Meet the team behind Gifts for Card Players
Gifts for Card Players is a shopping portal page which was originally a part of the Great Bridge Links bridge portal. It has been online since 2006!
Starting with the holiday season in 2006, the web page is now a stand-alone destination for shoppers looking for items related to playing cards, playing card games, board games, video games, casino games, and giftware. Cross links are in place in order to maintain the great standing on google and other search engines.
The site began as shopping portal. We surfed the web looking for interesting, unique, and useful gift items. We put their pictures and links to the merchant site on these pages. We do not sell the products. We simply link to them. If more than one merchant carries a certain product, we give preference to advertisers and sponsors. Some of our links go through our Amazon affiliate account.
During the pandemic 2020-2022, when face-to-face bridge was struggling and bridge clubs closed, we pivoted to a magazine format. Today the website features articles on card games, casino games, and board game reviews. However, we still keep the shopping pages updated!
We also have an online magazine section where we feature articles about games and game-related products.
Advertising. Gifts for Card Players is financed through advertising. We offer banners, sponsored posts, link inserts and home page links. Contact Jude Goodwin for more information. greatbridgelinks@gmail.com
