about to launch my new website , ur suggestions please!

[Cyberfox]

I'm about to launch my new website , and thinking of improving it's contents as it only provide current poker offers and reviews , I think that this is nothing new .. and consider writing tutorials for beginners who have not played poker before .. and strategies , probabilities , odds ..etc ..etc.. as I know lots of info. but is that enough to make a good website that can stand out from the crowd ... I've also great background in web developing ,seo , ,etc. so I think i can make a decent website ...
I've no experience in poker affiliation & English is not my native lang.
what do you suggest , please !?
Thanks in advance

If you "launch" it or not you should still keep adding content on a regular basis and ofcourse it is always best to provide something unique. Can you give us a link to your website, easier to give comments that way. Cheers

well , I've to restructure it then ...
u know , I thought at first , that , my knowledge in seo can benefit the website ranking whatever contents it has , after finding my site at google , visitors could be attracted by an offer or something in my website and visit it , specially when they don't find any useful contents in my website ... but I must plan it better ...

Do you think that there are many who don't know poker and try to learn it online ??

Thank you for your reply

edit: btw , y did you quote ' launch' ... what is the suitable word in this context then ?

at this stage you most likely will be introducing nothing new in almost anything, the best thing to do is deliver it in a more quality way then other sites. If you're good at setting up sites then this should be feasable.

That's what i'm planning to do.
But I was wondering if there is still who wants to - seriously - learn poker online !?

Thank you for your reply.

I think would be a good idea to get someone to read one the articles you plan to use on the site and give you their thought on the spelling and grammar - Judging from your posts I think there could be some issues with that.

It would be a shame to spend a lot of time writing, just to realize that your visitors only understand half of it.

@Unknown Webmaste: I was going to say something very similar.

You have plenty of potential visitors for a 'learn poker' site, but note that the competition is fierce.

There are a number of big business dedicated poker school websites running who have deep pockets and have been operating for years (off the top of my head two good examples are pokerstrategy.com and pokerschoolonline.com - but there are many more of this type and hundreds more if you include all of the poker strategy sites, a number of which are of high quality and run by members here).

If you're planning an English site, I've got to echo the last 2 posts. You will definitely need to build your site with accurate language - spelling, sentence structure, punctuation, and context. Your posts suggest that you might struggle with that unless you get some help.

Most native English speakers (and non native speakers with good English skills,again there are many on this forum) can and will recognise a website with content written by a non native English speaker within seconds, and that will automatically put you at a disadvantage. You'd need to have something really special about the site that will hold a visitor even though they already have a conscious or subconscious negative view about the language.

You may still get some visitors who will read and even click through, but probably not enough to make the time and effort of building the site worthwhile.

I see you're from Egypt...maybe it's worth a look at putting together an Arabic site? I suspect there is not much competition, and maybe there's some potential if you can build a strong site with good content and optimise it well (I'm making an assumption that Arabic would be your native language). There may be some cultural negatives? But still worth some consideration maybe.

ye, u r right.
However , i think the errors are more in grammer than those in vocabulary.
And that may not change the meaning too much.
But, it will make my articles , low quality ones though.
Aw, i'll try 2 dig a little deeper and find a more spechialized niche like , 4 example , learning poker by taking quizzes . That don't require alot of elaborated text. Where the errors really shine .

First , thank you for your wonderful reply ,

And let me tell you what made me chose to build a web site for beginners.
Well , players that are searching for a website to learn from , often , are 'virgin' players , lol , what i mean is , they are not members of any poker rooms yet , and thus , I have a big potential to get them registered with my referral link ( that was my secret strategy , and now is not secret any more ) ..
The second option of trying to build a website in arabic, is not possible , there is not many gamblers here , using google adword tool , i found that there is only less than 6,000 searches for poker in arabic , while there are about "30,400,000" , the number ofcourse is not so real , but there are millions of searches, for "poker", so, as I have mentioned before , I can build a "learn poker by quizzes" that does not need so much text , and so much mistakes as a result, but don't know if that is worth the effort either ..

by the way ,I 've visited pokerschoolonline.com , it is very similar to the site I intended to build !!! , but I think that it's contents are not interconnected , they cover so much details , but as separate units ,


and thank you for sharing your 'valuable' experience.
