making money

[Lee]

If you have a casino site that is getting a good amount of traffic, what is the best way to make money from it?
Do you set it up to promote one affiliate program, and include information about that casino on your site, or information about casino games?
Do you have multiple affiliate programs on your site?
Could people please let me know what they have experienced?
Thanks

It's pretty much a good business practice, in any business, to not put "all your eggs in one basket".

Gambling Portals, by design, are portals to many casinos and aff programs; the more aff programs you run, the less chance of losing everything in a month AND the higher chance you'll make more money.

If you're serious about making money in this business, running a site for just one casino is incredibly risky. Running a casino front should only be done after you've learned how to market online casinos, thru a portal. My opinion only.

Good advice and to expand it.

If you can't or don't know how to make $$$ promoting 'theirs' with all the great marketing support and creatives they give you to use, free, you can assume that promoting your own from scratch may be a herculean and expensive task with any kind of rewards way down a very bumpy road.

Another bit of advice. Use forums like these to distinguish between the good apples and the bad apples. The last thing you want to do is refer someone to a shark operator and put them off online gambling for life.

So while its a good idea to not put all your eggs in one basket, don't sign up for every program under the sun. Do a fair bit of research before you decide.

Hi,
I would like to add to these very wise words, that if you are getting decent traffic from either a reputable PPC (pay per click search engine) or from qualified keyword traffic from free search engines (example being keyword "video poker" ) and you are not making money ....

Dump the sponsor casinos you have listed in your prime spots; come here and find a different quality sponsor to take the place.

Whether you're being ripped-off or the sponsor isn't producing results: under those conditions you should be making money - so if you're not, dump them.

Don't waste a lot of time and money trying to make something happen that isn't coming easy. Because once you reach the above desired conditions of bringing targeted quality traffic together with a quality sponsor (casino) .... = income!

piece of cake.
