    Quality traffic.... then spend some time on some SEO and go for organic visitors. Takes time patience and a lot of effort but is worth it.

    I'm experimenting with paid impressions on a banner exchange, and it's looking good so far. My recommendation for others is to look at the quality of the traffic you're getting from each exchange, choose the best, and buy impressions if possible. Look for length of time on your site from each exchange, pages per visit, and bounce rate.

    All I can say is add arcade banner exchanges to your site and analyze the traffic you get. It depends on what kind of site you have honestly. Moregamers worked best for me, best pages/visit, best total time, best bounce rate. See what happens for you.

    Sadly, I paid $100 for half a month of impressions and it incorrectly gave me $100 worth of traffic in 3 days. I made my money back but the whole mission was to find out how it'd happen over a month. I may put $400 worth onto them, over a month, I'm still thinking about it.

    EDIT: I'm slightly inebriated when I posted this, sorry if it doesn't ameks sense. GO HOKIES, WE SHOULD HAVE WON, BC IS OVERRATED.

    The only way to get solid quality traffic is organically.

    My arcade gets heavy traffic. Every month it doubles.

    To get up in the search engines is no secret. submit to directories, write articles, use stumbleupon, advertise at forums.

    In no time a good handful to people will have bookmarked your arcade at one of their favorite pass times. That is of course if your arcade is a good place to hand at.

    I've tried, and it turned out to be nothing more than a waste of time. That technique might work for most sites, but not an arcade site.
