I haven’t got any link directory inclusion request this past weeks. Perhaps the submitters got tired of resubmitting again and again their crappy and spammy directory sites.

How do I determine quality sites? I have my criteria. It may not in agreement with everybody but then again everything is a matter of preference. Let’s just say that one of my criteria is that it shouldn’t feel like a machine did it, from design to content.

Anyway, I still don’t have any monetization plan for the site yet other than adsense which proved not effective for a directory site. I just got my paypal account so my best bet would be a paid or featured listing. My time is currently occupied with more important things so monetization will be taking a backseat for months to come.

Anyway, I’m reviewing this site that ranks popular online casinos. Online Casino Bluebook ranks online casinos by bonus size, payout percentage, customer service, game features, number of games, software graphics and ease of use. The next time you play online blackjack, you know where to go.

Their list are reviewed by experienced online gamblers. As a result, you will most likely find the perfect online casino. I haven’t tried using their list yet but I will as soon as I find time. I was itching to play online poker. I always have this feeling that I can bluff and judging from what I see in World Poker Tournament in TV, I think I can dig the game. My problem is that nobody around me knows how to play poker so my best bet is playing it online. I think I’m going to check the list now.

Not convinced? Read the long list of features/benefits:

1. Arbitrage traffic (buy low and sell high!) is ALLOWED.
2. Get paid via PayPal, e-gold or ACH/Wire.
3. BH SEO traffic accepted! I know people treat you guys like dirt and give you a bad rep, but I also know there is nothing wrong with your traffic, so screw the other guys and stop having to explain yourself to everyone else (unlike in the US, everything banned there is legal in the UK/EU — more advertisers paying a hell of a lot more per click!).
4. Get paid per click. We only care about clean and real traffic, and you get paid in Euros, GBP or USD.
5. 100% customizable. Break out of the barrier of boxed in or bordered ads. Customizing no longer means just limited to changing the colors. You can change the shape of the text ads, put approved images next to them for higher CTR’s, put them inside videos, etc..
6. Webmasters and site owners from around the world are allowed to participate, but we ONLY want traffic from the UK, and Western European countries right now.
7. Bid price tools that tell you EXACTLY how much you get paid. So if the cpc says “$2.22″ per click, that’s what you get, $2.22, no more trying to factor in your percentages and our cut and blah blah.
8. Stats you can read and learn from. Hate using other add-on services like heatmaps or ROI converters, well now, you’re in luck, because those tools all come standard in our reporting module. Including automated tips on how to change around your content and templates so that you can increase your CTR’s.
9. Use XML feeds to display results, either in 1 or 2 click format, it’s your choice! Display search results for the advertisers inside text ads, instead of making people search first and then click, they can click straight away and you get credited right away.
10. Domainer traffic welcomed. Stop getting only $0.08 a click from all of the parking page services, come over to a place where you’re appreciated and respected.

That’s only 10 but they are good enough reason to try. However, only UK and EU are definite to be serviced when the system goes live.

I’ve tried every possible ways to earn. Affiliate marketing, CPM banners and a whole lot of other schemes that was unsuccessful at that time. Until I stumbled upon Linkworth. Linkworth is a text link advertising marketplace where people buy and sell links. At that time, Linkworth was relatively new. There were fewer advertisers but I sold my first text link within a month after joining. I’ve added a couple more after that and I never looked back.

I’ve joined other text link advertising sites but my Linkworth links are by far the biggest earner.
