Greetings! Advice needed.

[Casinoprisen]

Dear colleague players and affiliate gurus,

I have started a rather ambitious project in Denmark. As a poker player I am experienced to say the least, but I am worried that it is not going to help me a lot as an affiliate. Do you know if anyone has ever made something like a check up list to what elements a well performing affiliate site should include? As of now, my website has pretty much nothing there other than texts and a couple affiliate links.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Being a professional poker player will help you at least be good at business but for everything else you will have to learn.

It is not easy coming up with just a basic checklist that you can just follow and be on the path to success. How you start things and your strategy will greatly influence whether you will be successful or not.

Thanks for your reply. I understand you, however I am thinking that affiliates must have experience with what they do, and that there probably are a lot of do's and dont's within the community

[Casinoprisen]

I just checked out your website, and it turns out there are quite a lot of interesting stuff on there, like the article with Marius Filip You seem like quite the guru yourself! I am going to read your start up guide now.

It's easier to share your site or ideas to get feedback unless you are concerned your ideas would be used by someone else.

There is a lot to learn and you could spend every day reading but always better to do something, get content up and get feedback.

I agree with you. My website is http://casinoprisen.dk/ - but as you can see, I only have the texts ready and a couple affiliate links. There is no traffic, but my friend will help me with Google. The site is completely open for new inputs and at the moment I am doing my best to gather inspiration from other English sites. My site is Danish, so I don't think people will mind if I let myself inspire

Hi,

I'm not an affiliate myself, but we do work with a lot of affiliates who want to launch casino white-labels, and a big part of their success is having very good SEO strategies in place (allowing them to rank highly for relevant keywords on their niche) and wider networks of interconnected affiliate sites boosting their ranking.

Its simply a case of asking people the write questions people will always try assist you so here is a good starting point why not draft a lsit of questions you think you need answers to and ask them and let people reply im sure after a few replies you'll soon get the idea of if this is for you or not .. This game isn't easy but there are many successful guys out there that can shed some light on your difficult questions ..

Just to make sure, CasinoPrisen...we're talking about casinoprisen.dk here, right? And how to approach building it up.

Hi,

I can possibly help you out with some advise, couple of questions - are you solely going after poker players or are you wanting casino and slots too? Your site implies casino to start with.

With regards to Poker, attracting players of the size to earn decent money at a site other than pokerstars which most people have already is challenging.

Drop me a message and we can discuss.

[Casinoprisen]

Yes, chaumi, that is correct

[Casinoprisen]

Thatnks for your words here! I am looking to target all of the above. Slots, poker, blackjack and roulette. Denmark is a small country, so my ambitions are big

[Casinoprisen]

I just made my signature here, so I guess it was just a matter of time before I got authorized to insert my link to my website. Sorry for stressing

[gaffg]

Not easy mixing all of the gambling topics into one especially casino and poker. The site implies it is more casino focused so best to stick to one unless you want to try the generic gambling topic which most here might not recommend

[chaumi]

I'd tend to agree with Gaffg on the poker side...unless what you really mean are the casino poker variants. Casiniprisen.dk should of course be able to cover all of the casino related subjects.

I'd suggest take some time at the start to plan structure, covering everything is a big task. Planning now will help down the line.

For example - Slots......How to play, where to play, slots types, slots software, slots tournaments, progressives, etc etc etc.

Take a look at Wonderpunter' site Casinowhizz as an example of a recently created site that will show what you might want to aspire to.....https://www.gpwa.org/forum/how-build-casino-traffic-brand-new-site-journal-225747.html?

This is the type of content you need to be aiming for. If the competition is not great in Danish language you may not have to do it so well, if the competition is strong already you will at least need to match their quality and probably better it.

Either way the initial focus is on building the best site you can - design, structure, presentation, content. And along the way you'll need to learn about on and off page SEO, design techniques, calls to action etc

[chaumi]

...and some brief comments on what you have so far.....

I can't understand Danish...so we'll assume it's well written and grammatically correct (this will be important for your readers of course and search engines).

Right now you have a lot of text that probably won't get read. That's not to say it's not valuable, but readers will probably skim it and baulk at reading long paragraphs. Suggest consider breaking the paragraphs up further and using more media - images, video - interspersed with the text.

If you work on structure for each area you want to cover - for example your high level page on roulette could feed into various sub pages covering other aspects of roulette - then you also create opportunities to introduce internal (in content) links between pages.

@Gaffg - I assume the competition in the generic field is pretty hardcore then in English. Most Danish affiliate sites target multiple niches, and I decided my profile through the keyword planner to make sure I will get the most traffic. I understand it will be harder to rank on all niches, but if others can do it - so can I I hope

@Chaumi - thanks for the feedbcak and your thoughts! I really appreciate it! You got me thinking a bit harder on the whole setup. I like your idea regarding making sub-pages

Html5 and CSS education are important!
