How does casinos linking to other affiliate sites affect SEO?

[mmbute]

Hi,

when I was browsing around at a casino site today I found some links on their site wich leads to affiliate sites promoting other casinos. This might be common I don´t know I´m quite new to the industry but I find it a bit strange.

So I have a few questions about this.

1. How common is this in the industry ofcourse link building is but the fact that casinos link to affiliates?

2. How does that affect SEO? If I promote/link to a casino on my site wich links to another affiliate site will that boost the other affiliate site?

3. In theory if I send traffic to a casino wich leads them to another affiliate site then I´m sending a lead to a competitor or am I missing something here?

This might be stupid questions I don´t know but hopefully I will get some answer to this.

Not a stupid question.
i think such a link would be nice.
But saw only once affiliatelinks on a casino site, many years ago.
Are you sure those links where om a casino website?

Sorry if I was a bit unclear.

I did not get redirected I found a link on a casino sites front page wich leads to a affiliate site.

So..

1. I visit a casino site wich I was promoting at the time.

2. I look around and by accident I find a link wich leads to another affiliate.

3. Wich means that if I send traffic to that casino my lead might also find that link (since it's on the front page) and leave the casino by that link and end up on a third site wich is another affiliate.

Sometimes if you write a good piece or a few articles about them you might get a link back.. I have had some from sportsbooke "thier blogs" but it's always got their name in the article that they link to

Okay yes that might be okay ofcourse. But I forgot to mention that this link was as the bottom on their start page and hidden under the word "promotions" wich is a common word to search for as a player when you enter a site to check for terms etc.

And if the visitor search and find the word and thinks it leads to promotions and end up at a different site the chance is that they think the went back to were they came from and maybe picks another casino and there goes my lead to another affiliate.

That can't be right can it?

And also I put both time and money to succed and to boost my seo and this only makes my competitors stronger. So infact I pay with time and money to boost competitors wich dosent feel right.

Or am I wrong?

I would not be inclined to promote a brand who uses that particular tactic.

Exactly I don't think anybody would if they knew.

But there is probably a few here on this forum who is promoting right now (they are providing netent among other software) since I found the link yesterday.

The casino have told me that they will remove the links and depending on what they reply to my last email I will consider name the casino.

I have seen this before, casinos linking to affiliate sites. In my opinion a casino who links to affiliate sites from their home page does not care too much about their brand, which is very concerning for me. Of course it is their right to do so but I would not promote such a brand on my affiliate site.

Rather than asking them to remove the link just don't promote them, rather promote a decent brand instead. There are many NetEnt casinos out there so you can afford to be picky.

Don't waste time farting against thunder rather use it to create your own thunder.

Nope, we're referring to a casinos main page, not some out dated linking scheme page.

I know of a few casinos that have those links, surprisingly they were also related to the hacker thread.
