I remember when Arcade sites used to get a lot of traffic and revenue, but theres just so many of them around now. Do you still get the revenue from them that you used to?
I never owned one for long enough to really determine this. Mine has been around for only a year, but the fact that their is a lot of competitors doesn't really effect the traffic you get. Either way if your site is powerful with google then it just is. But yes, the profit has gone down. I was hoping for everyone to give up on creating arcade sites but I guess its not going to happen.
I think that, if you have some great content, exclusive and good games, won't be that hard to get good traffic. The key in this niche is quality, not quantity.
As long as the kids visit arcade site, I think the revenue will be high. The revenue has been down mostly because the market is saturated, there are to many arcade site out there.
The traffic is still high, but not as high as it use to mainly because of the increase in arcades and humor sites including media sites like youtube. People have much more ways of wasting their time now compared to what they use to have when youtube were not around. Saying this, the traffic is still good, but only as good as what you want it to be. If you don't promote hard then you will get nowhere.
