Super Affiliates on GPWA

[Malikbhai]

Do many super affiliates visit GPWA and post messages also?

I know of Gooner, Sherlock, TravG and of course the owners of GPWA.

Perhaps there should be a badge that mentions this besides their username; Michael, Anthony and Rick could come up with a way to sort out the list based on the performance of their websites or they could be given the option to provide the proof.

This would be good for affiliates who can learn a lot from little tidbits posted by them; many times serious advice on trustable programs. A lot of clues on dos and don'ts to can be gathered from their posts.

Yes?

Based on traffic numbers? Some may not want to reveal that.

Based on income amounts? Not many at all would reveal that publicly.

Many members can learn much from members here, regardless of their traffic numbers or income levels.

How would we define what a "super affiliate" is anyway?

100 FTDs a month? 1,000? 10,000?

$100K per month at least in earnings.

But, Rick has a point; no one will share this information.

Even if a number was put on FTDs; people wouldn't reveal for fear of giving away too much information to their competition.

Was a thought, nevertheless.

There are definitely what I'd call super affiliates posting here, however they either don't log in and just browse or don't make it known who they are/that they are a super affiliate.

As Rick said, everyone here provides valuable information regardless of their size. Just because someone might have been doing something for a long time or made it big, doesn't mean they aren't still learning things too.

An icon next to a users name will act as bait for people like me (in my role) to pester them via PM to try get them to promote my brands. Of course I wouldn't do that, but there are many that would.

Hmmm, and here I assumed he just came here to pester Renee....

He does. Pesters me here, on facebook, skype, snapchat.
Can't stay away, that guy.

Estimates of the traffic a website receives are easily available using third-party services. Sometimes the estimates are pretty accurate, sometimes not, but they at least provide some indication of the relative level of traffic sites receive. Casino City has a database of nearly 10,000 affiliate websites, and we have used various API services like those provided by Alexa, Hitwise, MOZ, Similarweb, and others to obtain a variety of metrics about both portal and operator sites. We rank portals using this information, and those portal ranks have been provided for a long time in the portal directory available on this site. And, when members provide information about the sites they operate to publish here, it means it is possible to look at top sites and see who those sites are associated with. I think that is all well and good for members knowing who is associated with particular sites when they want to network about those sites. And if you are curious about a particular member, you can easily click on the link to see their member profile, which includes their sites and the available statistics about them.

Traffic volume is not always the deciding factor, I noticed one portal with huge traffic numbers which 80% comes from one major keyword with no real value, 400 clicks to conversion type keyword, then there is also player value.. whats better 50 $10 first time players or or one $500 long term player? usually the 500 ftd guys turn into 3k per month guys, imo a super affiliate is 250k per month in profit generated for the portal.

3% on 100 organics would be really good.

Agree on the traffic bit. Yes.

My thread was more about knowing whose making the advice on a particular topic. For example, you would know what you are talking about on a particular sales tactic in the gambling industry compared to me; who is just trying to act macho. You got age and experience; I got worthless instagram.

Super affiliates bring expertise; and if they are good-natured, then advice from them can be productive for a smart and eager to learn newbie affiliate.

A badge would even encourage them to slide into mentorship roles on this forum during their free time.

The idea of super affiliate badges on this forum should be kept on the table for a possible revisit.

Very PC response and no not everyone provides valuable information. The worth of information is based out of experience and professional achievement.

For example, I would take your advice on a particular AM related issue than an actual affiliate; this is because you have earned your recognition through putting in the hours; which is not the case for any other random wannabe (like me) username on this forum.

I would say that super affiliates are super affiliates because they are spending their time on their own stuff. I don't think they are out there helping other people to make money. Just my 2 cents.

I respectfully disagree. Experts can still learn things. Just because you're an expert it doesn't mean you know everything there is to know. That's why you see academics continually doing new courses. Or teachers of certain skills still going to classes. Everyone has a different point of view or style about how they do or see things. It can be applied to anything in life. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. Anyone who thinks they can never learn anything new is not someone you ever want to learn from.

BTW - I've never been called PC before. It might be the only thing that offends me

In looking through the portal rankings, I find that there are many sites with the exact same GPWA Traffic Rank. Examples:









Many multiples at rank 837, 501, 215, etc etc etc.

I am curious of your opinion, as an AM, what exactly constitutes a "super-affiliate"?

[allfreechips]

I think your all Super! and we all get a participation super badge , Sorry in the US were not allowed to give kids trophies for success anymore, everyone is a winner, or SUPER!! congrats!

[Triple7]

I do agree the value people are giving to an opinion may differ. That's why Gary Lineker does football game analytics and not Britney Spears. But I do not think many affiliates are willing to provide too much details to GPWA, leave alone proving that details with evidence.

Just saw this morning that the Miss America pageant is no longer doing swimsuit and evening gown competitions. Contestants are not to be judged based on their looks. Instead they will base decisions on participants "social-impact policies".

Yeah... what a brave new world. Aren't you excited? Everyone is a special snow-flake! But no one is allowed to actually be recognized for being above average/special because it hurts other people's feelings.

Up to the Olympics where everybody gets the gold medal. No matter if you did the marathon in a bit more than 2 hours or in 2 days.

[Sherlock]

But in fact that snow-flake world is "just" a social construct that is making the top players even more valuable. The best are still the best and they just cost even more.

All this annoying blabbering in the end make the border between people stiffer and not softer. It is just not allowed to talk about it or in a way to think about it.

This fight against objectification of women is as silly as fight against gambling. The purpose of gambling is risking the money in a game of losers. The purpose of sexual desire of men is the objectification.

So the gamblers who will want to lose their money without limits will do so, just at worse casinos.
The guys who want the real women will just compete more for less women who are ok or even enjoy being objectified.
(For example (my observation): At social events of the highest class the biggest difference compared to gathering of normal folks is not hectolitres of champagne for free, but the behavior of women. They have a zero problem "just" to smile, wearing nice dress and be a complement of the businessmen. They are the objects and they are not depressed with the deal, because of course they have no bad life, even when they must follow somebody and keep shining. Yes, it is a more complex thing, there are also women, who are in business and not the object there, but I hope you get my point.)

So with the gentle approach to snow-flakes in reality nothing changes. Just (with the brutal language of right wing economy) the relative prices are shifted. I believe this narrative to protect everybody against everything is here exactly to divide the society and leave the majority exposed and humiliated. It is like denying to children to be in contact with bacterias and other toxic elements. It is known that the result of such behavior of parents is unhealthy (****** up immunity, alergies).
