Well for promotion.. why not allow users to sign up and keep track of their scores in their profiles? For those who are competitive, it'll hook them into playing the games over and over again just to be the best on your site.
Any recommendations on a good gamers forum? I have similar site which keeps scores and tournaments with a social networking twist. it's been pretty good with google adsense, but I want to bring TONS of users to play regularly (isn't that everyone's ultimate plan?). Thanks
Buy myspace comments, a bunch of people are selling them in the forum....Are people able to post mini games on thier profiles?
I can only say that so far, this is what I have done for similar site. Took on $100 adsense for 1 month and it's onto 2 weeks now and Google gave me 100 users that actually registered. I don't have the games restricted to members only, so I know I'm getting a lot more users playing games. My site stat tells me at least over 100 a day and my adsense pay did go up (not much but up )...
Make a killer game, monetize the site, submit to other sites, sit back and earn loads of cash. Of course I left out a few minor details, but you've been around here awhile, you should know those.
