I'm very pleased to report the tenth issue of the GPWA Times Magazine will be available at the BAC Conference in Budapest this week September 10-13 and at the EiG conference in Copenhagen next week September 15-17.
GPWA Times Magazine - Tenth Issue Cover
In this issue we feature a cover story about all things Calvin - Calvin Ayre, that is, and his new role with Bodog. Rebecca Liggero met with Calvin in Antigua, where he revealed his plans for the reincarnation of the Bodog brand. Then she interviewed thee of the major players who will make it happen: Keith McDonnell, Bodog Europe and Bodog Canada; Alwyn Morris, Mohawk Gaming Group, Bodog's U.S.-facing licensee; and Ian Dunning, Haydock Entertainment, Bodog's Asia-facing licensee.
A feature story by SEO guru Gary Beal shows us how Google geographical targeting can enhance your presence in today's hypercompetitive marketplace. Andrew Mueller weighs in with five good reasons to use the Affiliate Guard Dog's payment calculator. Plus J.Todd adds a new inductee to the APCW wall of shame.
Plus this issue also has a very special online poker section. Vin Narayanan takes us into the over-the-top world of poker nightlife on the Strip during the WSOP. Jeremy Enke offers poker affiliates useful tips on growing their business in the current economy. Gary Trask takes a look at why online poker is so big in the U.S. And Karim Wilkins gives us the back story on rakeback.
Rounding out this issue are some terrific interviews with affiliates and affiliate managers. There are affiliate interviews with GPWA members giggles7p from Connecticut, Kazak from Russia, OnlineBingoClub from Amsterdam, QwertyCasino from the U.K. and vmlinuz from Transylvania. And there are affiliate manager interviews with Fredrik Wadstein of Buzzluck, Matthew Glazier of bet365, Nicolas Johnson of Regal Affiliates and Tanya Littlefield of Everest Affiliates.
