Ok I need some suggestions

I am trying to figure out how to be monetize the site..

If I can generate more revenue from the site, I can add more frequent and bigger free rolls and a larger and better community.

So my question is, why do you guys suggestion?

Adsense- They won't take gambling ads
Burstmedia - I think they are the same as adsense
Affiliate Sites - The site gets revenue when people buy stuff? Not likley

Surveys - What about this? Is this something I should look into? Like a points system, where you get points for doing them (Also get points for posts). I don't know how much an affiliate can earn when someone does a survey, anyone know?


Any other suggestions?

How much can you make off each survey? Like a referral fee? I don't even know never really tried one.

Ya these ads I have up now don't hardly work. People have to click them :|

And if I tell people to click them, I can get banned

I think I may have an idea for how to monetize the site. Please message me on AIM and I will tell you what I have thought up.

My aim is [email protected]

I would love the surveys for points idea... I am a loyal member of another site that offers the same opportunity. If you do that, I will definitely participate. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

I would love the surveys for points idea...I think its an easy way for us and you...

Screw all that crap. All you need to do, is be an affiliate for every poker site that will pay you money to do so, and post the referral banners at the top and bottom of this forum. Screw surveys and screw lame ads, you want to see poker related ads and stuff at a poker related site.

Yeah and I could not be assed with all the messages and phonecalls and letters that comes along with surveys its a nuisance

All the surveys will do is make the site lose members.

But each survey that is completed gives around a dollar so I don't know what is best for the site.

Also doing the surveys will improve the password leaking.

Have to agree with Coddbrunson.Go poker related and try to find about a dozen good players then get them to open an account at an affiliate site.It takes a lot of work but you have a good site here and you should be able to generate a decent mothly revenue.I have a friend who owns a poker web site.He was a poker affiliate manager for 1 of the entraction sites.If you want to get in touch with him and maybe help each other then give me a personal message and i will get you guys together.He has a strong player base and you have an active forum i think you could work together well.

your right this is a little tough, you could also try and do what other sites do and add a bankroll thing were you give a bankroll and then you will get a percent of the rake directly from full tilt, and you get a percentage of any referals your referal get. so you set up something with full tilt and as long as zab is ther referer not only will you get the $50 refer a friend bonus. when maybe you only added $25 to my account, you then get rake all month. then when i run outa my $25 im running back to the surverys to scrape up a buck that you will then get apiece of rake back again.

i agree i think if u did a bunch of different bankrolls and got people to sign up at other sites as well as fulltilt maybe even casino sites etc.etc. you could generate money! even links maybe by posting stuff on youtube and getting views by posting passwords up there for tournaments i believe they pay once u get a certian amount of views!

Any time someone types Full Tilt or PokerStars or any poker site name in a post, it automatically converts to a link to your affiliate sign up.

So it would look like this:

I got second place in a tournament today on Full Tilt!

(But be an actual link)

I know I hate the surveys Zab but I also wanna see you make some cash so ur interest stays up and keeps improving the site.Every other forum or club I'm in has an affiliate deal for signups thru their links..so that certainly won't bug anybody.
