Why Your Gambling Affiliate Program Sucks
Saturday, July 16th, 2011Web Hosting for Poker Sites
Thursday, June 9th, 2011I’ve been wanting to write an article about web hosting for poker sites for quite a while now. I’m including affiliate links for some of them, because the commissions are good. And I also think that anyone who has been reading the blog here for any length of time knows that I’m not the type of person to recommend a host just because they’ll pay me a commission. In fact, I ...

How to Take Control Back from Poker Affiliate Programs
Friday, January 21st, 2011Complaints about poker affiliate program shenanigans are posted on poker affiliate forums constantly. But there’s an easy way to take away the affiliate programs’ ability to frustrate you. Dictate your own terms. Not a day goes by that I don’t receive an email from a poker affiliate program asking me to sign up. Once you have a poker site with any reasonable amount of traffic, yo...
Why You Should Write Your Own Poker Content
Wednesday, January 19th, 2011Most poker webmasters outsource the content generation on their sites, and that’s not always a bad thing. But my suggestion is that a poker website should have a personality behind it. And that personality should belong to the poker website owner. If you can’t be bothered to write an occasional post on your own site, then how important could the content on your site possibly be to you?...
Why You Should Design Your Own Poker Website
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011One big mistake I see new poker webmasters make all the time is buying some template for a site from a forum member somewhere. This is the last thing a new poker webmaster should do. If you don’t know how to design your own poker website, how are you going to know whether or not the guy you bought the template from has done a good job or not? Most webmasters in this business are way too conc...
Learning to Be a Gambling Affiliate – Guest Post
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010Please note that this “Learning to Be a Gambling Affiliate” post is a guest post from Doovde at PAL. Everything I’ve learned as a gambling affiliate is a direct result of one of four things: 1) A conversation I’ve had with another affiliate. 2) Something I’ve read on an affiliate blog. 3) A thread on an affiliate forum. 4) Something I’ve seen other affiliates do...
Starting as a Poker Affiliate in 2009
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010This is a guest post from Jonathan Wanchalk. Starting as a Poker Affiliate in 2009 Many new affiliates feel like making any money is impossible when they first get started. More specifically, poker affiliates tend to give up after a month of work goes unrewarded. Perhaps the most discouraging aspect of being an affiliate is the fact that your work is not going to see any results for quite some tim...
Why Your Linkbuilding Strategy Sucks
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010The most common way for poker webmasters to find targets for their linkbuilding strategy is to research who’s linking to your competitors. Here’s why I think that strategy sucks: Even if you succeed in getting the same backlinks that your competitor has, you’re always trying to play catch-up. Which site is going to rank higher, assuming that you have the same backlink profile as ...
