Poker Affiliate Bible Revamp Blog – Part 2
Welcome to the second part of the Poker Affiliate Bible revamp blog, as we set about rebuilding this website from the ground up. It’s a big task – but it’s fun and the end result is going to be sick.
You can read part one here. In part two we’re doing to be discussing the two biggest elements when it comes to planning out a website: site design
Boss Network Pulling Out of Canada
It was announced today that the online poker room PokerKings will not be letting any Canadians join their poker room as of September 24th. This is the beginning of ALL Boss/IPN websites on that network blocking Canadians.
The End of Google Wave
One new feature of the new Poker Affiliate Bible will be the “blog” section. I’ve written some blogs on here before, but I’d like to make it a more focal point of the new Affiliate Bible where I comment regularly on going-ons in the industry or hot topics that are taking place across the forums.
While we work on the new affiliate bible I thought I would keep things busy here with numerous blog updates.
Poker Affiliate Bible Revamp Blog – Part 1
Although it may not seem like it, things are actually very busy here at Poker Affiliate Bible. I’ve been busy behind the scenes on the revamping of Poker Affiliate Bible, and I thought I would take some time out to actually blog about what exactly I am doing.
Let’s do this in a Q&A format.
10 Questions With…Roger
Welcome to the latest edition of 10 Questions With… where we talk to someone in the gambling industry, discuss the hot topics, and see what advice they have for all new and existing affiliates.
In this edition we sit down with Roger. If you’ve ever spent any time on poker affiliate forums, you’ll know of Roger or his previous screenname hoursurfing.
Time Limited Niche Sites
One thing that’s proving popular these days is promoting or building websites around time limited niche. The World Cup. March Madness. Belmont Stakes. The Grand National. But once these events are over, do we really have to wait a whole year to focus on those sites again?
No.
Competition Is Healthy
Affiliates are always concerned about competion, as they should be. We’re worried about losing our rankings in google, or that we’ll never take over the likes of Pokerlistings when it comes to general poker terms, or sites like RakeTheRake when it comes to rakeback.
Yet competition is a good thing. A great thing.
Getting Inside the Visitors Head
One of the biggest parts of visitor optimization is getting inside the visitors head – understanding what they are doing, what they are looking for, and how you can best serve them.
This is one of the most basic concepts of website building, yet one that people always seem to ignore.
10 Questions With…Poker Affiliate Solutions
Being a poker affiliate is hard. Being a rakeback affiliate is harder. Trying to offer competitive rates, battling against the authority sites with their $100k+ rake races while trying to keep your customers happy with responsive customer support.
Well, being a rakeback affiliate WAS hard. It’s not anymore.
Giving Thanks
I’d like to take some time out from my usual articles to give thanks to a few affiliate programs. The affiliate-program relationship is always such a weird relationship – and sadly, many programs look as affiliates as just another “affiliate ID”.
Not all programs are like that thankfully.
