New Sites - New Affiliates?

[Morganzolar]

Hi all – I’m back for some more advice (again!)

At the moment I’ve only got one affiliate site, which is poker based. Within the next couple of months I’m going to start writing content / designing a further 3-4 sites in slow-time. What I’m wandering is:

Do you think it’s better to stick with the merchants I already promote for poker (because most sites the have a poker section also have sportsbetting / bingo / casino etc) or look elsewhere? I’m thinking it’ll be easier for stats if I just keep the same merchants but use different tracking codes, but would it be better to have different merchants, therefore different keywords for things like reviews?

At the moment I’ve already use 9-10 different affiliate platforms which I have to check for stats / promotional material, I don’t think I could bear much more!

Thanks in advance!

I would market the best products for the niche - sometimes this crosses over, for example if you're promoting Bet365 for poker they're awesome for sports. But plenty of brands do really one in one vertical and suck in another.

Also some of the best converting products are standalone (ie: they don't have other verticals).

IMHO if you only promote brands you already promote without looking into other options you're leaving a lot of money on the table.
