I personally could care less who is lining up to speak with this guy and who believes this is a trend.
What do those sites have in common with the normal gaming portal and for that matter 99% of them? Hell, tons of porn sites advertise party poker; are they relevant to my gaming portals too?
What exactly is the trend you speak about? That these type sites appear to be becoming popular and we want to know why? Even if these sites are busy sites and they run gambling ads; how in the world does it relate to my gaming portal? IMO I say they dont relate at all!
As the captain said you have went off the deep end here.
Hell bringing in some site scraper dudes would be of more value than this.
