies". Further pages for long-tailed terms with title like "beat slot machines" Hope you see what I'm getting at - they're just suggestions. Anyway try your keyword research again including "beat" and you'll see some ideas.

    Please don't be offended but you really need to engage people with your text - I'd suggest you get help. I'm sure you could get help cheaply at vworker.com or even fiverr.com where just 5 bucks might get a rewrite.

    For the best shot at good ranking I'd select a domain name with those words beat casino because google LOVES keyword rich domain names.

    Good luck - don't give up.

    @james-covert ,it usually takes 2 weeks-3 months before articles are completely indexed. Be patient. I suggests you join online gaming forum sites targeted to your niche. :cool:
