PokerJunkie drops AP

No 1 in SERPs for AP on google, suspended promoting them. With the number of hits they must be getting that's a big decision. Hmmm.

They're owned by Pokerlistings.

ahhh - you learn something new every day.

Also I was looking at UK results - they're 4th on worldwide SERPs.

PokerJunkie.com is one of the many pokerlistings sites. It was promoted very heavily during the period when PokerListings had a -950 Google penalty at the start of the year.

Absolute Poker - Suspended due to payment issues
PokerListings.com has temporarily suspended the listing of the Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet poker rooms as a result of serious problems with both historical and current payments due PokerListings for services rendered. We are aware that our decision not to list these two brands may be an inconvenience, but as a trusted guide and resource, we do not believe it is appropriate to continue listing them.
Sincerely,

advertising fee or affiliate commission problem ?

ap/ub/chip leader in my opinion have obviously been stealing to cover overhead and are in financial distress. I have told people on a forum i run to pull their money out while they still can.

A large affiliate like pokerlistings etc does not make this move without thinking it through.

up/ap/chipleader may have gone so far as to lay people off or tell them to not work for several months etc in order to cut over head and that is the reason that we have not heard form the AM's till just today... cause they were hired back or told to come back from unpaid leave etc...

Who knows what is going on... I have worked with far to many dotcom's and seen all sorts of funny financing and maneuvers to not see the writing on the wall.

in my opinion its to late. they have already done to much damage... and the only way to correct that damage is to over pay the affiliates etc and give them a reason to start promoting again.
