As I stated in an announcement today that "Links to GPWA member portal sites now use https when appropriate."

So, for today's poll I ask whether or not you take advantage of the fact that the GPWA provided links to member portal sites. Do we currently link to all of your sites, some of them, or none of them?

The GPWA website ranks pretty highly in Google and other search engines, so including your sites in the directory can be a good move from an SEO perspective. And since we want to link to member sites, the links are probably the easiest quality links for you to arrange.

If you would like us to link to more of them, it's easy. I invite all GPWA members to update their list of associated websites. You can review your list of websites either on your member page or by visiting the “My Portal Sites” page under “My Account” in the top navigation when logged into the GPWA website. If you have a new website that you would like added, simply follow the instructions on the “My Portal Sites” page to let us know.

Speaking for myself, I realize that there are a bunch of sites I don't currently have listed. Mostly small sites, but there are over 100 of them. So you can guess what I'll be doing on that front. I have major sites like CasinoCity.com and online.casinocity.com listed, but not the 100+ country-specific sites like CasinoCity.ie or CasinoCity.nz right now. So, while the sites I have listed represent perhaps 80% of the web traffic across sites I'm affiliated with, in the poll I'd need to say less than 20% are listed right now. So I'm not going to vote in the poll until I fix that.
