Poker Affiliate Tools

Let’s take a look at some of the most useful poker affiliate tools available to make the job of poker affiliating easier, more efficient, and more effective. These tools will be broken down into categories for easy reference, and these are tools that we actually use or have used ourselves at one point or another.

Poker Affiliate Tools and Resources

Poker Affiliate Programs

• PokerStars + Full Tilt Combined – PAW Network offers major online poker rooms in one interface.
• Full Tilt Directly – MGR offered Directly (but unless you’re sending massive players we’d recommend the higher CPA from the PAW Network.
• Poker Stars Direct – You’ve got to contact them through the site.  If you go with PAW directly you can promote some incredible freerolls, but if you go direct you cannot promote these freerolls.  Contact ‘Carly’ on the PAP boards via PM.
• USA Accepted Poker Affiliate Network of Sportsbook, Playersonly and Superbook.  Good program with converting brands – take USA players with easy deposit methods.
• Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet – Ugh I say them because AP has a no download software that could be your niche.  Chipleader program needs work imo.

Poker Affiliate Scripts
PokerNews/Poker Affiliate World Freeroll Script – This is a very useful freeroll script that will display a live feed of the pokernews freerolls that you can promote if you are an affiliate on the PAW Network, and if PokerNews has freerolls to offer. This is an auto updating script that looks great, is customizable and easy to insert into your website. You can put in your tracking codes and display the freerolls on your website with your trackers. The script has both a free option and a paid option. The free option requires 3 links back to the script owners network of websites. I believe the pay option is around $10/mo but don’t hold me to that… check with ‘Zilla’ on the PAP Forums for more info. Also offers a live poker event script designed to display live events on your site.

Rake Back Calculator – Another free tool from Zilla from the PAP forums. Display a rakeback calculator on your site. Free, other than the link / credits required on the Calculator.

SEO Tools

WordTracker – This is a keyword finder / ranker tool. I almost feel like I shouldn’t be sharing this info because it really is that powerful but, here is a video of the power of WordTracker in action as I do research for poker affiliate keywords video focusing one of my “texas holdem” focused poker sites.

SEO Elite – This tool is from master affiliate Brad Callen and it is most useful to me to do a website ranking report and a who links to the competition. This is very handy for following your progress as it you track where you rank for your keywords, over time, across multiple search engines. It also helps in the competitive analysis phase of SEO.

Keyword Companion – This tool help you break down your lists into focused groups quick and easy… and although you can’t really do much on the PPC for online poker affiliate programs, it does have a cool feature where you can configure your google ppc ads right within the software and export it right to google.
