Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make some big money, or even just some extra cash on the side. When you are an "affiliate" of a site your main goal is to bring them people interested in the products offered by the site. This is usually done by creating another website that you use to promote their products. The sites pay you either a percentage of everything that they make from the player (MGR), or a one time payment (CPA - Cost Per Acquisition). Essentially the more people you bring them, the more money you will make!

The main goal of a poker affiliate is to bring as many players as possible to a poker site.

To get started, you will need to create a website. You can register a domain name and hosting plan at many sites such as godaddy.com. Once you have your website URL or domain, you can now start desigining the page. I highly recommend hiring a designer for this if you have no skills to do this. You can usually find them on the big forums such as pokeraffiliateworld.com.

Once you create your site, you will need to start writing content. You should write lots of strategy articles, poker room reviews, poker news, player biographies and anything else that is related to poker. The more content you have, the better as it makes it easier for search engines to find you.

Once all your content is uploaded start getting links to your site. You can do this by exchanging links with other webmasters, submitting your site to directories, and even just from having good content other people will naturally link to you.

Lastly, one of the most important things about being a poker affiliate is knowing SEO. SEO or Search Engine Optimization means applying proven techniques to your website to help it rank better in search engines. The better you rank, the more traffic you will get, and in turn, the more money you will make. See the links below for some great links for SEO products.
