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 step is to take a good look at your website. The site’s content is paramount to how the search engines will rank it. Obviously, you say. But be aware that there are a number of websites out there with duplicate content, meaningless content or worst of all, no content. Do not let that be your website. Fill your site with unique content along with your main keywords to gain instant improvement in search engine rankings.
Now that that is done, you need to take on the less obvious and more time consuming task of building the links that will point to your website from relevant sites and pages. Here are a few ways to do just that.
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. Bookmarking Your Website – When you bookmark your website at the social bookmarking sites, you rapidly gain even more of those one-way links to your rakeback site. It’s also possible to drive some targeted traffic to the site if you tag the site appropriately to attract others who are seeking those tags. Again, these links are at no cost to you.
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.
