However, despite offering such high-quality services with top-class betting support, gambling sites like Sbobet are struggling to improve their Google rankings or increase their online traffic without proper SEO support.

The Case: Low-quality Backlinks And Dropping Web Traffic & Rankings

SEO itself is a complicated process of implementing specific strategies for every business and requires expertise in every single segment. When we talk about SEO for gambling platforms or casinos, the game is more challenging and demanding now. But one thing for sure is that with our expert help, this arduous seeming task is no longer inevitable. It is always tricky for starters to increase traffic and push ranks for niches like online gambling or casinos. The online casino has some of the toughest competition in all markets over cyberspace. 

This competition makes it daunting to implement SEO strategies for online gambling websites and get results. Finally, another challenge of a whole different level is the social stigma and a hard-to-fit mentality associated with casinos. This dwindling reputation of online casinos actively works against conventional SEO practices to get expected results. The Sbobet platform was also a victim of these speculations degrading its performance and ranks day by day. On top of it, gambling, betting, or casino-based activities are also not legal in Indonesia. 

Combined, all these factors made it almost impossible for Sbo to increase traffic on their platforms and push their ranking on the virtual world. To overcome their miseries, Sbobet tried different SEO practices from different SEO agencies in the market to become the leader of the casino world with a top-ranked position on Google. They tried different agencies and SEO services only to face nothing but disappointment. It’s not in everyone’s expertise to handle a successful SEO for an online casino website. Even after getting decent backlinks and premium services, nothing seemed to pay off for Sbobet, not until Parker2010 showed up as an angel in disguise.

Instead, these unwanted sitemaps were degrading the image of their website. Our team replaced these with definite sitemaps, which were indexed to bring the best possible results. 

On top of it, their website was full of poor-quality pages. Most of these pages were removed, while some were edited concerning the best SEO practices in 2022.
