Poker Website Reviews Are Now Available

Randy Ray — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 14:34:08 +0000

Poker website reviews seem to be an in-demand product offering. By that, I mean that I’ve had multiple inquiries about what services I offer, and I’ve decided to start offering poker website reviews as a service. (And honestly, I’m not going to limit myself to just reviewing poker websites, either. I’m qualified and willing to review casino websites, gambling websites, or a...

A Poker Forum Network – An Idea for Poker Webmasters

Randy Ray — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 21:52:21 +0000

How to Launch a Poker Forum Network If you want to create some sites which generate their own content and links, then you should think about launching a poker forum network. It doesn’t (in fact it shouldn’t be) a large network. It should be a small network of 3 or 4 poker forums that can all stand on their own. But you can cross link them within reason, and I’d be surprised if a...

Casino Pay per Click

I’m going to write about the casino pay per click business model today. Unless you’ve known me a long time, you probably don’t realize that I got my start doing casino pay per click. I don’t know how profitable it is anymore, considering the recent events, but as an exercise in how to think about making money and return on investment, it’s excellent. The way a casino...

Monetizing a Poker Blog

Randy Ray — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 15:14:01 +0000

I’ve got some ideas about monetizing a poker blog that I’d like to share. Some of them I’ve done myself in the past, and some of them I might try to do in the future. But this post is mostly aimed at real poker bloggers–the ones who write about poker because they love it, NOT because they’re trying to make a buck. I’ve noticed that some poker blogs are not mone...

Refer People to Poker Sites, Make Money

Randy Ray — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:43:55 +0000

If you wanted a quick, easy way to describe what most poker affiliate webmasters do, you could sum it up with the title of this article–refer people to poker sites, make money. Rinse and repeat. Even poker affiliate webmasters who work on a pure prepaid advertising basis are getting paid to refer people to poker sites. Some poker webmasters branch out into bingo and casino niches. In their ...

Online Poker Advertising

Randy Ray — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 14:17:25 +0000

Online Poker Advertising Rates So what’s happened to online poker advertising rates since Black Friday? My guess is that rates have plummeted. A lot of poker webmasters work on a revshare or CPA basis, so if they have primarily US-based traffic, they’re not making much money anymore. I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know. I’ve advised people in the pas...

How to Increase the Value of a Website

Randy Ray — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:47:22 +0000

I’m planning to write and self publish a book titled How to Increase the Value of a Website, but I thought it would be fun to post some of my ideas on the subject here first. Also, I’m seeking case studies and anecdotes to include in the book, so I’d be grateful to anyone who might be willing to contact me with stories about things they’ve done to increase the value of the...

The recent actions by the Department of Justice and the subsequent departure of almost all of the online, USA facing cardrooms underscores the need to have a diverse portfolio of income-generating websites. But how do you do that? What should you diversify, and why? Diversify Website Topics People like to specialize, and specialization, as a GENERAL rule, is good. But putting all of your eggs int...

Thanks to Brandon for this guest post. Keeping Things in Perspective as a Poker Affiliate There is little doubt that affiliate marketing can be a healthy part of a poker site’s advertising efforts. With that being said poker affiliates need to keep in mind that an affiliate program is just that – part of the bigger advertising picture for a poker room. An affiliate program isn’...

One Way Gambling Linkbuilding Service

Randy Ray — Tue, 10 May 2011 14:04:14 +0000

I’ve decided to offer one way gambling linkbuilding services. This service is a new one, like my premium poker content services. (By the way, I still have room for some more content clients, but not much. The response to my post yesterday was good.) What does my one way gambling linkbuilding service include? What does it cost? I’ll build 30 one way links a month, at a price of $599, ...
