Losing weight, getting fit and trying to stop smoking

October 15, 2011 By GerryPolt Leave a Comment

So it’s been about 8 months since I posted on here. So while checking on the websites I have kind of forgot about I remembered my affiliate blog and thought I better make a blog post to try and freshen it up abit. I’m not making any promises that I’m going to be updating more regularly as that will probably be a promise I will break. But I’ll make sure I post here again before I hit the 8 month mark again.

So what have I been upto the last 8 months?

Improving my Poker News website?

The main thing I have been trying to do is increase the the quility, traffic and income on PokerNewsBoy.com. If any one else runs a news site instead of a normal static bonus site they’ll be able to tell you there is alot more [Read more...]

IGB Awards, PNB Awards, $10k Freerolls and PokerSpace partnership..

December 21, 2010 By GerryPolt Leave a Comment

I usually start a post by apologizing for not updating this blog often enough. This time I’m not going to bother. I’ve decided I’ll update when I have the time or when there is something I want to share. I might even see if I can get some affiliate friends to do guest posts, to actually add some value to this site. Which is currently just me rambling on about nothing that important or helpful.

However, lets get to what everyone wants to read. The important updates:

1. First thing I want to do is thank everyone who voted PNB in the IGB Affiliate Awards. PNB made the final cut in the Best Newcomer (Affiliate) category. So now it’s down to the last 10, I better start preparing [Read more...]

New Baby, News House and other new stuff…

October 10, 2010 By GerryPolt 1 Comment

As usual, I usually can’t find the time to write in this blog, or can’t be bothered. But I thought I had put an update off long enough. There has been a few things happening recently. So the easiest thing to do would be go through everything one thing at a time. Might be easier to read and I’m sure will be easier to write.

1. New Baby

So on the 13th of September I had my second child, a baby girl. That’s now two girls, Mia and Kara. Kara was a monster 10″3 when she was born, and if you don’t know much about weight’s of babies when they are born, well thats pretty big. So far Kara has been great, apart from the odd sleepless night, but otherwise she has been great.

2. New House

Long awaited update

August 18, 2010 By GerryPolt Leave a Comment

Sorry to the 3 people who visit this site, and bother to read any of my ramblings, who have been waiting for a new post. I would like to say I have been real busy, but the honest answer is I have been really lazy recently. That and the fact I have became addicted to Football Manager Live again. If you value your time, please don’t try this game, you will lose days.

So what have I been upto? The honest answer is nothing much. I have been doing some work on a few other projects and been working more on the small changes and preparing for the official launch of the Poker Forum on PNB. This will hopefully be this Monday to co-inside with PokerNewsBoy.com being officially 1 year old. The Forum will be mostly News based, but will also contain some info on the league that will soon start and the staking section too. Hopefully add section as the forum increases, but it will be mostly Poker News related. [Read more...]

Ups and Downs of the last 2 weeks.

April 12, 2010 By GerryPolt Leave a Comment

The last 2 weeks have been a bit of a roller coaster ride for me and my projects, and just my life in general. This is probably my main excuse for no blog posts for a few weeks and the fact I was being lazier than usual.

First was the great news of bring Kevin in on the mix on PNB, which has been great for me and PokerNewsBoy. Kevin will be a real asset for PNB and I’m sure will take the site to the next level. This also generated extra funds, so we have a new template that should be complete any day now. I have to thank Eduardo (Eyenod) for that. He has been really great through the whole process, even putting up with my overeagerness and everything else that comes when you deal with me. I’m sure Eduardo will agree, it can be a struggle just putting up with me, never mind anything else. So hopefully you will see the results from all Eduardo’s hard work in the coming week.

Next was the inclusion in google news. This was something I looked into near the start of PokerNewsBoy. unfortunately the first 2 times I tried I was unsuccessful, due to [Read more...]

Reason we are poker affiliates and not poker players.

March 10, 2010 By GerryPolt 6 Comments

To be 100% honest, I think I am talking about 90% of poker affiliates here, and myself also included. If you want to reply saying I am a good Poker Player as well as a Poker Affiliate, your in the 10%. That should save any arguments.

Now that the excuse statement has been made, I can get to the point. As probably most poker affiliates, I like to play poker. Although like playing poker and being good at poker are two different things. The reason I actually got into Poker Affiliating was because I went bust playing poker, and was looking for some fast cash to get back in the game. That was my first mistake, their was no fast cash. However, it did get me hooked on Poker Affiliating. [Read more...]

Brain Storming

February 22, 2010 By GerryPolt Leave a Comment

As mentioned before, I’m starting a new project, my Poker Rankings website, and have been going through a brain storming session. When I say brain storming, I actually mean working out exactly whats going to go into the site, what pages I want, what keywords I’ll be targeting, and the navigation of the site.

Now that I have finished with what I’ll be needing and where it will be going, I am left with a site that will need 200 pages just to get started. Great. What happened to the idea of building mini sites. But I’m glad I got that sorted and now know what is needed content wise, and how much it’s going to cost me content wise. Although I will be writing most of the content, I just can’t face writing player profiles and Poker Site reviews. [Read more...]

Not into looking for domains

February 22, 2010 By GerryPolt Leave a Comment

This is my first post, so I thought it would be a good idea why I have started an Poker Affiliate Blog. Unlike most of the Poker Affiliate Blogs that you find on the Internet, I don’t think I am great at Poker Affiliating, nor have I made a ton of money. God, I still need to sell links just to keep my main site running.

The reason I decided to start this Poker Affiliate Blog is because I have just signed up to Register Hosting. And after paying out for a years hosting, the nice people at Register gave me 3 Free Domains. So I did what any successful Poker Affiliate would do and i spent many hour looking to see if I could find the best 3 domains that are still available. Actually I didn’t.

Instead of actually putting in some research I did what I usually do and pick the first 3 domains I can think of that are available. Hence, PokerAffiliateSites.net. I also took PokerSitesDirect.com and InternetPokerDirect.com. Please don’t ask me why I choose those domains, as honestly I have no idea. Except for [Read more...]
