The Adventures of MDawg (in progress)

WOO has been going down too. See the sharp downward slope?


I haven't tracked WOO regularly but I do recall looking at it once about a year ago and seeing a much higher Alexa rank there too, in the area of 70000 or so (which, actually, WOV was in the 77K range too, about a year ago. The reason I recall this is that I have a business site that is in the top 100K which is where you want to be.) Anywhere in the top 100K is pretty good, but within the top 50K is great.

When Axel says that casino websites pay only for people who click on their banners and then verifiably sign up,

Casino affiliate programs only pay their Affiliates when someone uses their link, signs up and MAKES A DEPOSIT.

I am sure he is just saying that because he thinks it is true. He's never owned an online casino. And there's the biggest different between this jokester and me - if I don't know, I won't say a word. I don't know if casinos operate differently from other PPC (pay per click) or pay for placement (rent space on a site for a banner) advertisers, so I won't comment. But I do know SEO, and given that Axel came in here and spouted some nonsense about "how easy it is to manipulate Alexa rankings" I have to assume that he may have no idea what he is talking about here too.

Just spending a few minutes of research I found this article
The Cost of Google Adwords
for Online Casino's
https://www.sayu.co.uk/the-cost-of-g...e-casinos.html
which outlines the PPC cost of casino advertising online, and just the existence of this article contradicts Axel's claim that online casinos will not pay per click for advertising.

I have no idea what that link is that you just posted, it looks like a for-profit site counting whatever they are selling. I'm sure there's always some exceptions to the rule. Go look at all the casinos they advertise on wov and look at each casinos affiliate program, I guarantee you most of them are either a commission based off of what the players loss is or it's based on a CPA per deposit or some type of hybrid deal.

Just an uneducated guess, but I would see WoO dropping in the last 3 months based on a lack of interest in casinos when they were closed.
