You seem to have vast technical & historical knowledge, as well as decent business insight.
Yet the only sites I've seen of yours were almost as poorly done as my own.

You are a good contributor to this community as far as I can tell, but you baffle me as a human being quite frankly.

"You seem to have vast technical & historical knowledge, as well as decent business insight."

I should hope so. marketing has been my profession for like 20 years dude. let's connect... https://www.linkedin.com/in/niallogribin/

You are no slouch marketing yourself sir. I see what you do and are capable of.

"Yet the only sites I've seen of yours were almost as poorly done as my own."

I am no designer! Not sure why you are "picking on my sites" (boo hoo! =) ), I thought my latest one (CasinoDepositBonus.com) was was shaping out nicely compared to the rest!

those sites are just little side projects which i have no time fore tbh, as I work full-time for a pretty ******* big super-affiliate group... The sites on my profile are just little side-projects/flippers/sandboxes for me to play with stuff and experiment, as there is nothing like first hand experience in terms of technical aspects of marketing. fwiw I have been in consulting for like 10 years.. making deece $ without needing to worry about building aff sites. I used to grind poker all day for years too.. free money, no affil marketing...

not sure what the point of this thread is, but now that you know a little more about me, I hope you can sleep at night, a little less baffled dude

p.s Happy xmas brooooo

Yeah, I'd seen your linkdin, it reads well and looks impressive. Unfortunately, I don't use linkdin for anything... it seems like a waste of time to me.

I did say that your sites were better than mine so... lol.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you also bro.

Oh and lastly:

You are no slouch marketing yourself sir. I see what you do and are capable of.

That is nice of you to say, but I disagree. I think I'm awful at marketing and running websites in general. I sincerely wish there were a more competent person/people to do the marketing, employee management, webwork, etc instead of me.

I imagine the websites could make 2-3x as much as they currently do with people who knew what they were doing.
