    Hi,

    I've had this arcade site www.playedonline.com for about 15 months now (built it myself using gamesitescript). I'm looking for thoughs on it's current value. Here are some stats:

    AVG monthly uniques: 35K
    AVG monthly page impressions: 170K
    AVG monthly adsense revenue: $127
    AVG monthly bandwidth usage: 72GB

    Referrers:

    Google - 46% (top keywords: "free online games", "play tetris", "free games")
    Direct - 28%
    Yahoo - 9%
    Social bookmarking sites - 6%
    MSN - 4%
    Wikipedia - 2%

    Site has dropped from PR6 to PR4 at the last update as I haven't done any promotion for it for about 8 months. I just finished another round of promotion and expect it to rise back to PR6 (possibly even PR7) at the next update.

    One thing to note about this site is that is has no original content and was never updated since it's creation. Basically, I don't know the first thing about running an arcade site. I just put this together using a script and treated it as a marketing/SEO excercise. It stands to reason that if the content was better/fresher the affects of the current traffic might ignite a positive feedback loop.

    So, any thoughts?

    Maybe add a forum and offer prizes for top scores from your registered users?

    That sounds very excessive. I'm not exactly maximizing the revenue potential but 10 years worth of revenue?
