    GUYS HELP!

    I have my GSS installed and my hosting provider is DreamHost

    Problem is, I cannot implement SEO-friendly URLs!

    Any workaround for this?

    Been tinkering this thing for months and I just can't.

    Please help!

    @travs
    I haven't try GSS before, but it's usually done using mod rewrite in .htaccess, which is enabled in Dreamhost.
    What's the error msg?

    You can also use the autopost feature from mochiads.com if you want to quickly add the games to your website.

    I am pretty sure the arcade niche pays really low compared to the other niches.
    I heard that most arcade owners make $1-10/day depending on the size of the arcades.
    I am lucky that I could make $XXX/day from a different niche....

    Yes, it pays really low but the quantity of traffic compensates it.

    I have one small arcade site 1000webgames.com
    It's getting about 500-600 UV/day and growing daily.
    I really like this niche. :)

    You can take a look at my software. It's fully automated so, since you are new you can run it without knowing everything so soon.

    You can see the demo which is never updated by me or anyone else and is fully automated at http://demo.overgrab.com. The user/pass is demo/demo and you can see the admin panel as well.

    Can you please share what other niche is that? Thanks.

    Just read the whole thread, it's already here. At least all the basic knowledge. To sum up, first you need to buy an arcade script, I personally recommend phpas. Then you need a hosting, shared hosting for a starter would be ok. Then do some link building like submitting to social media, directories, link exchanges, etc. Then regularly add new games to your portal. Try to make unique description and thumbnail. Don't get lazy and simply compy paste or use automated grabber. Your wasting all your effort. You should also join arcade forum, TA is a great place to hang out and read very useful info.

    Hope that helps. Good luck!

    Care to explain? Even if you don't agree with our scraping techniques we have also partnered with MochiAds, GameJacket and Kongregate, and another site soon to get you games from their sites automatically every hour on the hour in our latest version.

    if you donot walk just because you are afraid that you will fell, then you cannot walk.

    there's no industry in this world where you wont find any competetion.
