Question About Advertising (I'm new) - Poker Affiliate World - Poker Affiliate Programs Discussion and Forums

Hello Everyone, I'm a new affiliate for partypoker. I just got my first signup last month from partypoker and the feeling of getting into something big that can make me money is great. I wanted some tips on advertising. A friend of mine told me a great place to advertise is on the amazon book reviews, I see some fellow affiliates doing that right now on the Supersystem, Harrington, and the other books. Does this get signups because It looks like it beats handing out flyers in the city or the bookstore. What about google adwords?

Thanks

For example I've been seeing the following for the last month on amazon on and off Link To Reviews

Amazing Book - Try PartyPOKER!, June 7, 2005
Reviewer: Try PartyPoker.Com - $25 Bonus With Code "DELL25" (TeamFu.FreeShell.Org) - See all my reviews
A great Book by Dan harrington. A true Poker Specialist. A NL master takes you into the mind of a tourney player.

The people who put their bonus codes into Amazon reviews .. not only are you violating Amazons terms of use, but you are violating Party Pokers terms of use as well. You may get away with it for a while, but if Party Poker catches you, say goodbye to your players. And in terms of Google Adwords, Google disallows any types of ads that link to pages with gambling advertisements on them..

I dont think this is allowed, I think it is on pp affiliate page where it says DONT TRY. I would not try it not worth the risk.

Someone was posting on this forum a couple of weeks ago, and said Party closed their affiliate account for advertising on Amazon. Not worth the risk!

What about posting a link to a website that has your affiliate links, but not posting a bonus code...
Say saying something just along the lines of poating a real review and at the end stating...
This review brought to you by www.Gotbonus.com.
No mention of poker or affiliate information, just the link, i am thinking still not a good idea...but thought i would ask.

Not worth it, why risk it?

Yeah, It has been going on for over a year on and off but usually for pokerroom. I report the pokerroom guy all the time and he keeps doing it.

bfuchs -
I see one of the biggest(?) Party affiliates writes codes in that site. Strange when the guy is in the top on almost every party search at the search engines.

maybe someone try do get his account closed at p?

I was referring to the pokerroom guy, damn I see the partypoker posts, obvious blatent attempt to get him banned. This pokerroom guy always posts 24/7 I have emails going back for over a year yet he still does it. In all fairness to pokerroom they always ask to hear your side of the story first and they are a big site. PartyPoker always puts you as the enemy first. I'd rather have a site that protects you and takes your side rather than the other.......

My understanding is the amazon spammer is NOT teamfu, despite the spammer using his URL how it is used.
