I wish you all the best for year 2009: health, love and a lot of luke when playing at Online Casinos !
By the way the contest is still running, at least until January 15.

Last 6 remaining days

Posted by admin on 12/09/2008
What a shame ! Just 6 days before the end of the Casinos Online contest, my page has lost 30 positions, so it does not rank high enough to qualify for the 2nd prize.

I take the lead

Posted by admin on 11/24/2008
Sounds like I had the right strategy to win this contest....except for the timing. The Isaetdavid winning page has disappeared from the first page of the SERPs and my own page has just entered on the first page, just 9 days too late for the first prize, but could win the second prize if it remains there until december 15.

And the winner is.....

...not me.. The ACF SEO Contest has been won by Isaetdavid with her page Casinos Online, but will be reconducted for an additional month until a second and a third pages get qualified. I'm currently in the second position but not yet within the first 100 results.

The meta Keywords

Posted by admin on 11/11/2008
That's funny how this meta element is still used by participants in this SEO contest: looking at other contestants pages, their meta keywords element are stuffed with words related to casinos online and other online gambling expressions. That's something that was working during the last century but today all serious SEOs have stopped using this tag: it does not provide any ranking advantage.

The Last 5 Days

Posted by admin on 11/11/2008
The Playonline page has disappeared from the SERPs, and Isa is back on the leading position, but my own page is now in second position. I'm not sure that I will be able to enter within the first 100 results before November, 15 but I really hope so. A second position would be great. The first position would be greater.

Change in the SERPs

Posted by admin on 11/05/2008
While the Casinos Online contest page by IsaetDavid has lead the contest for several weeks, a new Casinos Online challenger has taken the leadership just 10 days before the end of the contest, and may well be the next winner. Just wait and see, the next few days may become really interesting.

Online gambling in the United States: what may change with Obama?

Posted by admin on 10/27/2008
In 8 days, we will surely know who, between John McCain or , will shape the policy in the U.S for the next four to eight years. Both candidates have voiced support for a more detailed and researched study of the online casinos gambling industry, but online gamblers, who are also voter, would like to know whether or not the next president will support regulating the online casinos industry rather than the current ban. Rumors say that Obama is an avid poker player and his favor for poker could work in favor of online casinos poker. Many poker players hope to see at least online poker excluded from the current U.S. online casinos gambling ban, if he was elected. But on the other hand, during his campaign, Barack Obama has expressed concerns about the illegal activity that can flourish in the online casinos gambling industry, and that that issue is a specific concern about reintroducing internet gambling into the U.S. So wait and see, the next weeks or months should be interesting, and not only in the area of online gambling.

ACF Seo Contest

Posted by admin on 10/16/2008
is an SEO contest organized by ACF on search engine google.co.uk. The purpose of the contest is to get the best position possible in the search results of google.co.uk for a search on terms casinos online. It does not mean getting to the first position, but to a better position than other registered participants. To be eligible for a price, the page must at least appear among the first 100 positions

Start date

the contest started officialy on July the 15th, 2008. It was supposed to last until September the 15th, 2008, but as no participant was eligible (not within the fist 100 results), it has been delayed until October the 15th, and could be delayed again and again (November the 15th, December the 15th) until 3 participants get qualified and declared the winners. As a search request on casinos online returns around 9,990,000 results, it could well become a never ending challenge, unless the organizators decide to call it off.

Prices

Other rules:

All the participants start with the same template on a page belonging to domain seo.770.com, and only a few parts of the page can be customized. At the end of the casinos online contest, all the pages will remain the property of ACF. The contest is on, good luck to all.

How to know if you are a gambling addict?

Posted by admin on 10/27/2008
Gambling addiction is defined as a chronic inability to refrain from gambling to an extent that causes serious disruption to core life aspects such as career, health and family. A person is diagnosed as a probable pathological gambler if they agree with five or more of the following statements:
1. You have often gambled longer than you had planned.
2. You have often gambled until your last dollar was gone.
3. Thoughts of gambling have caused you to lose sleep.
4. You have used your income or savings to gamble while letting bills go unpaid.
5. You have made repeated, unsuccessful attempts to stop gambling.
6. You have broken the law or considered breaking the law to finance your gambling.
7. You have borrowed money to finance your gambling.
8. You have felt depressed or suicidal because of your gambling losses.
9. You have been remorseful after gambling.
10. You have gambled to get money to meet your financial obligations.

Compulsive gambling is recognized as an emotional illness: if you think that you are concerned by this problem (either yourself, a member of your family or a friend), you should seek assistance.

Several scientific studies have found a correlation between compulsive gambling and low evels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is also the case in other psychological troubles like obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression.

Best natural ways to increase serotonin level in the brain are bright light and physical exercise: a regular outdoor aerobic activity could be a great help to prevent gambling addiction.

Online Casinos Hit by the Credit Crunch

Posted by admin on 10/18/2008
Like most of the business, the Online Casino business is feeling the current credit crunch. While the number of new registered players and the number of deposits have not changed, the average deposit dropped by 30% since the beginning of the financial crisis. This lead several online casino operators to make changes in their bonus structure.

In the mean time, many gamblers are losing their credit cards, or banks have blocked them from making paiements with their credit cards on gambling sites. For this reason, online casinos are encouraging their customers to use alternative paiement systems, like Neteller, Click2Pay or MoneyBookers and give additional bonus for deposits made thru these means.

Another consequence of the Credit Crunch: Google had banned casinos (either online or inland) from its Adwords program: but since the financial crisis seems to affect its income, the Adwords policy has been updated to allow casinos into its program again, but with a restriction: advertizing casinos must have a license in the United Kingdom.
