I have just started a Matched betting forum.  As I know a few people were interested on here, I thought I would post it.

Link here http://mbdeals.co.uk

This will be changing to www.mbdeals.co.uk

Just waiting for the servers to update.

If you want to earn a bit of money then sign up and read the guides and free bet offers. (BTW the guides are not very good at the moment, just stolen from MSE)

I usually use MSE, but i find i missed a few offers because of rubbish posts, so I know use my forum to find all the latest offers from a RSS feed.

Cheers to Barry_Scott, he helped me with a few problems.

It finally updated, so just need to goto www.mbdeals.co.uk at the moment that rediirects to the old sub domain, sorting this out, when I know how.

If any one knows much about this, then let me know.

I think I have finally cracked it, this isn't just a shamless bump :)

If anyone wants to sign up, then please do so, ask adivice ect...

I can finally get on so something must have worked. Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to get going with this again mind :(

Ah well, nice easy money if you have some time.  It was a stupid mistake on my part, but I will learn from it.

Yeah I made loads of money from it last year. I have 'working capital' issues at the moment though (my fuck cunt of an employer has pillaged a lot of my expected salary).

Yeah it does require a bit of money to get going.  These offers will be around for quite a while, so no rush!

Added the site to google a few days ago, anyone got any experiences how long it can take to show up? 

depends what you mean by "added it to google". Could be anything from a week to a few months.

If I do a search for mbdeals.co.uk it doesn't come up, I have a few links from here and other forums, but not the actual site.

I thought it would be a bit quicker than that, oh well.

Best way to do it, especially if you have a site with its own rss feeds, is create accounts with google, yahoo and hotmail/msn. Then subscribe to your own rss feeds using these accounts. Also, write a few short articles on matched betting, like tips on something, then, publish these at einearticles.com and have your site listed in author bio and add some sharp anchor text within these articles, after the 100 word point, and link to your site.

If you don't want to write a few 400 word articles, outsource it on forums.digitalpoint.com for a few quid. They quality can suck there though, so you could push a bit more and get them done on elance.com.

Also, add an xml site map generator, and ping the Big G using that. Don't manually submit to Google again, because they'll sometimes sandbox you just because they're cunts. Let them find you through links, they trust you more then.

Most of the above will get you indexed pretty quickly.

Also check your logs, if googlebot is showing then they're having a little fiddle. It'll sometimes take them a couple of weeks to fully index and list. Oh, you could also post on some betting forums and add your site in the signature. Unfortunately this site is nofollow, so googlebot will ignore all outbound links from here.

What do you mean ping it using that?

If you have an xml site map generator they tell google, automatically, everytime, the site updates. They call it a pinging, as it works a bit like pinging an ip address, because all it's actually dong is notifying an address at Google, that the site has an update.

I'll add a link to your site into the footer of this site for a few weeks. That should get the Google bots on to you. :)

Cheers for the link! added the SMF site map, so hopefully that will work.  Will try some of the other stuff as well.

Just did a search and it finally appears, so atleast the forum is visible now (the sitemap/link worked).  Pretty damn low on keywords search, but it will come in time.

Are you dmoz listed?? Not sure if they allow forums, but that is smiled upon by search engines.


And get cracking with meta tags and descriptions and shit.

Just submitted to DMOZ cheers.  Done a few meta tags and other stuff.  But any more tips are welcombed.

Yeah Dmoz will help, but i have a feeling getting a forum in there is tough. Plus they ignore many requests anyway!

Now you're getting spidered, the best thing is to get backlinks. Get inbound links to your site with keyword related anchor text for maximum effect.

Fucking geeks  ::)

Anyone got any other websites etc to swap links?

I am on google now and have tried to get back links, although some forums dont like you doing it oh well.

Cheers for the link at the bottom, that has helped a lot!  Not many people using it though.  Oh well.
