Just now opened my first ever affiliate website a few seconds ago. Feel free to review it:

http://www.pokertvguide.com/

Still working on some things such as the automized freeroll tracker but I didn't wanna wait anymore with the launch.

Hi Markus

Great job! A really nice site, with a great niche potential. Two small comments:

1. The freeroll section looks funny with Poker.com the whole way down - I presume that you intend to insert other sites, but it may be wise to do this sooner rather than later.
2. While you have the register possibility, I saw no comment on the site as to why one should register and the benefits associated with it. I think you need to make this clear somehow.

Stephen,

1) indeed I wanted to add Paradise infact but was unable to find a way to datascrape it. If you have such an URL I would appreciate it, doesn't have to be a real feed just whatever page with current tournament information concerning freerolls.

It however also automaticaly already adds partypoker freerolls, the problem is that their feed doesn't provide the start time for tournaments before they enter the registration phase and it's in the middle of the night in the US so the freerolls are done for the day (afaik).

2) That is true I will make sure to clarify that. I was in a bit of a rush to get it out rather than continue on it because honestly, I'm exhausted of programming non-stop for 2 weeks.

MarkUss, I think that it would be benficial for you to make your site more user friendly by linking to some free easy to use RSS feed converters such as RSS to HTML and RSS to Javascript

And I added your feed to Poker On TV

I tried to get rss to java to work for queens over aces but It didnt work. Im trying to help him get up on magpie to get the real benefit of static html pages.
