I know some of you are smiling right now, especially those who know me well and know how I have been struggling to get Google's attention over the years.
When I started my career as a blogger for crypto gambling, the industry was very young. I wrote my first line of code back in February 2018 on newcryptocasinos.com. The idea wasn't to make money; I simply wanted to learn about these new casinos.
As more crypto casinos launched, competitors began popping up. Very quickly, we weren't the "top dog" anymore. Our presence on search engines went downhill.
So, six months ago, I made a decision: I will only focus on my community. I decided to write posts for them, not for search engines.
Then, out of the blue... we started getting visits from Google. When the search engine realized I was writing for people instead of them, they actually rewarded me.
We now have a fully working AI where people can report complaints and get reports back instantly. We've evolved from being a blogger in 2018 to running a tech platform.
So... I can now say that I love Google again. Never Give Up!
