Pls take a look at my site

[teman]

Hi,
i'm from Russia. I've found this forum about a week ago and very glad about this opportunity to share the experience with others.

I have my own poker site: www.beproplayer.ru

It is russian site with russian content, which you are not able to understand, but i kindly ask you to review the composition and all other things.

tnx in advance,
Artem

Very nice site buddy :-) this is the best site i have seen in the review section for a while.

I have opened it in firefox and chrome. In firefox i got a attachment with a pin in the page. In chrome this did not show, also there was no blocks or anything.

Your link in the top right hand corner, which i thought was going to be link to affiliate site, its a broken link.

I love the home page layout... its really nice. It seems easy enough to navigate but with out knowing what it means it can be very hard.

how long has the site been live for?

[teman]

some features still do not work... fixing them in present time.

it is live for about 1 week.

it is an educational site with educational videos:

pro blogs:

and educational articles:

pls also have a look at my "latest events" modules at any page in the right colomn. how do you like them?

[suffolkpoker]

ok its looking nice, i have sites that have been live for over a year and small things still need fixing.

"latest events" is that this "Новое в форуме" lol if so it looks nice... will the events rotate? I noticed it lands on a forum, i would integrate your header on the home page with the header in the forum. So the jump in between them both is not so dramatic.

It makes me wanna learn Russian. Is this your first website?

[teman]

yep, its my first site.

also, i have some newbie questions that want to ask you:

1. should any room banner be placed on landpage? will it increase the conversion.

2. if there is any rakeback system which automatically transfer rakeback to our players or it should be done manually every month?

3. how should i calculate my earning plan for the future periods if i have not any information regarding my convertion rate?

thanks

[suffolkpoker]

hey,

1 - yes it will, i have got a top 3 of poker rooms and i give the best places for them... there other are just review pages with the affiliate banners on the review page. The banners on the home page convert much better.

2 - im not really the right person to tell you about rakeback as i havnt ever promoted rakeback before. I think there is, i would have to have a quick look for you...

3 - to calculate predicted earnings on a new site is all most impossible, as you dont even have a idea of traffic onto your site, let alone conversion rate. It depends on so many factors. the best way is to wait 4 - 6 months so you have got more information so you can make a better judgement

Hi Artem:

It's a little difficult to evaluate your site since I don't speak Russian but it does look pretty catchy. I'm not sure about the sticky in the bottom left, it's a bit cheesy and may make the user feel a little uneasy. As a teaching site you want the content to be up front, in the sense of here's your lessons, by the way you may want to check out these rooms

Banners are good generally but your own stuff can work well and sometimes better. Some of my best converting banners are ones I made myself, mostly because they didn't have what I wanted, but it adds a personal touch and are distinguished from the run of the mill stuff.

As far as rakeback goes I'd presume that it's preferable from a time management perspective to have it set up automatically. I'm far too greedy for rakeback though so maybe some of our experienced rakeback affiliates can provide some advice here.

Over time you can project your earnings based upon past performance but as Tom has said this is pretty tough to do without any past performance yet. Just shoot for making as much money as you can which is never a bad guideline You will need to be patient though.

[teman]

Thank you! I didn't understand about sticky. What is it?
You are right about patience!
Can anyone give me an advise regarding rakeback?
Also, i looked at the pokeraffiliate world offer and i din't find cpa on pokerstars. Do you know if it available?

[kingcobra]

As far as I can tell there's a cookie in your site which keeps from displaying the sticky after the first visit. You might want to look into the home page code to find it.

The Poker Stars PAW CPA deal is still on as far as I know - you can't already have a deal with Poker Stars though. I see it's no longer on the trackers menu - email them to ask whether it's still available or you can ask on their forum here at PAP.

haha. I like how it looks but I can't read anything. For all I know you could be telling us to go all in on 2 7.
