Toughts for a new site, kinda new on this industry.

[Barrin]

Wordpress is the platform of choice by many because it is so easy to use , update, and keep maintained for beginners. So its not a bad way to go and maybe a little template alterations can add some unique features and look to your site. Joomla def offers much more options but is a little more technical to use and may take a little long to get adjusted to. Either way best of luck with the new site(s).

Thank you so much.

I think its definitely still worth making a poker site, a lot of people around the world play poker I don't think poker will ever go away, too many people love playing it.

I hope you are right, thanks!

I have joomla and wordpress sites that I built myself.

To be honest. for a ton of reason I prefer joomla for big sites, but there could be some speed issue you must aware of. You will have to optimize the site to reduce the page load that I found higher than on any of my wordpress sites.

pm if you need more info

msged you

hey im new in this industry too, I was curious if anyone here is an affiliate living in the US? I am currently an affiliate on lock poker but they have stopped taking new US sign ups on the merge network and they are terrible with communication, its almost pulling teeth with them to get a response, so I am looking else where. I do NOT have a site up yet but my friend said hed get me started with a site using wordpress. Do you think there is still hope for affiliates living in the US? Thanks.

Im still lost. I dont know how to create sites, doesnt even know well whats a 301 redirection (I read about it a few times), have no idea if I should buy an english or portuguese domain, if I should buy more than one domain, which rooms promote, etc.

I decided to make the site with wordpress instead of my first option, Joomla, cause I read thats a lot easier. But, I dont know where can I find a good template, etc.

I need to talk to someone thats on the business for a long time, a chat via msn or skype. So, if anyone can help, I would love..

thanks

I decided to post here what I am thinking now to find out if I am wrong.

Ok, I am gonna start with only one domain, wordpress based. As I dont know how to create sites and didnt find anyone to do so, I will try to find a good template and start it over. I want something simple and clear, shouldnt be too hard to find a good one out there (any help is appreciated).

I will also write all the content, in Portuguese. I live in Brazil and I am gonna aim the players from here.

One thing I found on a forum around there, is that whenever I typed "Pokerstars" or any other poker site, a plugin auto make a referral link. Would be nice to know the name of this plugin, cause would be easier than editing every link later.

Ah, I got a noobie question. Lets say I enjoy the poker affiliate things and create 5 new domains. If I bought 3 WP plugins for my older sites, would I need to buy them again to the new ones? Or I can use them whenever I want?

Thanks.

Thats why you use redirects for aff links. Set up the 301 redirects in .htaccess whenever the aff link needs to be updated you can do it in one location instead of updating every aff link on your site.
