Best ways to market arcade sites?

    Hi,

    I have an arcade website: www.arcadism.com

    It has been going for about a month now, it's doing "OK" but not great. It gets around 80-100 uniques per day. I have a few paid links coming in and banners too. Also, as you can see I have quite a lot of reciprocal links. Any ideas from you gurus out there how I can spend the least money possible, and get the best result? My friend owns a proxy site which gets around 1000 uniques per day and it's very new. His secret is Myspace apparently, but I don't know the details. Do you own an arcade site that's doing well? Care to share a few tips?

    All help appreciated,

    thanks,

    Lee.

    Haha, yeah right :D
    It's keyword stuffing and it's pretty sure you didn't place it there for your visitors to read.

    I would begin changing the arcade's layout.
    It's just a simple, default template like it is now. Make it more unique and attractive BEFORE you actually send people to that site

    I personally would get a better script , But thats Just me

    That script you are running has a HUGE page load time , and not many features.

    I would suggest something like phpas arcade script

    Then I would buy a myspace robot and SPAM away

    There are plenty using this method

    I like using social networks to gain traffic. Currently i'm submitting links to my games on Digg. It's working out fairly well so far for my site: http://www.gamenex.us

    Trade links with a few myspace resource type sites. If you can afford to buy a few links on the larger resource sites you will definately see an increase in traffic.
