    I join in a web game company now, I am a game promotion manager. My job is to promote the games and get so many players to play the games on the website. Also, I need to find the game agents.

    But I am new to game (SLG) promotion and I do not know how to promote a free web game website, get many players to play the game on our website, seek for the game agents. Could anyone give me some suggestions for promoting a free web brower game website? Also, how can I seek for the game agents?

    Please help me and give me some suggestions. I am in the job probation period now. Thanks.

    Browser games? FB is your best bet in attracting users.

    Best bet would be social media since trying to rank this site in Google would be next to impossible. Post videos on YT with your games in it and a link to your site. Get a twitter management program and tweet your site through various accounts on twitter. FB works great as well as stated above. Kind of weird though that you accepted a job but apperently have no idea of what to actually do... I feel bad for your employer.

    Hire some game developers to create more free games and submit it to another game sites or social networks...you give and you will get.

    Create a contest and give a good price like game console or money to play the game and than publish your contest info through online forum game.

    Well for this kind of site, I agree that Facebook will be the best option for you to come up with some players. Try doing some viral marketing campaigns to promote your games and make sure you dont focus your site, but an individual game. Make some fan pages and groups and invite people to play those games on your site. Create an event and ask your close friends and colleagues to give their honest and best reviews for every game ;)

    Thank you very much for your good suggestions. Now, I want to seek for some agency for my web game, where can I find the game agency for our web games on the internet? Could any one offer me some resource or ideas? It seems that it is difficult to seek for the agent.

    hi, I am sorry that I have made a mistake. This is not the SLR, it is the SLG. This is our web browser flash game with some social features. How do seek for the agency for our game and promote it all over the world? Please share your ideas with me here. Thanks.

    I think social media is the way to go. Namely Facebook and Twitter.

    Yes, We have tried the Facebook ads but not Twitter. I want to know whether there are some other good platforms for promoting the web browser game/social game except for Facebook? Could anyone tell me, please?
