    Hej Cypherus,

    It looks like your site is the type of thing that will market itself. It's the sort of thing that would go over well with a Fark ad, even though that's U.S. traffic. No idea how you'd sell it in Norway.

    Ha det så bra,
    Xangis

    Steve, I'd love your opinion on

    http://www.spinningtornado.com

    We try everything but getting through to affiliates is tough.

    We even tried a comical viral ebook at

    hmm..

    game tax

    directory submission
    link exchanges
    and creating other such links to your website would help

    but if have unique games...created by yourself.. you can enter a whole new league, submit to
    social bookmarking websites such a digg, reddit etc...
    include your main website link in all games inviting users to visit
    provide download options to ensure long term visibility of your website

    now the important thing that you need to concentrate on is visitor retention, once someone visits your website try to get them to visit it over and over
    an email newsletter (or RSS) would help... introducing and announcing new flash games once a week or so,



    ZORDE
    you need to attract affiliates

    creating content,
    if you do decide to create content, write an article or two
    submit them to affiliate forums (as a post)
    submit them to article directories
    post comments on affilaite blogs and get mixed in the affiliate crowd
    a truly helpful unique content goes viral on its own

    ***********

    you need to experiment with PPC campains and other paid advertising options, to see if they convert well...
    an ad saying something like
    "save 75% on the next ebook you buy" might prove fruitful

    ***********

    link sharing, directory submission and other methods of manually creating links always helps...

    ***********

    i believe the key to your success lies in recruting a large army of affiliates to promote your product, this is a demanding task, but since all of your members **ARE** affiliates you can use this VERY ARMY "you already have" to promote your product

    you need to show them simple techniques of promotion and make it as easy as possible for them.... butterfly marketing at its best

    you need to
    motivate them
    help them
    and show them
    how to get at least 2 referals each...and laugh your way to the bank

    ***********

    and if i may... ditch the ebook... or fire your copywriter... cos something is just not right about the whole "Grandma" thing

    ***********


    NAMASTE

    thanks sunnydiv,

    I have actually created articles, although I have not submitted them to forums.
    Articles, forum building and general networking is extremely time consuming and resource intensive, something I am severely disadvantaged with.

    Do you think It is worth hirering cheap foreign labor to do the forum article posts for me?
