please i need some advise

Bumping this for our SEO mods…

Hi Bonus Paradise. Those are some very good questions. After talking to a few other webmasters that dropped out of the SERPS earlier this week there are a few things I would keep an eye on, and these are a few of them…

about doing some redirects

I have now my forum
and here i have made a room with casino reviews which link to the reviews on my main page
please have a look
http://www.bonusparadise.com/forum/online-casino-reviews/

and then there in the threads I have a link redirects to the review on my main site ,
http://www.bonusparadise.com/forum/online-casino-reviews/893-club-world-casinos-top-rtg-casinos.html
like … “Read more about Club World Casinos – Read our Casino Review”
that should be ok to do, yes?

Yes, those redirects that take you to a review page with relevant content about that specific casino are excellent. I like the whole idea with the forums you got going, very nice. ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

then I have 1 more question
I would like to set up other rooms there in my Casino Area
like Micro casinos, rival casinos etc.
and I have the option to redirect direct the title of this room fronts to
the pages on my main site like bonusparadise.com/rival-casinos.php
so there would be nothing in this room, if anyone click on it he gets redirected.

I would like to know if this would be ok for the SEs or if they dont like this.

I personally still use a simple PHP redirect script on my sites and I don’t see any problems…. yet. What I think in the future search engines will be looking for are more 301 redirects in general. The spiders can and do follow the links which is good, but I would not want to have to many of them, content rich web pages that then redirect the player are more efficient. IMO…down the road the simple meta refresh tag for redirects that a lot of affiliates use, might penalize them. What I would suggest if you do use these types of redirects, is optimizing each redirect page individually. Tag the title and meta description with keywords related to the site you are redirecting the user too.

Hope is helps a bit. If I didn’t answer your question completely, please feel free to PM me…

I don’t think the cloaking the links really makes an impact either way. I have sites that rank just fine with affiliate links and sites that rank fine with the php redirects. I think it’s more of a conversions thing with the links, ie some people don’t want anyone to make a commission off of them so they avoid links that aren’t direct to the poker or casino site… hence the need to cloak the links.

First of all I would like to say that I really like your new layout ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />
Regarding redirecting it’s not a problem for SEO (I also use redirecting), it’s only important that you have unique urls with unique content, there mustn’t be duplicate content with different urls.

Many thanks guys
