As an experienced online poker player, you have undoubtedly scored a sweet rakeback deal. Perhaps you have taken it further and signed up as an affiliate with some online poker rooms so that you can be a rakeback provider yourself. But, alas, you are still not the big dog you want to be. What you need is to sign up players to fatten your bankroll. Here’s how you do it.
There are several ways to skin a cat, and this is also true of operating a successful rakeback business. The way that I will discuss today, briefly, is driving traffic to your website through search engine optimization. This means that you will set up a website, build links to your site, and sign up new poker players under your affiliate accounts.
The first thing that you want to look at is your website itself. The actual content on your site will play a major role in how the search engines rank your website. This may seem obvious, but there are a ton of sites out there with duplicate content, irrelevant content, or even no content at all. Don’t be one of these sites. Add unique content, including your main keywords, and you will see an instant improvement in search engine rankings.
The next step is a less obvious one. Unfortunately it is also a much more time consuming one. Building links that point to your website from related sites and pages. There are several ways to build links and I will outline just a few below.
1. Submitting To Directories – Submit your website to directories and gain more one way links from pages with similar links in their content. These links are not difficult to secure. What’s more, they are free.
2. Social Bookmarking Your Site – Gain more one way links to your rakeback site by bookmarking your website on the social bookmarking sites. You can also drive targeted traffic if you place tags on the site appropriately so that others searching for those tags will find you. This is also free.
3. Leaving Blog Comments – Leave your comments on other’s blogs and generate some nice high quality links. Of prime importance is to leave comments related to the actual post you are commenting on rather than generic spam. Such comments will be posted more often and will get more links for your rakeback site.
4. Article Directory Submissions – Write and submit articles to article directories, publishers, mailing lists and blogs to generate a substantial amount of one way links to your site. These are great links as they are coming from an original article that you wrote. It is essential that the page be highly relevant to your topic and the anchor text is precisely of your choosing.
Building links to your rakeback website will drive much needed traffic to your site and give the site invaluable improvements in search engine results pages. This is exactly what you need to encourage more sign ups on your website and more money in your wallet. Good for you! Now don’t go blow your newfound funds at the sports book.
