It seems to be working for me. I have a one-line ad in a few papers…use other things like biz cards with a yearly calendar on the back…I give it to people I meet when we happen to discuss online gambling. I also give out pens and matches, etc. Each has diff urls on them, so I can tell where the traffic comes from, but they all redirect to same site(s), depending on if it’s poker, bingo, blackjack etc. The ad is deal that has several papers for $100 for six months. The other stuff is $100-$200 per order, which lasts about six months per order. So I’m not spending a lot of money here. I don’t mind sharing b/c there is no one else in my market!!
I usually get 1-2 nice new depositors each month. Some I’ve acquired have been playing at the same place for years, making their usual deposits month after month. People who make an effort to type in your site are very interested in what you have to offer, and are usually ready to play as well.
Matter of fact, I was at the Imaging Center this morning, and happened to talk to a guy who had played online, but didn’t like the site. I gave him my card, and maybe he’ll check it out. If he does, most likely he will play somewhere from my link.
