The BetFair SEO artists (and other “-social media consultants”-) would say just say *anything* and do *anything* to get a blogger to link to betting.betfair.com. Including a falsification. Here is what they e-mailed me:
[…] betting.betfair.com. You may or may not have seen the site before, but basically it’s a big sports blog with about 45 writers […!!!…] doing useful previews, tips and analysis from lots of different sports. It’s an excellent site and one which has received recognition from the Soccerlens awards.
Soccerlens.com (big football blog) described betting.betfair.com as “-head and shoulders above the rest in terms of providing useful betting advice to their readers”-. […]
It is not exactly true.
Here is what Soccer Lens really says (look up the last line in bold):
Best Football Betting Site of 2008
Readers’ Choice: OLBG.
Online Betting Guide (OLBG) is a comprehensive resource for football betting and one of the most popular betting sites around.
Runner Up: Betfair.
Editors’ Choice: OLBG.
We’ve discussed this before – not all the top sites on football betting were included in the nominations. Of those that were, OLBG (and Betfair) stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of providing useful betting advice to their readers.
Runner Up: Betfair.
The winner for this category (for best soccer betting blog) was OBLG —-it was both the readers’- choice and the editors’- choice.
The BetFair blog came second —-in both the readers’- choice and the editors’- choice.
So it is just a lie to say that:
Soccerlens.com (big football blog) described betting.betfair.com as “-head and shoulders above the rest in terms of providing useful betting advice to their readers”-.
The truth is rather:
Soccerlens.com (big football blog) described OBLG as “-head and shoulders above the rest in terms of providing useful betting advice to their readers”-.
