Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It is a good question, and one that I'm sure many of you are wondering. It seems like every article of mine has some reference to a casino or gambling in it, and now you see it in other writer's articles as well. Am I really that big a degenerate? Before you answer that, know that I've never placed a single bet anywhere; not online, not at Vegas,...anywhere. I have vices, (like the time spent here) but gambling is not one of them. So What Are These Gambling References About? FishDuck.com is getting paid to place backlinks into articles. Why, and what is that? Companies, (usually abroad) want their new websites to be found on Google, thus their Google Rankings must go up. These new gambling site companies go to Marketing/SEO companies and pay them to raise their profile, their "SEO Juice" (Search Engine Optimization) with the Google search process. If their new site or company is linked on another site (like mine) that has excellent SEO Juice...then it helps them get found in a Google Search so much better. These links are not advertising, and not meant to generate business, they are just there to be a backlink on my site is all. So I weave them into articles like the recent example below: "I was going over FanDuel’s NFL odds for Justin Herbert‘s LA Chargers, when I started pondering about what has been stated by this new Oregon head coach and OC about the upcoming Oregon offense." Is This Lucrative? No, as I get $100.00 for the backlink. Considering that my expenses with the two sites runs over $500.00 a month, and I am trying to create a "Photographer Fund" to pay for the photographers this fall--I need all these backlink orders that I can get. Another component to this? I do not want to be out begging for donations again, as I did last year. So many of you were very generous, helping the site and now that I've found an easy way to pay the bills of the two sites--I am doing the backlinks instead. I SO APPRECIATE the 33 donors last year, as you kept us alive and helped deliver the sites to where you do not have to endure "the" phone call from the Shameless Beggar. Fortunately the other writers are being good sports and going along with links in their articles to fund the sites, but I make sure that yours-truly is referred to the degenerate gambler, not the writer. A recent example in a David Marsh article... "Mr. FishDuck and I were discussing Oregon’s new culture after I was able to pull him from his bet365 reviews on gamblingguy.com and thus came to some similar conclusions." Where Do These Backlinks Come From? All around the world; in one week I published backlinks from a company in Romania, and another on the other side of the world in Hong Kong. I get a few in Asia such as Sri Lanka or India, but most are in Europe. In fact we recently had one from Derby, England (map above) of which is not far from Sheffield, where the web developer for this forum is located. Recently I received an order for a backlink article, (this is done by email where they enquire, I send back a specs document, and then they answer if interested further) and I emailed back that it will be in my own article on Monday after the Spring Game. Below was the insertion into the analysis article I created.... "I immediately found a favorite play and had to take some time away from Captain Cooks Casino NZ to break down this “explosion” play that went for 44 yards, and share it with you." My FishDuck Friends, what was amazing is how the order came from a company located in Budapest, Hungary to be published on a site in Eugene, Oregon and the link went to a site in New Zealand! How about that for being global? These backlinks are easy to read over and ignore, and are far better for all of us than having blaring ads, pop-up windows or videos playing in the background where you have to search for the video is on the page so you can turn it off! How would like that every time you go from the front page to a post? I hate it on other sites, and thus why I have turned to this easy way to pay the bills of the two sites, FishDuck and Our Beloved Ducks forum. And I do appreciate all of you overlooking the gambling links inserted gently to pay the bills, and focusing on the actual articles written. So now you know why those sentences/links are in articles, and that I might be a degenerate, but not from gambling! 1 4 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I was in Seattle for a couple of years and of course it was awful One saving grace was that I guess the ABC station really loved their 6:00 newscast because they didn't start their broadcast of "MNF" until 6:30. Now, I didn't bet on every game, I actually thought at least one of the guy's I watched the games with understood that in the rest of the country the game started a half hour earlier! Never underestimate how damaging being a Husky fan be. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I thought I would bump this up again because there are many who did not read it before, and it would answer a BIG question for them. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 8 Share Posted May 9, 2022 This is not a joke to me, as finding a way to pay website expenses without pulling any more from family assets impacts whether the sites can remain up. I will pin this up on a regular basis as newbies wonder why those casino references are in nearly every one of my articles. And it takes a boatload of my time creating extra articles to fill backlink article orders. I spent most of my weekend writing articles for upcoming orders. All so I, and everyone else has FishDuck and the OBD forum to enjoy. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
