I've written this 2 days ago in Barcelona Spain, but fell asleep before posting it…so I am putting it now:
I’m at the CAP EURO 2007 conference right now and things are going tremendously well. The first day’s main event included a late night networking party that gave us all the opportunity to get to know one another and make new contacts.
Day two was the first main conference and expo day. It included the beginning of registration, and lots of different speakers and conference opportunities. Unfortunately, I was so packed, since B4Playing is at the spotlights we had to put our time to meet the people. I must say that the organization is great, and event is a huge success. The afternoon party and networking sessions gave me the opportunity to talk to some of the people I’d already met, and to meet a few more great contacts. I’ll be sure to keep in touch with them! Great opportunities abound!

FUD
The Internet affiliation model has unique characteristics, so I learn, as I am exposed to that for the first time.
Beside some very large affiliates, who run a pretty large scale operation, most of the affiliates are small shops, mostly run by the owner. That's how they make their living and some (or maybe many) are doing very well.
Most of the small, mid size affiliates are online marketing experts and as such they are not dependant on technology but on specific/unique marketing knowledge that brings them traffic and results.
We have introduced a unique affiliation model based on a Multiple CPA (MCPA) model. This model became feasible as we have developed the technology (our desktop client) and it supporting backend. We offer affiliates to promote our client to players and share part of our CPA revenue.
While we see a tremendous interest (we have 300 affiliates who pre-registered and 60 who became official B4Playing ones since we open our system 5 days ago) I see a lot of FUD and especially in some forms. Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Well, this is typical when a novel idea is introduced and it is intensify when it effects a one man shop (where you cannot share views and responsibilities with others).
We are here to resolve the number one problem of any affiliate. Through our client they "own" the user for the first time and they travel with him and keep accumulating CPA whenever the user moves from one property to another or adds a new property. We believe that as we make progress the FUD effect will be eliminate.
One of the affiliates (mid size) who signed up 5 days ago brought us so far 22 users. One user opened accounts in 4 different Poker rooms and the other one opened accounts in 3 poker rooms. This specific affiliate has earned 7 CPA fees. This is exactly what the MCPA model is all about. Seems that our unique chart with scheduled poker tournaments is appealing to players.

Internet- A marketing or technical play?
Back in the late 90’s Internet was a clear pure technical play. We, the ones who were there at that time, had to struggle with a lot of new technologies and a setting up a new site ( which expects to get high traffic) had a lot of technical implications.
During the last 2 years, it was clear to me as a large casino affiliate and poker affiliate that the name of the game is marketing. How do I get to more people? SEO, PPC, textual advertizing, content, content, content.
Well, we are about to go live in 9 days and I watch our R&D team. Stress testing (as we would like to be ready for about 500 downloads a day), bandwidth calculations, backup and redundancy systems, security and much more. I see the 15 PCs simulating various working environment, the new client being built every night and more.
Yes, building a website is very simple these days. However, developing an application is still as complicated as it was when I was dealing with it. And I thought that all is simple these days!
I wrote it in one of my previous posts. I deal with 100s of inputs and have to take 10s of decisions. It is time consuming but I didn't have so much fun for long time.
Yes I know it will be harder on August 15th when we lunch our beta program. As long it will be fun I am ready for these sleepless nights.

The fun of dealing with translation
Our decision to go live with 7 different languages had clear business logic. We would like to service the international community and talk their language. We all understand that these automatic translators would not do a good job for us.
So, we went and subcontracted professional translators from any possible corner of the world. Now, we are sitting in front of web pages in Japanese and Chinese that we can even not read (not to mention that we cannot understand).
Well, we send it to some of our international colleagues to scan and hope that we will not be offended when we go live. We clearly feel that supporting local languages if a major advantage and we will do anything possible to be accurate and precise with our messages.
Arividerchi on August 15th when we launch the product.

18 days before Beta launch
We are going live in 18 days! We can cut the air in our office with a knife. All are working 18 hours a day: Developers, QA, SEO, Media buyers, Finance and management. Tons of third party vendors are knocking on the door. Investors are calling in to get status reports. Fun. I love the Hi Tech world. It is so different than being an independent affiliate when you and only you define the pace and the work load.
A new software version is being published internally every few days (sometimes, every day), new properties are calling to join the program, 186 affiliates have already joined our newly introduced Affiliate program. SEO effort pays off.
Friends from the industry are calling to congratulate, my IM is being bombarded, getting 400 emails a day. 100s of CVs are being faxed here.
The good news is the fact that once we will go live life will be harder.
Fun, fun, fun.

We’re looking for community leaders
Calling all leaders!
We will be launching our B4Playing forums soon to further bring our large, and ever growing community, closer together. That being said we are looking for community leaders to help us run and monitor the forums.
B4Playing is much more than just a tool that personalizes the online gambling experiences of its users, we`re also an affiliate and gaming community that wants to bring our members closer together by allowing them the opportunity to express their opinions, concerns, and questions regarding their online gambling experiences, etc., on a user-friendly discussion board.
However, it is important for us to ensure that our forums are well maintained and monitored to ensure our rules are upheld and users have a safe and friendly environment in which they can express their views and read the views of others.
Although we could appoint one of our current team members to this task, we would much prefer to have our own users, and members of the B4Playing community take on the task and reap the benefits that go along with such a position.
Do you have what it takes to be a B4Playing community leader? If you are a B4Playing user, enjoy taking charge, have respect for rules, and are an active member in the online gambling world, and are interested in the opinions of others and starting discussion, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
If you are interested in becoming a community leader or forum moderator for the B4Playing community, please contact us at www.b4playing.com/contact_us.html
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Itay
