With the recent banning of online gaming in the United States, many poker affiliates have seen a drop in overall revenue for their web sites. This has left many affiliates scrambling to gain a share of the market overseas. How can you increase your profitability as a poker or casino affiliate? Write quality, informative articles, and submit them to as many directories as possible.

Do you have a certain strategy for sit n' go tournaments? Write an article about your strategy. Submit the article to several article directories. Players will find your article either through e-mail or another blog. They read your article and decide that they like your strategy, and they want to see what else you have to offer. The link that you placed in the author bio box will help them see what else you have to offer.

What about the blogs and poker affiliate sites who pick up your quality articles from these article directories? They use your article as content on their blogs and pages, and in return you receive a back link. This will help out in your overall search engine rankings. The more back links your site has the better it will rank in the search engine results.

Why stop at writing one article? I know that the average poker affiliate has enough knowledge about poker to easily crank out 10 - 20 articles without a problem. Many poker affiliates swear by this method of promotion. Not only will you be writing fresh content for your web site, but you will be using that content to generate back links and bring in visitors. It is a win win situation!
