With all the excitement of the conferences coming up in London, sometimes it’s easy to overlook the sessions available that could benefit you and your business.
The upcoming London Affiliate Conference includes a huge expo floor full of booths with open bars, giveaways, games and all sorts of clever marketing ploys, but it also features a variety of sessions addressing the common issues facing iGaming affiliates and operators today.
With three simultaneously running tracks each day, the task of picking out the best sessions to attend can be daunting. A good piece of advice is to study the sessions on tap in advance, highlight the ones you like and slot them into your schedule if time permits.
If you don’t have time to read through the LAC session schedule but would like to attend one or two, here’s a quick list of some quality sessions you should consider attending.

3) How to generate financial traffic from Asia
Everyone knows the Asian market is the holy grail of the online gambling industry. The question is, how do we tap into it. The Great Firewall of China puts up a big challenge for operators wishing to access players residing within the country’s borders, but one way to get through is via financial betting.
In this session, Toby Oddy will explore the opportunities for financial betting in China and how to target new customers or “traders”.
Oddy shared with CalvinAyre.com, “The opportunity is vast in Asia and certainly China. As the population grows in China to well over 600 million people of which only 40% are embracing the internet, it is now time to look over the Great Wall and start to market to the new elite of consumers”.
He added, “I will be sharing Digital Fuel’s experience with operating in Asia and running paid search campaigns on Baidu, Webo and other digital marketing channels. I will go in to detail about the opportunity for affiliates and also operators, plus the laws and regulations that are in place for marketing to an Asian audience”.

In this session, Joakim Nilsson will discuss the importance of shared experiences on social media, how to analyse social media data and how to determine your audience.

5) Look ma no links and I’m ranking!
Nick Garner is one of the most respected SEO experts in the online gambling industry. Garner is known for providing actionable advice during his presentations, similar to the type of advice you’ll find in his CalvinAyre.com “SEO Tip of the Week” series.
In this session, Garner will explain a new “x” factor to getting ranked with “no links”, a concept going against what we’ve been told by SEOs for months. He will explain how this “x” factor touches on far bigger questions every affiliate should be asking themselves.
Garner shared, “Affiliates are obsessed with links and onsite optimisation, but it turns out there’s a 3rd piece to ranking and its trust optimisation. Get that piece right and you get user engagement which in turn will give your rankings a boost”.
He continued, “The strange thing is how simple it is and how easy it is to gain. I don’t suggest there is a free lunch, but links aren’t the only story anymore. To back this up, we have case study examples which make for a compelling reason to change the way you do SEO”.
