Hey Michael thanks you the heads up on activities at a place as established as Casino City.
I've noticed that Casino City is very pro-active in exploring new markets and coming up with new ideas and displays. Very impressed with some of the ideas you're exploring - and you just need 1 hity in 5 to make it pay its way.
I come from a technical programming background, financial systems, ATMs, EFTPOS, VISA and Mastercard authorisation links, device handlers for petrol pumps etc and so I know how to code at a secure industrial level.
But internet is different - very weird and floppy - and a bit too graphical for my skills. I've learnt enough Javascript and PHP to be dangerous to myself, and I've slowly migrated from a pure HTML environment to mostly generated content for the sports sections. It's all coded by hand - because I like to understand whats happening.
The casino / poker sections are pure HTML made with a cheap WYSIWYG piece of software that allows my partner to produce what she likes quickly without really needing to know any technical skills at all. This suits her graphical skills much better than hand coding PHP/HTML.
But I would estimate our weekly time as :
80% content
10% paying bills, chasing invoices, negotiating new deals, paying TAX
5% team direction meetings
5% playing with PHP ..
I agree that when we create new pages or tweak old ones then we will re-examine the contents with a
SEO hat on - but it's all the basics really, keywords, meta tags, h1/h2 headings, labeling images etc.
But mostly it's content, content, content, and managing the finances ...
