    Hello guys!


    Is here any Flash Games Site(s) owner, who know how to Effectively promote Flash Games Site? I plan to make one flash game site with some unique futures, and now I am thinking about the promotion. Do you have any ideas?

    I am not new to internet marketing and I am not going into this with Zero Budget. Here are few of my thoughts:

    Mochi-exchange
    I am not sure if is this still running, but some time ago mochi media has a program for publishers, that for every ad-impresion your visitors make, you will get one impression of your banner. If you are developer even more. I am not sure if is this still running (have to check) but this should get some visitors - maybe even buy some game, and be a developer (more credits?).

    Another Traffic-Exchange Sites
    I was not searching for this, but what I heard there are plenty of Game-traffic exchange sites. You will place there banner on your site and promote another websites. When your player click on the banner, you got some another click - even with some ration about 10:8 it is pretty nice traffic source, isnt it?

    For those methods I need traffic at first - for that I want to try:

    Buy some Ads from Ad-Companies
    Something like Google Adsense (maybe with a coupon), Facebook ads, Game4Ads and such a companies selling Game-targeted traffic. The problem here is that those traffic is kind a expensive, because you have to play the traffic owner and plus to the company. Do you know some good (many quality game traffic and good prices) ad-companies?

    Try to buy some Ad-Spots directly
    Just contact some games pages owner directly and ask for advertising. It should take too much time to do this, dont know :/

    What about porn-adult traffic?
    It is pretty much low-cost, but I think the convers-rate would be very bad. What do you think?

    Buy some traffic here on DP...
    Just try to post new thread in BuyandSell if is somebody not offering game traffic, somethimes people here surprise :)

    SEO
    I do this for living, but in games it is pretty much nicely full I think. But anyway I go for some KWs and will see what it does.



    Do you have any other tools how to get traffic? I am really not working with zero budget at all, but I dont want to pay hundreds of dollars just to try something. My budget is x,xxx, maybe even xx,xxx USD for this project to marketing, but I want to do it right.

    For any idea, help or anything, I would be thankful as hell!

    Try visiting forums related to gaming and the younger crowds. Read the questions and see what people want, then help them.

    You should join in conversations and establish yourself in no time if you do things the correct way.

    You might also consider setting up a Facebook fan page. Many Facebook fan pages are known to go viral like crazy. If you haven't considered a fan page, I highly recommend you look into it.

    Thanks for post! You are absolutely right about the FB. I am now thinking about contacting some owners of big FB pages (in Games niche) and start some partnership.

    But I will try connect as much as possible my page with FB! Thanks mate!
