Hey everyone
I haven't posted in a long time but I have been working hard on my sites.
I set a plan for what sites I will be developing this year and a target for stats and revenue from each site for every month.
I already reached double my target for this month but it was because I had some big advertisers renewing on a few sites.
GamblingAffiliatez.com
DeuceAce.com
MyMacPoker.com
Malbar
Canada
www.GamblingAffiliatez.com
My gambling affiliate forum is now online, www.GamblingAffiliatez.com
I really like the design on the site but I'm waiting for the custom postbit, should have it this week.
I used vbadvanced for a portal system on the homepage, I normally don't use portals but I am going to be updating this with regular content and articles instead of just focusing on the forum.
I got the link directory from vbadvanced for the gambling affiliate directory, its totally integrated with the design and everything is managed from the admincp.
One thing I wanted was automatic payments but it doesn't have anything for payments so I have to do it manually.
I think I will be taking phplinkdirectory off DeuceAce and putting on the vba directory instead.
I have a custom script for the site that will let affiliates search for affiliate programs to promote, I have to get some work done to it though before I put it online. Once its finished I will post a link to it here.
www.DeuceAce.com
DeuceAce has been doing good this month, I reached 1400 registered members and 8000 posts, still not a big forum but its getting there, slowly :)
I have a lot planned for DeuceAce this year and just ran the first freeroll of 2007 yesterday.
I have had a lot of companies looking to advertise on the site but I am sold out of all space, think I have to bump up the prices since demand is so high.
I changed the directory to yearly payments instead of one-off, they are lower than before but having recurring payments is a lot better than higher one-off.
MyMacPoker.com
I posted a screenshot of this design months ago but it needed some changes from malbar, the designer, but I never got them so I'm just going to go ahead with the design as it is and make some small changes to it myself.
I'm sure you can guess from the name, but its for mac poker.
It will mainly just be a content site with some articles, reviews and bonuses, it's mainly being used to drive more traffic to DeuceAce.
Malbar
Has anyone seen Malbar/Petr around? He has a lot of designs that I need to get from him that are already paid for.
He went on holiday over a month ago for 2 weeks when he had work for me and I didn't have any idea where he went until he came back, I got one or two emails from him and haven't heard back since.
He was making some small changes to some designs but I don't even have the PSDs of some of the designs he was doing.
I already had to get another designer to redo work I got from him.
If anyone sees him around can you email me please - john [ at ] deuce ace . com

I have been planning on moving to the US for years but I always had too much on but I think this year could be a good time to move.
Well it was the US I wanted to go to....but with online gambling being banned there its putting me off a bit, so the next best option is Toronto in Canada.
The only thing putting me off Toronto is the weather....Ireland is bad enough but its a lot colder there in the winter.
I think we will be going over first just to check everything out and downtown apartments. Apartments is the only thing I want to check really, I don't know the areas in Toronto at all so I don't know if I should just look around the net at estate agents and check out apartments then find out about the areas and get one before we go over.
I will be renting anyway, I am going over on a one year working visa, a permanent visa takes close to 5 years to get now.
Anyone know, is the weather in Toronto anything like Chicago? I was in Chicago at winter a few years ago.
Ok time to do a bit of work :)
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and new year!
