    What Ads Network can I use on my site

    Okay folks, up until now I have had banner advertising for the affiliated poker/casino rooms on my site, I get a modest amount of traffic and I wanted to really put something on like google Adsense - Unfortunately Google says this ----
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Thank you for your interest in Google AdSense. Unfortunately, after
    reviewing your application, we're unable to accept you into Google AdSense
    at this time.

    We did not approve your application for the reasons listed below.

    Issues:

    - Gambling-related content

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    So What I am looking for is a program that will pay me regulary that I can use on my main page.

    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks

    As far as I know, google Adwords accepts now gambling-related ads only for UK and Italy.

    Ahhh Ok - I was thinking of an alternative to Google,, I did find bidvertiser - but they only pay per click, I was wondering if there was one that paid on the amount of traffic as well

    I have been working on getting my site sorted now and would really appreciate some feedback on it

    http://www.furnesspoker.co.uk

    I added the payperclick banner at the bottom (It pays something like 14c) But am I shortchanging myself and losing traffic with this? Also whats your thoughts on me selling bannerspace or text links. Although I am predominantly a poker site, I am wanting to bring in a casino and bingo site on the main page and have even considered duplicating my site to be FurnessBingo and FurnessCasino and having each main page almost identical in design but with the relevant text and banners.

    Sorry for all the info but I really do appreciate your input and feedback on this

    Personally i dont like using ads like that on my sites, however, a good many do and i am sure that they would say that they are worthwhile and good value. For me though, i aim to give content to the visitors that is suitable and will earn me far more than 19p per click. That space there might be better served with a banner that might not get you regular 19p clicks but may aquire you a player much more worth while periodically.

    Personally i would replace the banner for sale ad with a banner that will work for you - i.e a poker room. Regarding selling links you will periodically get people looking to buy links on here and could always post a thread in the links store on here.

    Creating a brand with furness poker, casino and bingo is a great idea, nothing like having a brand. One thing to consider though, maybe spreading your time thinly over 3 sites is not so good as spending all your time on one!

    Very professional site. Well done!

    One thing I noticed when navigating your drop down menu, some of the links open in a new window ie. 'glossary', while others don't.

    FWIW some users see pages that open in a new window as a distraction or a 'break in the experience' of your website.

    Hope this helps.

    Good luck!

    Ahhh thanks - The Poker Glossary is actually a sneaky link exchange to another site - in exchange for two of the keywords linking back to my site, I will of course check the rest of my links and make sure they stay within the site.
    Thankyou for the feedback

    Thankyou very much, I think you confirmed what I was thinking and will take your advice on board and make the necessary changes.
    With the three brands, I was thinking of just maybe having them as portalpages and linking them all into the one forum, which i would then divide into three sections, Poker, Bingo, Casino, this way it would be a simple thing of just periodically updating the banners and of course adding the urls to my promoting, I also thought that this may be helpful to my Search Engine Optimisations
