    interesting stuff

  3. Snoopy says:

    This sounds like the next gtld disaster following on the heels of vacation.rentals (ranking now down to 18th) and home.loans (Not in the top 100 even).

    This whole model of trying to fool Google for a while by promoting that you paid Donuts 500k for a domain is boneheaded.

    1. Magnus says:

      Rankings will always be rankings, which are based on several parameters and not just only the domain name.

      Even if those websites have been ranking down on their “main keyword” (what are their domain name). They are still doing great on other long tail keywords. I don’t believe they would have ranked up on those long tails this quick if they had another random domain name.

      I think that proves to everyone that their domain name and the nTLD has relevance to the topics they try to rank for. And in my opinion, what they need to do, is to continue to improve their SEO so they eventually rank up on their main keyword.

      We are not in any way trying to fool Google. We are doing SEO.

      One day soon, we will prove that you are wrong Snoopy ;).

      Wish you a good day!

    Fantastic interview

    I know nothing about seo lol

    But I started buying gtlds back in

    January 2014

    For reg fee

    But I knew a few years ago that Google produces search results for the keywords typed in Google search engine irrespective of which way round the keywords are typed

    I have some world class gtlds just because I bought on the fly Eg had an idea and bought the Gtld based on an idea etc and was prepared to take a punt on the domain without caring whether I lost the £20 reg fee and just done a very basic seo test and I think that gtlds work if you have limited content on the page or are great with no content but use the keyword Gtld as a redirect to redirect organic seo traffic in to an existing website that may be a brand etc

    But where the online casino Gtld wins is because it gives its owners multiple options

    But where they will win big is because they have made the keywords a brand so it doesn’t matter whether Google changes from keywords to brands Or back from brands to keywords or hyphens

    Online. Casino is a win win win and will get all the traffic

    Because current trend in the uk is to have hyphens

    But a domain name with a hyphen that separates the keywords has to have a. Com Or Cctld etc

    But the dot in a Gtld does not have to have a. Com Or Cctld as it uses a kgoogle ranking keyword as it’s extension so the dot acts as a hyphen but is a shorter website address and ranks significantly better than a. Com

  7. Data Glasses says:

    Best Seo = Google Adsense, cheers

  8. Great show as always!!!

    Good Luck with your Online Casino project.

    I think casino software is where the big money is at.

    I know a guy making over a million dollars in profit per week. He makes and installs casino gaming software and receives a percentage per casino machine.

  9. Johan says:

    I wonder for the future of GTLD’s with exact match or the shorter version. The .casino is just the extension like .com.

    Option 1. OnlineCasino.casino

    Option 2: Online.Casino

    Option 2 is “online” but how much weight does google give to the extension it self? Web surfers are not typing for “online” but for “online casino.”

    Wonder if Google gives preference to the shorter version in SEO. The true test is what web surfers type-in in the web address bar. And not speaking of when you have already built up a brand. But true type-in traffic like with premium dotcom domain names that get type-in traffic.

    Any opinions?

    1. Magnus says:

      I think that Google already understands that .casino domains are casino related. So I believe Google will prefer the shorter version (online.casino) since the more extended version would be repetitive (onlinecasino.casino) and not as “clear” as the short one.

      That’s the benefit of the new TLDs since most of them are already in a niche and makes it clear for Google and the users what sites are about.
