Other Ways To Advertise?

[kushmoney]

Actually havent done FB advertising yet. But its on "things to do-list". IM pretty sure they do allow it. But you can also do it without paying anything by groups , fan sites etc etc.

I totally forgot about fan pages. I have no idea why I forgot. I even have one set up for my other site. Thanks for reminding me.

Facebook does allow some poker ads, be creative, and try lots n lots until you find one that gets approved .

Other ways I advertise my sites are..

Contributing articles to local papers. (they don't generally have to be original)
Twitter
I write for sites like eXaminer (if you want a poker related article on there, hit me up, we can probably work 'something' out.)
I answer questions on Yahoo Answers and similar sites.

You might submit some stuff to mags like Card Player (never tried that, but if it's good stuff, it's likely feasible)

Exchange articles with other sites (In fact, we should have an article exchange thread or something).

I think a combo of a facebook fan page and ads on facebook to promote the fan page will do the trick. I doubt I would have problems getting my ads approved then.

Contributing articles to local papers. This is something I would be more than happy to do. How would I go about doing this?

Already using twitter but the site does need it's own twitter page. Looks like I got more work to do this week.

Ok, this might sound dumb. What is eXaminer?

Answering questions on Yahoo Answers. Sounds like it take up a lot of time. Maybe I will hire someone to do that for me. Give me time to work on something else well I get more visitors.

I am going to have to come up with one awesome article to give to Card Player. I would to be turned down but I think it's worth the risk.

Exchanging articles is part of my SEO strategy. Awesome way to build backlinks and free content for your site. Haven't done much of this lately since I been selling my articles to fund my project.

I know offline marketing has been already touched on in this thread but IMO i think there is a massive opportunity for a new affiliate to take advantage of an offline marketing campaign.

I totally agree with you. I wonder, is there a way for an US affiliate to promote offline in other countries like UK, Canada, and etc.?

this facebook thing sounds interesting. sad that gambling ads aren't allowed in adwords but the cpc would be like $20 anyways...

You know all of those apps on facebook?

SocialMedia.com handles most of the advertising you see on those apps. Be careful with this one, it's kind of a beast to tame but there is some heavy traffic in there if you can convert.

For example, I once blew threw $600 in 15 minutes on my account there, at 25 cents a click. Lucky for me, I had already optimized the campaign. Unlucky for me, I didn't refill the account due to a lack of funds in my paypal.

I was killing it for a while there, make sure you target the traffic, etc, and then optimize before you turn it on completely.

Yeah, I learn that lesson last year with a non-gambling campaign. Will not make the same mistake again.
