All of the affiliate websites that provide this valuable information do it differently from each other. Surely, all of them understand that the visitor wants to get information in the fastest and most convenient way possible. Besides that, you might want to check several poker websites, like some of them and want to compare them. The best way to showcase this information is by creating rating tables. They might be seen on all of the poker affiliate websites. Some of them are designed in a better way and some of them are for promotional reasons only.
How the rating table should look like
When I was making the rating table for the webpage I created (designweekaustin.com) I wanted to make sure that the table is easy to use and visualizes all the needed information in the best way possible. I understood several important rules that need to be followed when creating a rating table. Since it should be very comfortable for the visitors to check it should not be too big. Meaning that one website should only take a limited space, this way visitor has the possibility to look at several websites at the same time and compare with each other.
Some of them do not want to go into the details right away and want to look at the rating score only. Therefore the rating should be visible, after all, it is a rating table. The traditional way you will see on most of the websites is stars, that show how many stars does the poker website has out of five. Some of the affiliate websites use different icons as well, but it is rarer to see.
Last but not least, the table should contain short information about the poker sites, how do they distinguish from the competitors and what are the conditions they have. It allows a person to decide if they want to check the site further or exclude from his list.
Comparing rating tables
The first comparing table is the most traditional one. The table is from rakerace.com, it features the ranking of several top poker sites. There is a traditional way of displaying the rating, it is shown with five starts. On the right side, one has the opportunity to visit the website directly or read a review of the poker site on the affiliate website. The rating table showcases one of the most important features of the poker site that most people search when they want a new poker site - bonus offerings. The table has a column “best for” and two poker sites have the titles of “The top pick” and “Great Freerolls.” Lastly, the rating table showcases the deposit methods and compatibility so one can choose the poker site based on it. As mentioned this is the most traditional way of displaying the information about poker sites in the rating table, now let us see the different type of tables.
The affiliate website rakerace.com has a different approach when it comes to the rating. Instead of showcasing the features of the site and the reviews of them it shows the ranking based on the traffic records that are updated in every 10 minutes according to the website. One can see how the poker sites are ranked and how many visitors are on the site at the moment. The table shows information about cash, 24 hours peak and average traffic in 7 days. Each of the poker sites that are showcased has a small chart that shows the number of visitors in the last week. For some of the sites, the table has a play now button which redirects you to the poker site. One can select the country he is interested in and show the rankings of the poker sites based on location.
A more modern type of table and can be seen on the affiliate websites that want to showcase only several poker sites. Since there are only several poker sites rated in the table, there is more space to provide more detailed information about the site. The table shows the rating of the poker site, the percentage of the bonus available and how much bonus you can get in USD. It also showcases the payout speed and has a call to action button for the visitors to go to the poker site and start playing. It also has a link to the reviews.
