Very interesting.
Re. Money Mechanics – they either don’t convert for shit or just don’t track players back to me. Of all MG, they and goldenstar are the worst for me.
Re. Focal: used to be my fav program for a long time. Since they changed the stats I barely promote them anymore. I too recognize discrepancies between different sets of stats they offer – and I just don’t make money there anymore. I got a nice special promo from them and pushed it exactly the same way I pushed the Casino Rewards free hour – I have 5 new active players at Focal and 135 at Rewards. Focal is completely focussed on their Poker now – which just crawls with spammers in their rooms stealing players. I hear Rakeback folks do well with the Poker. Compare Partnerlogic – partnerlogic is doing just fine for me. With much less exposure. That will change for sure – partnerlogic will get lots more exposure.
Ace Club – I have had one whale for ages making me nice money. Other than that not much going on, and starluck is barren. I will be speaking with Party soon about a myriad of concerns.
Referback seems to respond pretty well to the exposure I give/don’t give so on the whole I think they are honest. Have no way to tell if players get lost on their way in…
Vegas Partner – for a while they were starting to do better for me so I increased their exposure very gradually. Right at the point when they bought goldenstar they dropped off and haven’t recovered. Plain text link for them now.
Income access – I will have to check on that. Sounds like Ausvegas and Lasseters may be crossmarketing without carrying afflinks across. I will talk to Lasseters about it – doesn’t sound like an IA problem.
I used to be very suspicious of Rewards but have been testing them lately with good results.
Casino Partners – I think they turned my stats on low trickle. Doesn’t ever make any difference if I give them a push or not. Static at next to nothing.
Casinopays, Blaster, Allstars – slow improvements over the months. Cpays is starting to look like it might lift off, Blaster and Allstars have too many winners.
Brightshare, Referspot, Trident – nice. Seem to track nicely and nice retention, especially Trident.
Fortune just doesn’t convert well. I like their present tracking.
Roxy – gave them a little push in december and seems very responsive.
Wager profits, Wager Junction, United – always improving but can’t touch Micros.
Sunset from Boss is doing great – brandnew platform and games and what a difference it makes.
That’s all I can think off for now.
And while a lot of people don’t think so – I still strongly believe that different programs convert differently on different sites. I see it even on different pages on the same site. It’s not so much the site perhaps but the type of traffic, the type of person responding to the chosen keyword.
