Blog: 1 Website,3 Domains,25 Headaches

I’ve built over 100 websites in the last few years. It’s at the point where I’ve did it so often, you’d assume I could do it in my sleep.

You’d be wrong.

Where can YOU link to ME?

It amuses me these days how the concept of linking to another website is like asking a webmaster to kill their own mother. I wish I was joking with that analogy, but I’m not. Just earlier this week, a webmaster e-mailed me wanting to link to Poker Affiliate Bible because he appreciated the advice here, and what specific anchor text I’d like. So I told him, and I thought that was that until I got that awful e-mail:

“Where can YOU link to ME?”

CAP London: Meet With Me

I will be attending the CAP Euro event in London, England which takes place January 29th to February 1st, 2009.

IPlayBingo are Scammers. Beware!

Unfortunately in this industry, there are always going to be affiliate programs where you encounter problems. Some are small like delays in communication, however others are big, like a complete lack of communication, or just not paying affiliate funds.
