Hi all,
well the old timers here have heard me sing this song before but I still feel it has merit.
Keeping programs that don’t produce … especially if you think they’re cheating you rather than just incompetent at converting visitors into players … then if you keep them listed, even on your back pages … you risk not only losing quality players that might have otherwise signed up somewhere that you can halfway trust … such as the time I had a whopper of a whale sign up at Quicksilver (gone now, and I was definitely a factor though they were on their way out anyway due to such poor management by Mike Dibley) so when this happened I had already removed Quicksilver from my sites except apparently one or two hidden/lost links which were still sending visitors (as i could see using their stats to judge when I’d finally removed all their links) …
so anyway in the time it took me to find these missing links which I never actually found so I’m guessing the visits could have come from google cache pages … I had this huge whale sign up
of course I never got paid what I had earned and all I can ever think of is if I hadn’t had that link there to Quicksilver … would I have landed that whale somewhere else?
One thing’s for sure, … I would rather have run the whale off than to have seen that money go to Dibley.
Now consider that also by keeping these kind of links up that (if they are cheats) that you are in fact going to have become what is often called an “enabler” for people who are responsible for enabling their friends/family to do drugs when they never have a job. If a cheat lands a player because you had a link to their site … then even though you may now be smart enough to stay away from placing them in prime spots … by not weeding your garden you have now helped the cheats to make enough money to hopefully be around long enough to get some more newbies signed up and continue the cycle.
The reason that’s bad for even those people who’ve already learned the hard way not to trust the cheat is that if you allow them to prosper it only funds their next scam which may be to start a new casino and not let anybody know they are behind it.
first its got to be a reputable casino network to insure players have a quality time.
second its got to make money for you. And be competitive with the others in both growth and bottom line. *you’re not here for the fun of it are you?
if it can’t be both the above. its dead in the water, get rid of it.
If in the end I have only one or two sponsors then so be it. I have to have #1 for me to stay in business and I refuse to give a free ride to a sponsor when the one next to it is paying me nicely. Its not fair to either the good sponsor nor to yourself or to anybody still coming up the line.
