    Hey guys, well let me start by saying Im 14 years old, Im in grade 9 and I own an arcade site, I started it about 2 weeks ago, my dad bought me the hosting and the domain :p and I started working on it like mad, (Not the content, just a bought GameSiteScript :p) well anyway, I worked on the traffic for a week and got nothing, so I started visitng other arcade sites to get a sence of idea on how they do, most people I saw had the exact same website, and some had unique websites but still not much traffic, I did notice these little banner things, and It got me intrested, so I started signing up for banner exchanges, heres some good once to go to. (Starting from which gave me the most users)

    - http://www.arcadebanners.com
    - http://www.moregamers.com
    - http://www.moreplayerz.com

    Those are some, if you google it you can get tons more, but those are my primary once, anyway, I signed up for them, got some traffic, maybe 5-10 users a day, and then I thought of an intresting Idea, why not Implement the banner code, in a specialized script that refreshes/clicks on them every few seconds, well I made the PHP script, I put it on, and wouldn't you know it, look at the difference.
    [​IMG]
    Notice how I got 4,000++ new users visiting my arcade in less than 2 days! (Yesterday & Today)

    Still not convinced? Look at my traffic!
    [​IMG]
    My Alexa rating wen't from 2,xxx,xxx to 1,xxx,xxx!
    Now Im averaging about 500 uniques a day, now picture this, that is from ONE banner website, if you built an empire sort of thing :p and had like 10 banner exchange websites doing this, you would get like 40k new users a day! If you ask me thats friggin amazing!

    Code (markup):

    Graph Summary:
    Total Visitors for Week: 2675
    Average Per Day: 535



    Now, I am NOT giving this script out, as I know give it 2 days and EVERYONCE going to use it and there goes another Idea of mine, if your really intrested in the script, just PM me, I might work something out with you

    I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and use the banner exchange on your site, it will give you traffic and it is effective


    =)

    Do those things actually work?I was under the impression that banners are dead and gone. well unless you place them correctly. And you are trying to tell me that you generated all that traffic from banners?

    Not really a tutorial just a success story, and what script are you talking about, do mean Gamescript? or do you mean adding the banners at the front page?

    You got kind of the wrong idea, the banner at first worked a little, then I made a script to "Take advantage" of them, in which gave me tons of traffic.

    Its because you keep spamming. You sent me a message last night with the same thing. This will only ilfiltrate people. If you want to help out do it the right way. Read my thread :)

    According to arcadebanners.com rules:

    and in their TOS:

    Seems like your script might result in the closing of your account and no more clicks if they find out what you are upto.

    Cheaters never win, at least not on my exchange. ;)

    But seriously, this is why rewarding exchange users for impressions isn't such a great idea.

    This is a really good script you have made. If only we all could do this then there will be no more arcade banner exchanges as everyone will be getting false traffic which will not help at all.

    Come on, think about it now. Doing this means that you are cheating this system and damaging it for others.
