I don't know what you're referring to with the spammy techniques but I'd be very surprised if FT owes the majority of the growth to SEO.

- Their TV ads are very popular and they seem to be the major US advertiser (no figures to back that up)
- They have an almost "branded" show on a US network, NBC
- They came out immediately after the UIGEA with an open statement about US players
- They were the 2nd largest network to remain open to US players, which means a lot for people with multiple accounts moving from Stars/Party to Stars/X
- They have 20+ name pros endorsing the site, both on worldwide TV and online
