Man has been searching for entertainment ever since he came to this world. Often the pleasure and need were combined. He started hunting to feed himself and when he realized that he could survive without killing animals it turned into a form of leisure. When man moved to currencies for trade, the greed of getting more money for a less strenuous work turned playing cards into gambling. As we all now relies the importance of money in our daily lives, getting a little extra spending power in our pockets never hurts.
With the advent of internet people have moved away from traditional forms of playing cards. Wherein once only a few friends used to get together for a game of cards or probably a casino in town would be enough to satisfy the greed, online gambling and casinos now have replaced not only the bars and fights that were commonplace then, but also the amount of money that can be made.
One of the fastest growing and most rewarding online games is that of poker. Poker has as much been a game as it has been a way of life to many people which is ably depicted in some of Hollywood’s classic movies. Previously, the game used to be played only at casinos or poker rooms, entering which seemed an intimidating task for the uninitiated. The casinos these days don’t consider poker to be an economically viable option because the game requires a huge table to be set up and also chances of disputes are significantly higher in this game compared to other games that a casino can offer.

Having the answers to the following questions will help you build a comprehensive picture of your market and your competitors and put you in a stronger position to win a bigger market share.
-Who are your existing customers? Are there any other groups that may require your product or service and that you haven’t targeted before? Can your product or service be used for purposes that you had not previously considered and that could make it appealing to a wider market?
-What are your competitors’ strengths? Do you have these too? If not, why not – and should you have them?
-Why do customers buy from your competitors? What advantages do you have over your rivals that may attract their customers? How can you communicate with your competitors’ customers to get them to switch and buy from you instead?
-What is your unique selling point?
-Apart from obvious rivals, are there any other businesses with customers your product or service may appeal to
-Are there customers who have stopped buying from you? Do you know why? If not, you may want to ask them.
-Will you need to change pricing, marketing, distribution, service levels? Could those changes upset current customers? Will your employees remain motivated?

Google Design and Content Guidelines:
Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.
Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.
Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.
Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.
Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images.
Make sure that your <title> elements and alt attributes are descriptive and accurate.
Check for broken links and correct HTML.
If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a “?” character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.
Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).
TopPokerDirectory Design and Content Tips:
- Always provide ALT text with images and banners.
- Page names and the TITLE should reflect the content of the page.
- Do not use frames in your design.
- Use your main targeted keywords in H1 or H2 tags. These robots give a lot of importance to H1 tags.
- Make a detailed sitemap of a website.
- Use the tools on http://www.google.com/webmasters/
Build websites for people not robots.
