GPWA now displaying Affiliate Guard Dog ratings
We've worked closely with Affiliate Guard Dog for some time with a special forum within the GPWA dedicated to terms and condition change announcements. We're taking the relationship to a new level by providing AGD's rating information directly on our affiliate program pages. Individual affiliate progam pages now indicate if a program is AGD certified and whether or not their terms and conditions are affiliate friendly. Additionally, we are also noting programs with eCOGRA seals. GPWA sponsor directory organized by verticals We're pleased to announce that on the GPWA home page we're now organizing sponsors by verticals. So you can now sort affiliate programs by the types of gaming sites they operate. The same thing goes for the "program directory" option under the "affiliate programs" menu item. We hope the new organization will be helpful to webmasters looking to add to the affiliate programs they work with. Will online poker bust spark fight or flight?
