I just started working for a company that spent good money on a flash video game promoting their brand. It is fun to play but has gotten no traffic. Can anyone recommend ways to promote it. I have started by posting to relevent blogs.
If we give it away will we still host it. I ask becuase our company will be promoting more than one deal so the ads will need to change. If we give it away is it better to just promote the brand and not the products that change every month?
you could give it away but still change the ads/promotionals in the game ... they should by dynamically loaded and not hard-coded in the game. make them pull from your server and then you can change them whenever you want regardless of where the actual fla is being hosted.
hey lawdog, A good idea will be to put a section in your site for "free site content" so webmasters can put your flash games on their site. By the way, if you are interasted in putting the games for free webmaster use, i would like to consider putting them on my gaming site. PM me plessseee!! peacee roy77
I know for a fact when I, or any of the people I know think of online flash games addictinggames.com comes to mind right away. Is there anyway you can give other games or a sample to them? They can generate a lot of traffic for you if your game is fun.
Another way would be to just tell people. Word-of-mouth works especially well for games, in my experience (and even more if the game is exclusive).
Get stumbled, put your online games on social bookmarks and made some fantastic good Adventure and arcade games.... i wanna play that
If it's a really fun game, you could try doing a small press release on it (even a free one). You could also send a quick e-mail to a few relevant sites to see if they find it cool enough to make mention of it. Brian
