My Last Blog Post

I think the time has finally come for me to stop blogging… at this location. Yea it is definitely time for a re-brand. It became real obvious when I was trying to tell people what my blog address was after a few drinks. Not only is it hard to say pokeraffiliateprograms.wordpress.com but it is also hard to understand or even remember. I have decided to start a blog at a new domain. This domain will be hosted on my own server and will allow me to have complete creative control over the blog’s contents.

This blog will stay here as is. Why not redirect it? Because wordpress.com hosted blogs do not allow users to 301 their blog to a domain that is not hosted by wordpress. I could have my own domain, but I would still have limited control over how the theme could appear and what affiliate links I could post. Pretty much it is time to cut the crap and man up. The whole reason I used a wordpress.com blog was because I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy writing enough to keep up with posting. Turns out I do… so here we are.

Any of my affiliate peeps out there that have linked to my old blog… if you would be so kind as to either change the link to my new url or… if you think this is a solid resource that still deserves being linked to you can just add another link ;-) Either way it is cool with me.

I know it sucks to start over from an seo point of view but I will be honest when I say that ranking in the top ten for the term “poker affiliate programs” does not bring in much traffic. Ranking in the top three might be a different story.

Anyways, you can catch the full 411 on the switch at my new web address which is http://www.paidthecost.com

  1. Nice move and about freaking time ;) I do have to say nice job on the domain. Something that isn’t primarily focused on poker affiliates or trying to get people to sub under you.
