    Lightbulb Starting a new Casino Affiliate Site - Ups and Downs

    Hello guys, I thought I would document life starting up a new casino affiliate site given it's already been an interesting couple of weeks! I am slowly looking to move away from sports affiliates given the troubles we're all seeing with the likes of GVC and now Betway, so a casino site it is.

    I'll look to update this thread every few days on the journey from just the domain (compareUKcasino) to a full site.

    Currently 2 weeks in I have got quite a few operators on board (there are a LOT of casinos out there aren't there!) and already a couple of interested Skype messages including this one out of the blue, from an AM who I have never met:
    "Hello. Hope you are doing well.
    We offer you 250$CPA or hybrid deal of : 150$CPA+30% resvahre or even 50% revshare.
    In order to start our partnership , please create your account in our aff platfrom"

    Seems there are a lot of aggressive AMs in the casino sector and a lot of brands to choose from.

    My Easter weekend will be spent writing content and trying to add to my 5 organic visitors so far

    ups are its handy to have in off season for sports, and also emergencies like the current one, downs is that google is slower than ever at ranking sites, even good ones with good content and good link profile, so expect 12-24 months before you see a decent return (if your lucky) but if you already have another money maker then worth doing for sure.

    Yes I'm not expecting huge numbers anytime soon but I do have the sports site as a constant revenue stream to keep me going. I'll be looking to go no profit for 6 months on the casino site so hopefully a few players can be brought in to fund a wave of content, SEO, ads etc.

    I have to agree with wonderpunter - it will take over 12 months to see any good results.

    I also have a question, how guy with UK traffic as doing as they have banned on the ALbion depositing with CC/ DC.

    What is the activity of your players and what depositing methods they are using by far ?

    At the moment credit card banning isn't the problem. No live sport is!

    I wonder too. Having a decrease in UK for the past year and i guess now it will be much stronger.

    It's not even just CC, but also ewallets with CC. So really not sure how it will go.

    The offers you mentioned are good to start with, my best advise is to track your tracking as much as possible.
    Do not expect to make loads of revenue soon ( like mentioned here 12-24 months ) but the more you inspect now, learn your traffic, its needs, the community you build and its profile - the better it will be for the long term.

    Another small tip, having a site is just step 1, its never ends with a website only and you need to be ready for more content needed, more time to invest and more funds to put into the business.

    And mot important - good luck

    It's hugely competitive and you'll probably have to work for years, sacrifice alot and make tons of mistakes along the way.. but if you have the fire in your belly for it and plenty of patience then i'm sure you can do well, good luck with it!

    I read it. I'm not 100% convinced at the implications of the graphs. I don't know if there's a causality between the domain age vs. speed of ranking, per se. I guess, a reasonable person would understand that it's more than the age of the domain, but the reason why it's been around, and the authority that comes with being in that niche for so long.

    It was interesting. As a side note, shref's service was identical to moz.com in both price and offerings. Exactly the same pricing, scheme and perceived value. Both seem valuable resources.

    What would you prefer?

    Earning a good salary every year - let's say around $60-70k USD

    or...

    Starting an affiliate site and not getting anywhere close to that, but working for yourself and being your own boss?

    It seems most of the affiliates aren't bringing in much money, yet spending quite a bit in links, tech etc etc.

    I've already got a sports site that generates my income. I would not be starting a casino site if I didn't have any other income for sure. This will be a side venture and hopefully, eventually, it will allow me to move away from sports.

    From my personal experience, you can rank already in 3-6 months. Within a year you can establish a foothold in the niche. Or you can go 2 years without getting close to Google page 1. Depends on the pace with which you do things.

    Of course, since you're targeting the UK casino niche it will be more difficult and will take a longer time. Even if you're clever with your choice of keywords.

    You need to do a lot of link building in every way possible. I only see three good links so far, so try focusing on that.

    Good luck with this, tho I must say it will take a lot to rank for competitive kws, unless you have a huge budget to spend on links.
