How Would You SEO This?

[doovde]

Ok well I have started a few bingo blogs read my blog for more details. Anyway I am struggling to think of ways to seo the posts on these 2 blogs and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

The blogs are:

Bingo Love Lines - Follow Lucy's online bingo romance and love interests.

Mums of bingo - Karens' bingo mum blog a blog about online bingo.

All ideas welcome.

ok, for starters... I would use a title on the home page that actually has searches.

For bingolovelines.com it would be something like: Love to Play Bingo - My Online Bingo Blog

(or something similar, spice it up a bit). I haven't done any keyword research really on 'bingo love' or 'bingo lines' but that is what your title will be more likely to rank for right now and I doubt that gets any volume.

also from within each of the posts, you should be linking out to your sites with good descriptive anchor text (as well as other good related sites, imo).

for the 'mums' site it would get a title like

"Play Online Bingo with other Moms - Mums Bingo Blog

something descriptive about the site that also includes your keyphrases you want to rank for.

Thanks for the response Spry.

I will certainly be adding a lot of links out to my other bingo sites and other sites which i talk about in the blogs soon but I just wanted to get some content on their before trying to use them to make money.

I like your ideas about the blog titles. To be honest I didn't pay much attention to them when I did them as I'm not sure what I wanted them to rank for. My approach has been more of a try to get people interested in bingo to the blog and then anyone who fits with the niche might bookmark it.

I think I am going to try to drive some traffic from social bookmarking sites with more stuff about dating and mothering issues. Hopefully the traffic that also plays bingo might hand around.

What do you think?

Well I am a mother and not sure if you are a parent (mom/dad) but I know if I came across a blog after finding you in google for a search related to parenting I probably wouldnt stay very long seeing a bunch of ads targetting me towards bingo

I dont promote bingo but I have to say the stereotype that its a game for "old ladies" or for the female gender seems to me to be way off track here. Millions of people around the world play bingo daily.

Have you ever played in a real bingo hall. I have a few times and there are a number of men who play also..some in their early twenties...same goes for online. I tried that out a couple times to but didnt like it...anyway the people were a mix, although the player base was dominated by women.

Heres the thing. I think in order to promote bingo you need to play it. Its like poker. You cant build a poker site because you "heard" poker is going to make you money without ever playing a hand or even seeing a game. How would you know what to write. Same goes for playing slots, blackjack, and bingo.

To me bingo is all about the social aspect of the game, live and online. You need to capture that so if your going to blog than why not do some articles which relate to that. I wouldnt target mothers or use social bookmarking as your source of gaining traffic

Personally social bookmarking is a waste of time in a sense if you expect it to convert traffic. I stopped submitting for that purpose because our niche does not convert through that means. I dont think so anyway.

Anyway I just wanted to drop a note and try and get you to look at some of the more obvious areas of online bingo that atrract ALL players and not limited to one gender

Good Luck!

Thanks for the post. It's an interesting thing. I don't play online bingo but have considered often promoting it. As you said, I absolutely think I would have to start "playing" a little bit at least if I promoted it. Maybe this winter I'll dive into the bingo world. Great thoughts above - thanks!
