Finally I hoping Dominique can give me a better understanding on how some of these affiliate programs work. I don’t know a more qualified person to ask.
Well, you know who to stay away from because of bad practices, you read CAP faithfully.
Beyond that, it’s a matter of matching promotions to the type player you attract. I don’t know diddly about what sports folks like, like the gooner has, and I don’t know what you carry on your sites. Figure out what the people come to your site to find (what are your keywords?) and find the programs that offer the best of that type of promotions. Make contact, work with them. Make sure the visitors find exactly what they came for so you get the best possible conversions. If it is in tune with what the casinos you picked like to push, they will retain better for you.
So it’s not really a matter of picking a program you get along with, it’s a matter of matching players and promos after you weed out the programs you don’t want to do business with because of bad affiliate terms or bad treatment of players. If you get a good match, your site will perform and there are a lot of programs that will work closely with you.
