Pretty clever on a Friday huh? To get the true feel of this expression in out headline today you need to think Martin Luther King Jr. and also have a really crap website design as well. If you can relate to both of these then chances are it’s time to consider reading and thinking outside the box. (Or in this case inside the box)
All too many poker affiliate webmasters (especially Casino webmasters) are guilty of having great articles, good keyword selection and just an eye sore of a design. Putting a website together is a tough task I know; however there are easy alternatives and shortcuts available to make the finished product appealing. If you are using a blog site as your main medium and content management system then I would definitely suggest using a clean theme (template).
Having a nice, clean design will help you place content where it needs to be and point your visitors in the right direction. I can assure you that the time spent on your site, once easy to navigate, will increase greatly. The longer users are on your site the greater chances are they will be drawn towards your call to action – registering new poker players via your affiliate links.

I just don’t get wordpress. I cannot use it. Your right about the casino websites. They don’t try and blend banners in and shove them right infront of your face. Whereas most poker sites will make them more discrete. Do you know if poker or casino stes have better conversions?
