GPWA Times Magazine - Issue 18 - October 2011

keting and articles takes a lot more time. I think that part consumes at least 80 per- cent of my time. What prompted you to join the GPWA, and how has it helped you so far? I think the GPWA is one of the best sources of information for gambling webmasters, since all aspects of run- ning a gambling website are covered. Although subjects on mobile gambling are still limited, I’ve found several very useful posts on SEO and other techni- calities. It’s also a great place to share all kinds of information. Time management is one of the biggest issues facing affiliates. What time man- agement tips can you offer your fellow webmasters? Make a “to-do” list and prioritize. Especially when starting an affiliate website, there are just too many things you have to do. If you could have dinner with any five people, living or dead, who would they be, and why? Matt Cutts (Google) – I’d like to discuss several aspects of mobile websites and hopefully get some useful tips. Sergey Brin or Larry Page (Google founders) – To hear their real long-term goals, as they are active in many differ- ent areas. Mark Rutte (present PM of the Nether- lands) – I would confront him with the hypocrisy of the Dutch gambling regu- lation act. Only government-owned or- ganizations are allowed to run gambling activities, which they extensively and aggressively promote on radio, TV and online. Come on, man, grant us a piece of the cake, too! Albert Einstein – Never talked to a real genius, so I’m quite curious how this would work out. Sandra Bullock – For obvious reasons. When you need to get as far away from work as possible, where do you go? My dream is moving to a sunny country one day, because I really hate bad weather and winter. Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and the South of France are places I’m thinking of. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Howdo your family and friends feel about how you make your living? Most of them were surprised, because they had no idea what the mobile gambling business is all about. They were even more surprised to hear that some people wager small for- tunes on their mobile phone. By now they think it’s cool and frequently ask me how the business is doing. What are three things that nobody knows about you? I’m a very open person and don’t think there are things about me that nobody knows. And to be honest, if there were any, I don’t think I would reveal them here. What’s your all-time favorite movie? Memento. First of all I’m a big thriller fan and secondly this movie is really unique in the way the story is told. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards, revealing more each time. Just brilliant! GPWA AFFILIATE INTERVIEW SERIES GPWA Affiliate Interview Series
