i saw a cool freeroll and the rest is history
As far as keeping people here you need to find a way to get a lot of these offers that don't work out. There must be a lot of people who join try a bunch of offers that don't work and just say fuck it this is BS.
Maybe a rating system could be worked in or a counter that shows how many times an offer has worked.
shit i think i found it on ftp not sure been years :)
I've thought about creating a 2nd poker client where only bit coins are played.
But my fear is that it wouldnt be that active
DO IT ZAB!!!!!!!!! please and ty bro u dominate and eliminate comp!!!!!!! fuck seals !!!!!!!!! play pokerowned bitcoin!!! :)
the price of the offers in the offerwalls would go down or would the offers be paid say for x offer 122 PO points or 23 bitcoin points (bitcoin points not being equal to one btc) ? or maybe just a seperate exchange rate in the redeem section. i think this would affect the value of PO points if not somehow seperated.
I think the traffic has been dropping because everything is so geared towards Carbon and then merged dropped p2p. It'll take some time to build up traffic on other sites, but I think once the sites with p2p start to take off then you will see growth again. I think it's one of those things that has been out of your control and you are making all the right moves to keep the site going and it will start growing again soon.
I think that's genius. We would all play, easy cashouts, get a SWC FR going and you would get some of their traffic here. I think you should be brainstorming on ideas that earn you money that don't rely just on offers, because most of us hate offers. It's good for the newbies on the site to start building something from nothing, but I personally try and avoid it as much as possible now. Having a btc client would help you generate rake and be a way for you to make money aside from offers.
The site was really overwhelming for me when I first joined and didn't know how to use it. And it took me almost a week to earn enough points to join my first freeroll because I didn't know what I was doing. Maybe some more work to make sure new users know what to do without searching specifically for help would be a useful addition as well.
i started here long time ago from full tilt tourneys... idk zab,,, but i have tried to bring old firends from other forums here also,,but they dont even want to try to earn points from surverys.:( so i havent been able to bring many people here, altho i have tried. BUT yesterday, i got a pm here from old member of another forum, who was here now,a dn was goona give it a try to get points.,....maybe no p2p made things hard also a bit too for carbon i think..mayeb when we get the POkerhost tourney on merge,, i know will open things a bit too, then... casue people will b e able to trade there too. STIlll I think u are doingg a great job here tho:)
Saw the freerolls on Carbon myself and looked up the site.
u should be able to see that translation, just look for big words... i see google, promotions, pokerowned, thank you, recomend, friends.
poker owned bitcoin would be the shit
I saw a FR about 2 start on carbon & decided I would look into it & now im here lol
You have to factor in during the winter season more people are in doors, and in the summer season people are out doing stuff, except for the players who pretty much grind all day. So the numbers may go down now that we are nearing nice weather.
I thought Facebook would be a start but all there seems to be is spam about PokerStars Passwords.
Ohhh and Cookies was the one who showed me this great forum!! Thanks brotha!!
I found PO through the private freerolls at Fulltilt, just short before Black Friday.
need to carry out various surveys, fill out surveys!
You can organize tournaments on the client site with a prize fund of software PostScript points! and the buy-in of 20 points!
on the home page you can place a survey that will provide 100% new users their first points!
One time I opened PokerStars private tournaments and see 10$ Poker Owned freerolls with small amount of participants (avg 35) and then I have typed to the google Poker Owned and I came here and started playing :)
i found the tourney in private and then googled the poker owned site to seehow to enter and uphill from there
i think the numbers may have gone down because it is harder to get points then when i first started
i was playing the pokerstars freerolls and saw pokerowned in the tourny lobby,went to the po site,signed up and started to play the pokerowned tounies as well.now i really just play the pokerowned tournies
I think its obvious that the main way this site gains members is those who go to the private section on the poker sites and see the game listed. The best way to increase new members would be to find some way to get people to go to the private section on merge or whatever site the tourney is on.
Im not saying this is an easy thing to do but there might be some way of doing it. If you go onto Carbon you see that sometimes they get like 3K entries in their $50 freerolls. People playing those games with 3K entries for a prizepool of $50 would jump at the chance to play our games with ~90 entries but pretty much an equal prizepool. The thing is Carbons freeroll is on their main tournament page and that is where all the traffic is.
You have already spent money on advertising, why not get the list of entries into these $50 carbon freerolls and send them all 1 coupon. Count the cost of the coupons sent as an advertising expense, and it has the added benefit of being sent directlly to your target audience
Found it in the carbon tournament feed. What ever happened to booze hound????
I was on Carbons Main Tournaments page looking for free rolls to enter. I think the PO free roll was the next one coming up so I Googled PO, signed up and have been here since November 2012. I love PO. I have been able to build a bankroll and play real money games everyday thanks to the opportunities at PO to win money in their free rolls.
I have been around less in the last couple months but my interest/love for PO hasn't gone down I have just become busier. I have tried other free roll sites after signing up for PO but none of them are as good as PO (IMO) and I haven't been active at any other one than PO.
Thanks to all PO's administrators for creating and maintaining a great place for good people to enjoy poker and each other.
Honestly, I found poker owned by Carbon private tourney. I researched your site and then climbed aboard. This is by far the best site for poker and it gets you into the game and freerolls easier and is more fun than any other site I have been a member of. And I have been a member of a lot. This is a good site and I will continue to be a member here for years to come! As long as you guys wish to have me here of course.
How many new members did we get off of the free ps fb freeroll?
I think the best advertising PO could have is one free tourney a month a rotate rooms each month. We want the freeroll degens, so we can lure them into one free tourney and hopefully get them interested enough in the daily freerolls to come check out the site. Almost everyone came to this site because we saw the freerolls, so this should get some people to pay attention to po.
As far as the site being confusing to new users, I think there needs to be a be a better new user guide. The new user guide now is a guide on how to complete offers, but it doesn't give any information on how the site works. There should be a basic faq page that you don't have to go into the forums to see that explains how the site works. Things to cover would be:
1. That you earn points to enter freerolls and various promotions. Look at how many new users post asking for passwords because they don't understand you have to earn the points.
2. That the FAQ for all areas are actually in the forums. It took me a couple weeks to figure this out.
3. The current new user guide should expand on the basics of how to do tasks by adding how to find a mentor if you still aren't getting it.
4. That client exists!! There are all of these vague references to the client all over the site, but nothing I ever noticed. It took me MONTHS before I finally figured out you could play poker on pokerowned!!
I want to add, this site is amazing!! I found this site by looking at the private tourneys, and I tried a couple of others, but this is the only one I bothered doing anything with. It's because there is so much that this site offers. The number of freerolls is great, promotions excellent, forums are pretty active, client is great. Unfortunately, it takes alot of time and energy to figure out everything this site has to offer when you're new, and it's confusing. The easier you make it to understand in the beginning, the more new members you will have that stick around.
get affliated with poker sites that offer no deposit bonus...like bankrollmob, yourpokercash adn pokersource...they all have alot of poker traffic and it could bring a lot of members to here..and get a facebook ads on the poker games on there
i noticed it in the private tab on the lock poker website
I saw "PokerOwned" in a freeroll title and googled it.
Been wanting to join an online poker community and this place seems cool.
