Need recommendation on SEO company :)

Hi everyone... I hope I'm not going out on a limb here for my first post, but I have a client who is looking for a referral to an SEO company... the site(s) that they are looking to optimize are Online Gaming / Casino / Poker sites. They are quality sites and are a large company that is trying to stamp their name on the marketplace ;) The one SEO that I would highly recommend has a huge waiting list and no longer handles gaming related sites - they have moved into a specific niche market, so for the sake of my client, I am hoping that I can suggest a few options that he can consider in making his choice. I am looking for the best of the best - successful and reputable firms that can offer excellent service and have a good track record.

BTW... I am not a broker, lol. Just trying to offer good customer service to my client

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

be prepare for some guys self promotion...!!!

www.seomoz.org is a good option

Yes thanks for the warning For all of you shameless self-promoters out there... I am really looking for some good referrals here that can handle the heavy hitting terms like online gaming, online poker, online casino, etc....

Since my client is looking for the best of the best, and has corporate initiative & backing for this undertaking they will be looking for case studies, client testimonials/referrals, etc... so they'll definitely be doing their homework before making a decision

So really I'm looking for honest suggestions, a good company that is willing to take on this project.

thanks thanks thanks in advance

Does seomoz even do gambling? If you're as big as you say, and you're looking for a firm, be prepared for six figure contacts minimum.

i know that in their portfolio they dont have gambling and i know its a very different stategy for this type of website but i dont see why seomoz will not make gambling strategies.... i am just speculating...

Well thanks for the suggestion, but nope... they're not doing gaming sites.

Any other suggestions out there???

SEOmoz would be an excellent choice for a top seo company.

Shameless promotion: www.seoptimise.com

As DJstreet pointed out your talking 6 figures for this type of project. Even for this price you will be hard put to find a good seo. poker/gambling sites are perhaps the hardest to rank on google and most seo for one reason or another do not offer those services.
I know a reputable site where you might find a good seo. I prefer not to disclose this to the whole world but if you want to PM me I will send you the url.

Ps. Read all agreements before signing and preferrably write your own and make the seo sign it stating what you need done and don't settle for screenshots as proof of completion. When the seo has done the work you will see so much traffic you will need to buy new servers.

I'm only putting in my shameless plug in because I love gambling games (especially poker) and play 3-4 times per week and even run poker event planning on the side. This is something my company can handle as we've worked with a lot of high difficulty internet industries in the past and that's all I'm going to say here. If you want to talk to me send me a Private Message.
