Nice site layout but not a big fan of your domain name. Hard to remember!

I always cringe when someone new asks for a site review.

I prepare myself for the worst but with your site I was pleasantly surprised e888.

Pros:

1. Very simple, easy on the eyes, mostly white design......perfect.

2. Not too many blinking banner distractions. Right on.

3. A descent first attempt at supplying useful content to your visitors now....... and in the future.

You're already 80% ahead of most new poker affiliates.

Very nice start. You obviously understand some of the basics needed for success.

Cons:

There are many I'm afraid.

1. What is poker 286?..... is the number 286 significant in some way? Excuse me if I'm wrong.... I'm old.

2. What is your site about?......Seriously?

Just poker in general? There is no way you can compete with the thousands of general poker sites on the net. It just can't be done this late in the game. You must find a niche you can dominate.

A good example is NewPokerGirls http://www.smallstakestexasholdem.com/

She's targeting small stakes players and could conceivably attract a very large female cult following that she can then market services and products to forever.... as long as she keeps them coming back to her site with a kick-ass newsletter and friendly, informative forum. wink....wink

That's nicheing....... you must fine a small niche in the poker world that you can dominate.

3. "i did not known how to seo"...... you have to learn basic SEO.

Question: What software are you using to build your site?

You don't even have description and keyword tags.

Your title tag is..... Poker sites - Reviews of the best online poker sites

You'll never get traffic to your site this way.

No traffic = no money.

4. Why are all the links on your links page automotive in nature?

I'm dazed and confused about that one...... just when I thought you kinda know what you're doing!....lol

Sorry e888.... I don't mean to discourage you at all.

And you don't need to abandon all your hard work so far........ just change it around a bit.

My humble recommendations:

1. You must find a poker niche that interests you and that gets a descent amount of search engine queries each month with not to much competition. They are hard to find these days but they do still exist if you hunt for them.

Then configure your site design and content for that niche. It wont be that hard and real results.... aka sign ups and money will show up soon.

Newbie Tip:

Last I checked the keyword term "lose at poker why" got 3000+ searches per month with very little competition.

Might be worth targeting.....be creative....teach them why......a new customer who respects you and trusts you for life!.... priceless.

2. And that leads into my next recommendation.

With all the competition in the online poker world today...... every visitor to your site, especially if it's less than 100 visitors per day must be treated like gold....... DO NOT LET THEM LEAVE YOUR SITE WITHOUT GETTING THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS FOR A NEWSLETTER OR GETTING THEM TO JOIN YOUR FORUM

This is the the key to your future success......or any success.

In fact it's the only way I can conceive of that new poker affiliates can make any money in this day and age.

You have to standout from the crowd.

Supply something....anything.... they can't find anywhere else.

And keep them coming back for more.

Ignore the gaudy link in my sig. Those are advanced traffic strategies.

Find your niche .....your specialty in the poker world.

Become the big fish in a small poker pond that you are truly passionate about.

Make friends like you = customers = future profit

And you'll make a profitable business you'll be proud of and a joy to keep building on.

Trust me.

good looking site, I second what Dave says, narrow your topic, do some keyword research...which reminds me of something I need to do.

Nice site however it took sometime to load. I would check into that, if it wasn't for the fact of doing a review I wouldn't have waited. I know 20 secs isnt long but it is to a visitor. Also your domain name as mentioned just my opinon but your visitors could more likely remember your site but when they go to type it in I bet ya they are going to land at poker.com seeing as the numbers just wont be remembered.

- Dave nice post, I found quite a few useful things myself
