    well, i recently started an games website (http://tcxgames.com) that i plan to take to the next level, However just to get the basic stuff started, i'm wondering about free ways i can promote it, eg. going in to forums with games sections and posting there about it...

    Thanks.

    Try sponsor some nice flash game(or make your own!) and publish it on larger gaming site.

    You'll get load of traffics on the first day and keep getting long term traffic after that.

    Actually, I am thinking about sponsoring a few games myself, but I have heard this isn't free or very cheap at all.

    article marketing, in my opinion, is the best free way to promote anything.

    Sponsor some games. Or make some cool games with your logo and link on them.

    LOL....posting your link in forums like this is a start! Yahoo answers, other gamne related forums etc..also, just bulk PPV games related traffic may help

    I agree with this also. Vamp6x6x6x if you are interested in article marketing, I posted a few threads on our other forum about it and I also offer article marketing services for flash arcades. If you're interested shoot me a PM.
