how to market my mmorpg (rpg site)

    hello
    okay i need ways of marketing my rpg site (role playing game) online for free or very cheap and will convert into members on my site.
    www.beyondevo.com is the url (just for reference)

    but needs working methods of advertising...

    also will pay anyone 0.10 via paypal for every signup they get to the site. All you have to do is pm me your username and email on the site and then for every referral you get i will pay you 0.10 into paypal. However only for the next 2 weeks. (no same ip accounts or spamming or i will not pay)

    thank you
    Lewis Turner

    Give monthly payment rewards.

    You would need to advertise that . But later on you would get static advertisements.

    Do CPM campaigns on gaming/MMORPG forums.

    Get private advertising deals with other browser based MMOs

    Log onto World of Warcraft or Runescape or something and try marketing there. I assume you have a subscription - just tell people that your site has some great tips on their game.

    i would suggest adtoll.com, they are very cheap and most of their publishers have gaming sites, so your ads would be targeted

    Yes, describe Your game more, At the main site write some story about your game - treat it as a briefing to the climate or something like that. Take some screenshots how the game looks after loging in. Add "Top players" with some points ( who has the most minerals/gold/stuff ).

    And most important - work on graphical/design aspect of the game - for me the starting text is a little too much blurry and I have problems to read it.

    Also I think, that submitting it to places like Digg can help You find some new users ( if You want I can digg Your site - just pm me with a link to submission and You'll have my vote :) )

    Make a nicer layout. When I go to your site, I have no idea what it is about. You need pictures and more text, so people know what they are signing up for. It is like running Adsense on a blog with a CTR below 0.01.

    I don't know about this but I have an advice for you : People don't like games with no player, so at the first just get some friends or relatives to make it more tempting to join and play :D
