ShoppingAds.com Security Fail!

 

I logged on to Shoppingads.com today and was surprised to see high commission totals for my account. I couldn’t believe my eyes since I don;t really promote them any longer, so I made sure it was correct. It ended up being someone’s account in Cali! I could see their SS# for there tax id and all their other info. Later, I logged in again after emailing them, and saw it was a new person’s account! So this time I called the guy and he told me it was spreading in forums that there’s an issue. Anyways, I always look to make the best out of a bad situation and asked him how his sales were so high. He told me some secrets and I told him some of mine and I made a new affiliate friend and possible new sub affiliate.

If you are having trouble with your shoppingads.com affiliate security issues, then I suggest signing up as an E bay affiliate. Or if you want to make higher commissions, then sign up as a Full Tilt Poker affiliate.

Outsource your programming for less.
 
 

German Poker Players

 

One of the most famous German poker players is Katja Thater “Miss Slick”, who is the most known female player in Germany, due to televised events featuring wins by her. Thater belongs to Team PokerStars and cashed twice at the 2006 WSOP and won a bracelet playing Razz in the 2007 WSOP. Another well-known German player is Michael Keiner, who won a WSOP bracelet in 2007 playing 7 Card Stud and has been a European champion since 1995. Germany’s Thomas “Buzzer” Bihl became the first WSOP bracelet winner in the WSOP Europe, defeating Jennifer Harman in a HORSE event.

One of the younger Germans with more of a fan base is Sebastian Ruthenberg, who cashed twice at the WSOP 2008, beating Chris Ferguson for a 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo bracelet and finishing 68th in the No Limit Hold ‘em event. He has also had success in the EPT with four wins and taking 1st place at the 2008 PokerStars EPT Barcelona Open, winning almost $2 million. His total lifetime tournament winnings run close to $3 million.

As more and more Germans are hitting the poker tables, and poker rooms are popping up all over Germany, we have seen a growing number of poker professionals emerge from Germany. There is a growing fascination with poker in Germany, as there is in other parts of the world, according to poker commentator, Michael Körner, who works for Germany’s leading sports channel, DSF. Körner attributes the poker craze in Germany to money, suspense, and the colorful player personalities that people relate to. He says these personalities include players such as “the poker lout, the nice guy, the parvenu or the young wild one.”

Many of the poker fans in Germany come from a background in chess or other strategic games and attend poker schools like Rhinepoker in Hilden. Poker has really turned into a spectator sport in Germany recently with more and more televised events taking place and EPT’s recent stop in Germany. Jo Mainz, head of poker at Casino Hohensyburg, says, “We have really experienced a tsunami of poker here since it started showing on television.” DSF reportedly broadcasted more than 800 hours of poker in 2008, reaching 200,000 viewers each time a tournament aired.

The German Poker Players Association reported hundreds of thousands of active poker players in Germany in 2007, which is a major reason for the January 2008 ban of online poker by the German government. Though the European Union has worked to fight the ban, it looks as if German players will have to travel if they wish to play poker.

 
 

Poker Content

 

Quality poker content is hard to find, you have to go through writers constantly and work around their poker playing habits. Luckily I have found some good writers to write for my poker blogs and they have created a big following for some of those poker blogs. One of the ways you can make money promoting poker is to be a poker writer. This way you don’t have to bother with building a site until later on. This is all profit with very little overhead which will get you through a recession. On the other hand, the poker webmasters might start writing their own content to save money. If you do have enough money coming in to support yourself or your family in might be good idea to write as a part time gig. This way you can start saving money to get through a depression which it looks like we’re headed to. But enough gloom and doom, even if we come out of a recession tomorrow, content is what is the most in demand for online. Websites need content to drive traffic! No traffic = no money….. I know writers that make $200.00 a day or more and I know people without a job and with writing skills who are too lazy to sign up at a forum and build up their portfolio. A good place to start is Pokeraffiliateprograms.com. Sign up there and go to the content section and offer your services. Articles that are 500 words go from $15-$40. Maybe start by writing 5 articles and posting them for sale in the forum. Be sure not to post the article in the forum but just the topic obviously…. You can also contact me at XXpropokerspaceXX@mac.com if you are interested in writing for a poker blog (remove X’s).

My last post about Aced.com

 

I have to correct what I said in my last post about Aced.com. I meant to say that I don’t believe it will be around in a year, and I did not mean to use the word trust. I don’t have a reason to not trust the company, I just don’t believe it will be around. They do offer CPA, so if you do choose to promote them
I suggest using that. I’m not right all the time, so if you feel that you like them, then go ahead and choose revenue share.

 
 

Aced.com affiliate program

 

I highly recommend staying away from the Aced.com affiliate program. I do not believe that the site will be around IMO and will not promote their brand. I suggest promoting a site that will be around for a while so that you do not waste conversions. I give this site a year at most. Spend you time promoting Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker, or Party Poker instead. These sites will be around for a while and you can make income over a long period of time via revenue share.
Aced.com stay away

Aced.com Affiliate Program
[ ] Make Money Promoting Poker
[x] Fail

I posted again about this in the following post. This is not a warning that they are not trust worthy, instead it is a post to suggest you promote a more stable site. If Aced.com continues to grow, then by all means promote them. Otherwise, in this bad economy, I would just stick with the big boys.

Is Poker Dead? Gloom and doom?

 

There is so much negative posting going on in poker forums its ridiculous. These doom and gloom reports inspired me to start searching traffic stats for major poker rooms and poker sites. I have yet to look at table traffic from the major rooms, but can say that traffic is down to the actual URLS except for Full Tilt Poker which has some big spikes before a decline.
Poker Traffic

It’s really hard to say what the impact of the economy is going to have on poker and poker marketing in the long run. I can tell you that I know some friends of mine that needed work months ago and asked me how they can make money. I gave them several suggestions of how to make money writing content for sites. They made minimal effort to get off their buts, and are in the same predicament
they were in before. They could of started writing for me or someone on digital point and made up to $100.00 or more a day writing. But no, they just continue to complain about how they can’t get a job….
