    I taught of creating an SEO company after this experience! I mean after I attended this SEO seminar hosted by one big SEO company. Bla Bla Bla....

    Bottom line.

    At the end of the seminar, one guy who is running an online poker site, offered to pay $15,000,000 to the SEO company if they took their website to the front page of Google, preferable the first 3 websites that show up for the keyword ONLINE POKER. I was amazed!

    How much would you pay for a website that ranks on the front page of Google for a keyword such as online Poker or online Gambling? or Internet Marketing or Forex

    wow, thats very interesting. and i thought porn and pharmacy was in high demand. did you mean $15 million? That seems hard to believe actually. Online Poker gets about 1000 daily searches on google. for 15 million i can get a site on page one as well but it may take one or two years.

    I am guessing it gets a lot more than that, I think a million plus a month. So if 5% of those searches convert to players and a player is worth say $50 then I can easily seeing the value at being 15 million. But it is the 'big 3' online poker rooms that dominate the first three and it would be very hard (and expensive) to crack them.

    wordtracker doesn't seem to be too accurate...
    I checked some of my keywords and I know I get far more Google organic search traffic per month for each one than they report is even searched.

    10 cents because Online poker is very competitive and most people are using Ultimate Bet or Full Tilt or Poker Stars, not really going to take market share from those guys.

    This could easily be done for 15 million. Really, you could do it for 1-2 million.

    if you think about how much money is made with online gambling you will notice that 15 mil is nothing for the big players....i bet the big rooms pay more then 15 per year prob. per month for advertising

    What a joke... And what if Google disappears or blocks your site for shady SEO practices? Or what if your competitor comes along and spend 30,000,000... Then you are on page 3 again and no results?

    What a big waste of 15,000,000.... Some people have no brain! Or it was just a bunch of bull...

    With 15,000,000 you can set up one phat azz affiliate system with a huge marketing outreach.... Or even TV ads... Print marketing.. PPC... Banner advertising.....

    give me 100K and I'll make your site on page 2 or 3.. 15 million is a waste of money.. That guy was either a show off or had no idea on search engine optimization.
