    Does anybody have any advice on promoting my game sponsorship offer mentioned here: www.fadplay.com/sponsor.html ?

    When I first launched that idea, I made about 60 link sales within the hour and a little over 120 in the same day. However, since then, I haven't had too many sales. Lots of copycats have popped us as well.

    So any suggestions like copy revisions, places to promote, thoughts on pricing, etc on better promoting that offer is appreciated.

    Thanks! :)

    What are the demographics of your site? What games are available for sponsorship?

    I guess the reasons why I wouldn't be interested in something like this are I don't know what your target audience is, therefore I don't know if your audience is going to be interested in my products. A list of games available for sponsorship and their general theme would be nice. Plus, from an SEO standpoint, the pumpkin game in your one example on has a PR of 3. I personally feel that $50 for a PR3 link is a tad high. However if the traffic is there, the PR is irrelevent. I don't know how much traffic each sponsorship generates. Attaching a hit counter next to the link (or even on another page) would be helpful for determining how much traffic a sponsor link tended to generate. Just my $.02.

    I think that the price is right for a lifetime link. You should find some more places to advertise. I guess you already tried on the major webmasters forums like digitalpoint, sitepoint, webhostingtalk, webmaster-talk, and others. You can also give a try at ebay to see if it is cost effective. Besides that I dont know where else you can advertise.

    Thanks for all the feedback so far!

    I know that the pricing is very attractive for a prominently placed permanent link on pages with traffic and some PR for what its worth, Pointless(Rank) in my opinion. I just need to reach the right people. When I reach the right people, I usually get at least 10 link sales from them right away.
