Is it important to edit the page on more than one section?
For instance, we have a page with a news(top) and a gambling stories(middle) section. Would it be better for us to edit the news section one day and the Gambling stories the other day?
I’m looking forward to your thoughts on this!
javascript is only a valid choice when you are running static (html) pages.
edit: this should get u started

I am sure php has inbuilt support for this kind of thing, check the php documentation if your server is running php…
hope this was useful.

Do you have an example of this type of script, I tried to look on the web but couldn’t really find anything, well nothing that was free anyway
you want a serverside script that parses the RSS feed, and puts the output into your markup directly.

I thought that rss feeds were invisible to crawlers or am I doing something dumb. Basically I’m using a javascript to pull the rss feed to my site but when I look at the source of the page I only see the javscript, not the content. Is there some other way of doing it?
I had a look at your website quickly and if you allow me to make a few suggestions:
1) Internal Linking:
when an SE crawler comes around the internal linking is what takes them around on your website. There is lots of information if you google for SEO Internal Linking.
a) Your main menu on the left is currently built up from images, which Google bots dont chew. Rather have text links sitting on top of a button-like image. You get the same look as the current one, except Google will read them and take them home. This is same kind of menu structure here on CAP site if you look at the top of this page. They menu items look like green buttons, but they are actually text.
b) the more internal links you have on your pages, the crawler can go around easier and there is more chance to index more content. Another ‘trick’ is to include text link structure at the bottom of your pages. Basically you can have a footer include file where you keep links pointing to different parts of your website. As an example lets have a look at the bottom of this page on the CAP website. Each page at the bottom has a collection of links. This means that no matter where the SE crawler is, it can access any part of your site easily. Also if people drop on a 3rd level page from a search result, they can see quickly more links pointing to the rest of the site, which means they might spend more time on the site.
2) Protecting Affiliate links
The affiliate links on your site are all clearly visible, which has a few backdraws. The most important is that people can copy the link, delete your affiliate details and with that you lose the tracking and potential income source. There are different methods for protecting your affiliate links, the best if you research them on google and decide which one suits you the best.
The method i use and i think is the simplest is to modify your .htaccess file to redirect you to the affiliate sites.
For example your current Vegas Red link looks like this: http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&member=cashgold&profile=ogpvr
With an htaccess redirect it could look like this: http://www.onlinegamblingpal.com/partners/vegasred/
You can see that it much more friendly and it also points internally, so the user doesnt know that she will be taken away to an external site.
To achieve this result you only have to include into your htaccess file:
Redirect 301 /partners/vegasred/ http://banner.vegasred.com/cgi-bin/redir.cgi?id=N&member=cashgold&profile=ogpvr
You would have a line like this for each affiliate program in the htaccess file.
New and updated content on key pages is important. Additional content pages are also important.
How frequently should each be updated/added?
Another thing that may help is naming your folders and files according to your keywords..
Eg
http://www.yourdomain.com/casino/casino-bonus.htm
OR
http://www.yourdomain.com/poker/poker-freeroll-tournament.htm
i suggest ditching the redundant .html bit, and using something like :
http://www.yourdomain.com/casino/casino-bonus/ instead. While naming directories like this can be of benefit, if you do this for your whole directory hierarchy e.g. yourdomain.com/casino/bonuses/microgamingbonuses/ your url is quite SEO unfriendly… so use with caution and always think about keeping your url’s short and sweet..
