    Arcadedirectory.com is open for business!

    Arcadedirectory.com is a directory specifically dedicateds towards arcades and arcade related resource sites.

    The site is broken up into 5 top level categories and 21 sub categories.

    Ive tried to cover all my bases with the categories on offer, but if you feel another one would be suitable, dont hesitate to use the contact us form to let me know.

    Link Types

    Sponsored - limited to one per category, top level categories allowed, these links appear at the very top.
    Featured - limited to 3 per sub category, appear under sponsored
    Regulars - unlimited, appear below featured

    All links are lifetime

    There are no subscription periods with the directory, so you dont get slugged a charge you werent expecting.

    All links are paid, with regulars starting at $2.95.

    Since the site is all about arcades, if you find your preferred, or "best-fit" parent/sub category already has its share of sponsored or featured links,
    please select another one. Unlike a general directory, where placing a link about real estate for example in a category about tech blogs would be silly, all sites are essentially related to each other on arcadedirectory.com. When it comes to regular links, since they are unlimited, its very easy to pick the most appropriate category.

    Extra Fields

    The submission page allows you to submit some interesting extra fields that I customized for this site.

    Fields related to arcades:

    Number Of Games, Most Popular Game, Unique Game, Owners Favorite.

    Fields related to premium/paid arcades:

    Subscription Options, Members Bonuses.

    Fields related to physical businesses:

    Address, city, state, postcode etc. These details are used to show a google map.

    All of these extra fields appear in the details listing of the submission. Please take the extra time to fill these fields out, I think it help ensure your site stands out.

    I think this adds a level of uniqueness and quality not found elsewhere in the genre.

    Submission Requirements

    Ive set what I think are reasonable, but strictly enforced requirements for link listings, specifically titles.

    Always use your sitename in your title and then and keywords after that.

    The submission rules are simple, and logically laid out, so please take a minute or two to read them.

    I think they will help ensure the site maintains a high standard

    ----

    Im having a launch promotion and reducing prices roughly 50% for the time being to build some momentum. If money is tight, now is a great time to get a regular permanent link and have your site appear near the very top of the listings.

    The site is totally new, and has been indexed, but I expect to see it ranked quite well for various terms associated with arcades, and obviously arcadedirectory.com is a great domain name for the site.

    Please remember, all links are lifetime. For as long as im alive, your link will be alive, maybe even beyond! :p

    Have fun and enjoy the site.

    Regards,
    Matt.

    It will save somebody's time if you can mention that it's a niche directory.
