Lost in the Shuffle

I run a couple of different poker related websites. Since 2003, the internet has been absolutely flooded with various different poker websites. Basically, anyone with a loose knowledge of poker thinks that they can run a poker website.

Unfortunately, most of the websites will never been seen by the average poker player or poker fan. The reason is because the site has been poorly optimized for SEO. Many website designers that run a site as a hobby do not have the proper SEO training needed to make sure their site will get to the top of a search engine.

What winds up happening in the case of most websites is that they purchase an SEO package from a web design company, or they wind up giving up on their site. Some people will take the time to learn how to properly design their site, but it winds up costing them a lot of time and money.

Fortunately, I don’t have to worry as much about SEO. I am primarily a content writer and with a few exceptions, most of my content will stand on its own. Any tweaking is usually done by the head webmaster. That’s fine by me as I would much rather focus on creating quality content.
