Just wondering on how soon would you add affiliate links to a casino site? Many believe if you have casino reviews up and no aff links you might lose the odd customer, but is it best to have a solid reader base before putting up aff links?

Cheers!

…or the flip side is you’ve done a great job of explaining the casino and the visitor is like ‘how do I sign up’ and there’s no link! Get them on asap I’d say.

The sooner, the better. Of course, it’s ideal to have a solid reader base, but building that partly comes from giving people reasons to keep coming back. If, like Golfbettingsystem mentioned, you have a great casino review but no clear sign-up options, your visitor will go elsewhere to complete that step (and you will have lost that commission). That person might come back or find another site that offers the info and the direct link in one place. You want to be that all-in-one resource and encourage smooth conversions.

The only reason to not put up affiliate links straight away is if they don't yet have an affiliate program. I get why you might want to publish without links, but you'd be losing out on potential clicks, which is why you would have published in the first place. The user just wants to be able to click through, not click away and then restart the journey.

I do it immediatley I know there is a myth about aff links low rankings etc.. i have a different opinion,. the top ranking keywords all have aff links right?

[Pokerface]

I always add immediately as soon as the links are available. I never use links sent to me by AM's, I always take them from the account directly and verify them.

[PaulEchere]

As many have pointed out already, I don't see any reasons to not have affiliate links on a brand review page if the review page is ready and is accurate.

I post it right away, marking it as nofollow and sponsored. I stick to the principle - the easier it is for search engines, the better.

Use plugins like Prettylink to manage your affiliate links a lot easier. There, you can also track both total clicks and unique clicks on the links. In there, you can also set your links to nofollow, so they wont pass any link juice, which make inbound links essentially more powerful (debate me on this, anyone

If you have no operators to work with once you launch, it could be a good idea to add some anyway, but with the normal url, until you can replace them with the "real" partners. Since it's a newly launched site anyway, there chances of you sending any FTD's is too low anyway.

Signal to Google that you are actually comparing casinos rather than having a comparison website without any casinos could be bad practice.

Yes or use htaccess to create your own links if it’s a html site.

[CasinosBroker]

Immediately - as soon as links are available.

Hi there!
If you're talking about the freshly launched website it's better to put the aff links ASAP since the traffic can grow quickly and you don't want to miss out on the first potential FTD's.

I believe it’s essential to add affiliate links as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more potential you lose in terms of conversions. Once your content is live, whether it’s a blog, review, or any other form of traffic-driving content, inserting affiliate links right away maximizes the opportunity to monetize that traffic. Immediate link placement allows for consistent tracking, helps in optimizing conversion rates, and aligns with the first-touch engagement when the audience is most interested. The quicker you get your affiliate links up, the faster you can start analyzing performance, tweaking your approach, and optimizing for better ROI.

Plus, adding affiliate links early ensures that you’re not missing out on organic traffic that comes in soon after you post. This is especially true for time-sensitive events like IPL or seasonal trends, where traffic spikes can be captured by having those links active from day one.

I usually add affiliate links right away, with a short description of the casino's key features (license, welcome bonus, payment methods, restricted countries, etc). At the same time I work on a more detailed review in parallel.
I find this approach optimal because it allows me to monetize early traffic while already giving readers useful info.

[Casinosti]

Add them right away, you never know

[Pokerface]

I have taken a different approach in past few months. Until accounts are approved with tracking links traffic is being redirected to other programs. Certainly helps in speeding things up with the programs in many cases when they know - no free traffic! LOL

Just had a little look, seems like you've come a long way since when you posted this. I'm a new member here, How's it all going?

[Jalleje]

It really comes down to priorities. If you're happy with the product and traffic has started coming in, there's no reason to wait, just go for it. There's no downside from an SEO perspective imo, the only drawback is that negotiating takes time. And once you have some traffic, you're in a stronger position to negotiate a better deal anyway.

[Freeskinshub]

Right away, as long as I have an affiliate link.

[casinobonusguy]

Immediately otherwise I will forget lol !
