hello since i don't have money for promotions right now i would like to find a free way to increase traffic to my arcade site? for proxy's i know that there are topsites, and i found something similar for arcades, but it is not very effective, is there maybe some other trick for me to do until i get my hands on some cash? thanks in advance. Rgeards.
Join some gaming forums and put a link to your site in your signature. You could target pc and console gaming forums. Surely you can get some traffic from links on related topic sites.
Firstly i recommend talkarcades.com great forum with some big arcade owners there which are unusally friendly and helpful compared to other big site owners. I spent money but very little, like $2 for facebook ads and $10 and funklicks which are both awesome. Its only the same as like a coffee out so you should have at least $2. I also used twitter with 500 followers i got like 80 people on my site.
Link building also works, but not very well seeing as "flash games" is a very highly used keyword and a lot of websites are fighting for it's #1 rank.
ok thank you all, i heard some suggestions that i didn't know about i will check them out. regards...
Build links is a way to get into the market, and let more potential user come to your niche from the site link to yours! More visitor more income!
The first website in my signature is a revenue sharing advertising website. Place your website there and thousands will see it..
Yahoo answers is one of the best thing that would provide traffic to your site.. You need to do the advanced Search and search for some related(about arcade or games) questions..
You should build more links to RELEVANT sites. You also should use social networking and spread it among younger people. They will tend to catch on better.
Posting with signature links in gaming forums is what I would do. Maybe some YouTube videos as well with links back to your site. And, of course, there's PPC. Maybe some free classified advertising to get backlinks.
