Good afternoon all! I've been looking for ways to draw traffic to my site arcadebazaar.com it's a free flash gaming site. I have been currently been using digg, mixx and stumbleupon which has brought a few people in but i want to target the masses! I also plan to do some blogging/squidoo soon and join up to some gaming sites. Any help is greatly appriciated! Thank you
Why not try to use PPC for promotion?It's so quick and efficient.If you don't like this way,you can also try to get more backlinks or exchange links with other webmasters.What's more,continuous SEO work is very important to your website.
How about setting up some link partnership with other arcade sites? That would be a good start for it.
Twitter, and Social Networking are great if you actually have people who see it and click and follow through. Viral marketing is great to access the masses, a funny picture or video with your website address shown can do wonders.
The best way is to distribute games with your links in. If you have money you can sponsor games (FlashGameLicense.com is a good place to start) or if you feel up to the challenge try making one yourself!
Link exchanges are always great. Getting your link out there will help you with the search engines in the long run. If you trade traffic purchasing traffic could also help.
Also. I have a friend who posts on gamefaqs forums with his site in his signature. He posts on one of the top ten games. And he just posts rubbish. I was trying it earlier today for one of my sites. Even though my posts were decent, they still got marked as spam. I think it was because I made three posts in one minute. Myabe it gets marked as spam if you make them too quick.
