Being top 3 in Google on "Casino" - worth?

**benflux** · 10-02-04

Ok, just thought I'd put this question out:

What do you think the financial value of being top 3 on "casino" in Google US would be to an affiliate?

TIA

Ben.

This was discussed months ago in the old forums. I think the general consensus was thousands at least. Probably tens of thousands, especially with residuals.

Call me nosey but what makes you ask Ben?

I'm building a casino related site at the moment also.

It won't be long before I'm in the top 3

well, if you are lucky, I'll give you number 3 once i claim 1 and 2 with CasinoGB.

best wishes

Leslie

See you at the top!

Anyone who gets number 3,2 or 1 email me and I will make you a very nice offer.

**simoneaton** · 10-02-04

also 'online casino' and 'online casino guide' keywords would be nice.

I would say being in top 3 for casino would make you a millionaire if you could maintain position for 6 months. Easily. Now that would be annoying if you got 50% reversals..

Minimum USD $100k per month in commissions and advertising revenue. Possibly $200k per month. Possibly more depending on what type of site you had, conversion rates etc.

**tshirtsuntan** · 11-02-04

Seriously,

I think I'll make that a long term goal.

Top 3 positioning for the term "online casino" in 6 months for all major search engines.

How does that sound?

I'm going to start as soon as the sites launched.

Maybe I should start my own thread to update my progress?

tshirtsuntan I wish you luck!
To get there your gonna need hard (amd I mean major HARD work)!!!
The rewards would no doubt pay for themselves loads of times over but I wouldn't be placing any money (geddit

) on you getting there in the next 6 months!!!

Saying that, good luck and I hope you can prove me wrong

Cheers
Wardy

Sounds like a great idea, I would follow with interest. As Wardy says, you will need to work hard, why don't you add extra interest and put something into Betfair ( I have a link

) and we could all take a slice of the action!!!!

Sounds like a challenge

I'm definitely up for it!

Maybe I should speak to the Mods about making a sticky thread in the google forum or something so I can post what I'm doing on a day to day basis.

I'm already assimilating a wealth of knowledge on SEO etc. so it would be a great learning experience for everyone if I posted exactly what I was doing when I was doing it.

Maybe I should see what odds betfair would give me on this?!

If you guys are genuinely up for doing this, and your prepared to push Jackpotjoy on your landing page, i'll incentivise you.

What would make it worth your while?

(Be sensible here)

**tshirtsuntan** · 11-02-04

Hi Pitboss,

Sounds like a great idea.

I must warn you though, you might have to upgrade your hosting to accomodate the floods of traffic!

Incentive wise, I have no idea.

Make an offer and we can work on it from there
