It’s a terrible thing what they did, whatever it is they did, i just know i got no coin where coin used to be, my stats are a bit higher than a 50% drop off so far this month, i was averaging more per day than i have in the first 9 days this month in total
I guess the signs were there with their constant screwy stat issues, i kinda sensed something bad was coming, but was really hoping it wasn’t
These companies seem to be following a similar pattern, they use you to attain their peak level, then once they’ve accomplished their goal they brush you off like some cheap ho
I think i have a resolution on how to stop these things from happening in the future, but it depends on Google/Yahoo abolishing all gambling websites from their search engines, aside from affiliate sites and other poker/gambling related sites
If you type in “where to play poker online” on page 1 of Google, 9 out of the first 10 results are online poker rooms, basically coming over the top of us, instead of optimizing their site for their own specifics, they’ve branched out with their keywords and phrases to eliminate the middle man, ie, us, and that’s not good
If you eliminate the actual businesses(which are illegal anyway) then surfers would be more dependant on the reviews of trusted poker portals
As it stands now, Google is the number one affiliate for these poker rooms, and they don’t really need anyone else, and they sure are acting like it
It’s unlikely this will change anytime soon, and if it did it would open a whole other door of legalities regarding promoting online gambling in any way, but it would be nice, as it stands now i feel as though my partners are actually more like my enemies than actual partners
Finding a decent program these days is like panning for gold.
I would like to replace Absolute, but with who, they are all garbage, Ultimate Bet, Party Poker, Poker Stars, Full Tilt, all crap, and those are the best of the best, show me one decent poker affiliate program out of those, none of the other poker rooms out there retain players at the level of those, so there is no point in getting 50% of nothing by promoting them.
