Google Analytics
Google Analytics
One of two site statistic and visitor tracking software applications we feature on these pages, Google Analytics is pretty much a must to have for all web sites.
Providing a wealth of information concerning your visitors, Google Analytics can be configured so you can set up individual campaigns.
As well as being able to view historical statistics, Google Analytics also shows data recorded in real time. So you are able to see who is on your site at that very instance.
The account you use to access Analytics is also used to access Google Webmaster Tools and as such both Analytics and WMT can be linked together. Thus providing you with even more detailed information.
Google Webmaster Tools
Google Webmaster Tools
Not trying to teach a Grandmother to suck eggs, but as I hope most if not all of you are aware, Google provides tools for webmasters. Called Webmaster Tools.
Referred to as Google Webmaster Tools, this suite of tools and utilities is a must for all webmasters and their site or sites.
Google Webmaster Tools allows webmasters to first and foremost see any notifications from google concerning their site. Including any manual spam actions.
WMT also allows you to submit individual pages to google, change the geo target area and see the current and historical crawl rate of ‘Google Bot’ on their site.
Furthermore WMT also provides the ability to link up with your Google Analytics account for your site, thus providing even more detailed information for analysis.
Link Research Tools
Link Research Tools
Link Research Tools is one of the most expensive products and tools which we feature on these pages, but the price is well worth paying.
We don’t state this glibly, no, Link Research Tools has pretty much saved EasyPlay.Vegas from a very damaging Negative SEO Attack.
Indeed we could go as far to say that LRT is the equivalent of ‘The A Team‘ when it comes to tackling a ‘Negative SEO’ attack.
If you have ever been hit by the dreaded ‘Penguin’ algorithm, then Link Research Tools is the place to turn to for help.
Yes it is costly, but boy does it work. Developed by renowned SEO Christopher Cemper, a leader and dare we say it, a pioneer in the SEO Community. His LRT product is in our opinion worthy of being called ‘Different Class!”
Majestic SEO
Majestic SEO
Majestic SEO is a must have piece of software if you are indeed serious in getting your site to rank, in what is one of the hardest spaces in SEO that is iGaming.
Backlinks, internal linking and your overall linking strategy is still very much a crucial part of ranking, certainly as far as the ‘God’ of search engines that is Google is concerned.
Majestic SEO is used by pretty much all the so called ‘Expert’ iGaming SEO’s and this is no pure coincidence.
But like everything, you get what you pay for. Whereby a monthly outlay on Majestic SEO should seriously be factored into your ongoing costs to run a successful affiliate portal. Whether you are working in iGaming or indeed another industry.
If you want organic traffic, then the investment in Majestic SEO should be a very serious consideration.
Moz
Moz
Moz is an extremely well used SEO suite of software tools and utilities developed by a legend in the SEO Community, Seattle based Rand Fishkin.
I first came across Rand back in 2004 on the forums on SEO Chat where he was a moderator and very respected member.
Shortly afterwards, Moz was born with the company having been incorporated in the same year. Moz provides in-depth analytical software, with link analysis forming a great part of what the product does.
Rand Fishkin is highly regarded among SEOs across all industries and his Moz software is used by thousands of SEOs and site owners.
Rightlander
Rightlander
Knowing that your affiliate links are active and still working is so important for webmasters and this is where Rightlander comes into it’s own.
Developed by award winning affiliate Ian Sims who also moderates on the Casinomeister Forum. Simmo as he is known, has come up with a quality tool in the form of Rightlander.
It’s all very well having the most in-depth casino bonus comparison guide out of all the portals on the internet.
But if your affiliate links are broken, then you will be losing out, potentially big time. This is where Rightlander comes into it’s own and solves this problem for you.
SEMrush
SEMrush
SEMrush is in a nutshell an all in one web based utility and suite of tools to keep an eye on your on page and off page SEO.
Here at EasyPlay.Vegas we have tried all the main SEO utility suites, but we always come back to SEMrush.
Not only does SEMrush provides indepth ranking reports, but it also keeps an eye on your backlink profile. Enabling you to run numerous reports on not only your own site or sites, but also on your competitors sites as well.
With real time live data, if you are a serious webmaster you cannot afford to be without SEMrush.
TDN – The Domain Name
TDN – The Domain Name
If you are now of the view that links are no longer regarded by the likes of Google as the ‘Holy Grail’ of SEO, then please think again.
Yes Google has come out with updates to their algorithm to stop SEO’s and webmasters from ‘gaming’ the serps when it comes to backlinks. But ladies and gentlemen, links are still the number one factor taken into consideration when it comes to ranking your site in Google.
Everyone knows acquiring decent natural relevant links can be hard, but this is where TDN – The Domain Name comes in.
We take a look at what TDN actually does and provides you with, but not only that, we speak with Jason Duke one of it’s creators and also a highly regarded iGaming SEO in his own right.
TDN – The Domain Name
