How to Optimize a Page for Search Engines

This article is from Wordtracker and talks about writing a page that ranks for 10,000 keyword phrases.

To be fair, that particular page on that particular site isn't about poker, but the principle translates into any web industry.

"Hot Guys," "Sexy Males," there were a lot of ways that people could have found that page, Randy.

The title says it all. Is it really worth my time to rank for this keyword?

I dont think any SE rakeback traffic is particularly great, certainly not worth the money it takes to get there.

My main rb site still ranks for all the major terms and i have a lot of other niche sites that rank in the top 3 for particular rooms. Income on those is tbh rubbish.

'poker room rakeback' is far more worthwhile than just 'rakeback'.

+1

The only organic cherry picking is in top 3 ranks for "poker site rakeback" like "full tilt rakeback" etc and even then it isn't that much that I've seen though I never held top three for FTP or anything.

Being lower than top 3 you might as well be on page 10. That said - organic rakeback money is still out there to be made imo, and that's in exposing rakeback to poker players already searching for something else related to poker. Turning that light on in a players mind who is already playing a lot is something that can get them excited to signup and start playing.

This is my personal opinion anyways, basically +1 to lep and tony.

MJ, RR, etc all have it right. There is MUCH easier ways to make money @ Rakeback that targeting big KW's like Poker Rakeback, Rakeback, etc - So much low hanging fruit, its almost silly to spend time and money going after those terms.

You don't see many affiliates going after terms like "Poker", Online Poker etc for the same reason. Much easier ways to make money. By having a ton of content, which will get you a ton of LT searches, you will be able to identify numerous kw's that bring traffic, and where there is traffic, you have the opportunity to make money.
