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...]
