Hows business been for all you poker and casino affiliates this month? Good or bad? Lots of player sign ups?

[matted]

It's been pretty bad for new signups most of this year. Only the residuals carrying me through. I've given up on checking stats more than once or twice per month. I'm working now for the day when the legal environment improves.

Doing ok and hanging in. Players are still playing. Like matted, I definately feel like I'm in limbo waiting for the legal front to evolve.

Lots of signups - but only about 20% get around to depositing.

However, residuals are good - and the month looks like setting a couple of highwater marks at 2-3 of our clients ... and is well above median levels overall.

So this month would be rated a solid 8/10.

Same boat as the rest. Residuals have been great and I'm looking at a month close to last month, which was one of my best months ever. Problem is with both traffic and new depositors. Traffic has been slow, partially because Google has been all over the place. Second reason being that players just aren't signing up as much as they did a few months ago, for obvious reasons. I plan on doing an update to my site soon, so I hope that helps a bit.

Well it seems that most affiliates are feeling the same crunch. I am only making money off residuals from a few of my customers at only 2 of my affiliate programs now for the last 3 months. Income is almost nothing compared to what it was this time last year. I have lots of hits, a few downloads and no depositors. At Vegas Partners for the month here are my stats so far:

373 hits
12 downloads
1 guest
0 Real
0 Deposits

I mean, what else can you do? With 373 hits and 12 downloads, I would think I might have gotten at least 1 depositing player. I just hopes this get better.

VP is a scourge IMHO. consider your sponsors and act accordingly. best advice a non-SEOer can give.

really. ......VP sucks IMHO.

ps, this sound familiar? you started off pretty good with them. gave more exposure ..... then slowly saw income drop?


I'd bet my right big toe i'm right.

My month so far is about average - post crisis No complaints, I'm hanging in there...

The reason I'm posting in this thread is that stats have been fairly slow this month and then today - wow! It's like everyone woke up and decided to visit casinos.

Must be the mess that Google has been perpetuating.

This month is good for me, I don't check all aff programs, but I have sign ups and players as usual. Regarding Vegas Partner I removed them several months ago except Crazy Poker. I had 170-200 downloads every month there and no real players at all, it's a mystic! I think the main reason of such bad conversion is in their downloads, I tried to download several their casinos and it took me more than 15-20 minutes (I have the fastest connection!!), if I'd be a player I wouldn't wait so long.

Yep, you are absolutely right!! When I first started promoting them, I had good income, but in the last year, it has been almost nil. I have all these hits and downloads and not 1 purchaser now for months. I think it might be time to consider dropping them as well. I think I need to give my site a thorough cleaning, getting rid of all the "garbage" programs that are sucking us dry.

this month is down from april for me. the industry seems to be changing so rapidly these days it is tough to decide which programs to promote the most, so i end up changing things around on my sites fairly often.
