Thinking about starting a rakeback/affliate site

[FeckMyBankroll]

I've been thinking about dabbling about with my own website for ages now, and I think the time has now come to put up or shut up about it rly.

I have a pretty good idea on theme, poker orientation and want to ensure that I have some rakeback/no deposit bonuses going on. How stressful is this going to be? should i just not bother with rakeback, bonuses etc to start with and concentrate on traffic? pros/cons of going direct to the poker rooms?

Any advice wld be appreicated, I know its a ridicoulsy big market but just want to do my research properly

You don't get to give RB right away for most poker sites. You usually have to be an affiliate for someone else or your gonna have to get a bunch of people to sign up without rakeback and then you get a higher % allocated to you which allows you to offer Rakeback. Offering good freerolls is definitly the way to go because a lot of good players will think of these as dead money. The cons of going direct is what I said in my first couple sentences.
