Content continues to be created - and an eye is cast over the various industry components. Content is king.

Pretty similiar here in some ways, but different in others.
The
CasinoCity.com website was launched in the fall of 1995, so I could say we've been doing it for 12 1/2 years now, but it wasn't until around eleven years ago that we started selling advertising to online gaming sites.
Personally, my time has not changed much in the past two years (there are only so many hours in a day and my wife will say I spend more of them working than I should and not enough of them relaxing, not buying my argument that work is relaxing), although the way I have spent my time has switched around some in that time since we have new and different projects we are working on. For example, two years ago was a little before we acquired the GPWA, and that has changed how I have spent some of my time. And the facebook work we are doing right now is a new direction. And we have other projects in the work that we hope will result in significant growth over the medium term.
As a company we have about the same staff as a year ago, although there is a somewhat heavier focus on online gaming today than a year ago.
And I agree content is King. But so is the infrastructure used to maintain and present the content. We spend as much doing development work on systems to maintain and present our content as we do on the content itself.
And we don't spend any time on links, and very little time on
SEO, although we do structure the systems we build to do well in those areas (I just checked and
CasinoCity.com came up as the first search result in google for the term "casinos" and the fourth search result in google for the term "casino").
